  • Method for testing rotors
    Patent number: 8261616
    Abstract: A method for testing rotors is disclosed, wherein a rotor to be tested is coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to an activating motor and is set in rotation. Vibrations of the rotor to be tested are measured, wherein the activating motor is operated such that torsional excitations are generated in the rotor.

  • Combination power plant and method for the cooling thereof
    Patent number: 8074454
    Abstract: The invention relates to a combination power plant which is embodied as a single shaft, power plant, essentially consisting of a gas turbine, a steam turbine and a generator which is connected therebetween. A coupling is arranged between the generator and the steam turbine, and at least one drive device, which is used to drive the single-shaft power plant, is also provided. The coupling is uncoupled during a turning operation and a control unit, which is used to control the rotational speed of the steam turbine, is provided.

  • HYDRODYNAMIC RADIAL PLAIN BEARING WITH A VERY HIGH LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY OF LARGE TURBINE SETS
    Publication number: 20100002967
    Abstract: A plain bearing with a bearing body in which a body, which is to be stored is arranged, is disclosed. The bearing body is surrounded by a supporting body. The bearing capacity is improved by virtue of the fact that the bearing body has a partial joint arranged at an angle in relation to the horizontal. The plain bearing has an active cooling system and an articulated lubrication system.
