  • Coupling device for connecting a clutch to a turbine train
    Patent number: 10316894
    Abstract: A coupling device for connecting a clutch to a turbine train, a turbine train having a clutch, and a method for connecting a clutch to a generator and to a turbine. The coupling device for connecting the clutch has a first coupling flange and a second coupling flange, wherein the first coupling flange and the second coupling flange each have at least one bore for accommodating a coupling bolt. The first coupling flange and the second coupling flange are centered in relation to each other by means of at least one coupling bolt, which is inserted into the bores in the first and in the second coupling flange.

  • METHOD FOR COUPLING A STEAM TURBINE AND A GAS TURBINE AT A DESIRED DIFFERENTIAL ANGLE
    Publication number: 20170175590
    Abstract: A method for coupling a rotational device, particularly a steam turbine, and a shaft device, particularly a gas turbine, the method including the following steps: accelerating the rotational device up to an output rotational speed that is below the rotational speed of the shaft device; detecting a differential angle between the shaft device and the rotational device; and accelerating the rotational device with an acceleration value that is derived from the target rotational speed difference, which is formed as a function of the detected differential angle, the acceleration and a desired target coupling angle. An associated arrangement couples a rotational device.
