  • Patent number: 9920770
    Abstract: A flow machine with a rotor-side shaft includes: a stator-side housing in which the rotor-side shaft is mounted; a seal bushing configured to seal a gap between the stator-side housing and the rotor-side shaft; a retaining bolt configured to center the seal bushing at the stator-side housing in a heat-resilient manner; and a clamp configured to fix the seal bushing in a positively engaging manner at the stator-side housing while ensuring a radial displaceability of the seal bushing relative to the stator-side housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9752672
    Abstract: A transmission turbo machine integrates drive units and/or driven units into a machine train via a transmission. The integrated transmission substantially comprises a central large wheel with a shaft and a plurality of pinions with pinion shafts. The large wheel is operatively connected to the pinions, and the ends of the pinion shafts are operatively connected to a drive unit and/or driven unit. The shaft of the large wheel is operatively connected to a drive unit and/or driven unit. The invention is characterized in that the drive unit and/or driven unit is an axial expander which is mounted in a cantilevering manner in one or more stages.

  • Publication number: 20150118032
    Abstract: A seal system for sealing a seal gap in a turbomachine includes: a rotor component; a stator component, the sealing gap extending between the rotor component and the stator component; first seal strips and second seal strips each projecting into the seal gap and forming at least one seal strip package; first seal strip grooves in the rotor component that receive the first seal strips; second seal strip grooves in the stator component that receive the second seal strips; and a relief groove in the rotor component arranged in front of the seal strip package, and after the seal strip package. Every relief groove is at least two times wider than, and at most six times wider than, the first and second seal strip grooves and at least two times deeper than, and at most six times deeper than, the first and second seal strip grooves.

  • Publication number: 20120321450
    Abstract: A flow machine includes two structural component parts that cooperate with one another by a bellows seal so that the bellows seal forms a medium barrier between two spaces of the flow machine which directly adjoin the two structural component parts. The flow machine is constructed as a gas turbine, and one space of the two spaces is a hot-gas space of a high-pressure stage of the gas turbine.
