  • Patent number: 9188023
    Abstract: An oil supply system for a stationary turbomachine is provided. A safe operation of the turbomachine is enabled even at ambient temperatures of up to 60° C. for a plurality of hours in a novel connection arrangement of the components of the oil supply system, such as the oil tank, pump a, and heat exchanger, as well as the pipeline system, without one of the components having to be designed for a further increased operating temperature. The oil tank has two regions stacked horizontally one above the other for storing the oil. The two regions are largely or completely separated from each other by a separating element.

  • Patent number: 8870526
    Abstract: A stator blade carrier for a gas turbine is provided. The stator blade carrier includes a plurality of axial segments. At least one axial segment is designed as a tubular lattice structure. This allows a simpler design technically and a more flexible adaptation to the temperature profile present on the stator blade carrier to maintain operational safety.

  • Patent number: 8800292
    Abstract: A heat shield element arrangement including a heat shield element for a heat shield arranged on a supporting structure is provided. On each of the two opposing sides running parallel to the installation grooves the heat shield element includes a continuous screw head opening which penetrates the cold side and the hot side of the heat shield element substantially vertically and through which the screw head of the respective screw is arranged to be accessible to the supporting structure, and a spring element may be arranged under the respective screw, which spring element may be extended along the hot side of the heat shield element and the parallel installation groove of the supporting structure. An outer end of the spring element is embodied as a clamping retaining hook which is provided for the purpose of engaging in the laterally recessed retaining groove of the heat shield element.

  • Publication number: 20020157400
    Abstract: A gas turbine is provided which has a combustor comprising a plurality of can-type combustor elements and an annular element. Isolated combustion takes place in the can-type combustor thereby generating individual component hot gas streams. The component hot gas streams are merged in the annular part. Combustion oscillations are substantially avoided by decoupling combustion flames. Accordingly, temperature and pressure homogenization as well as combustion stabilization by cross-ignition is effected.

  • Patent number: 5508486
    Abstract: A gas-insulating switching unit includes a gas-filled housing containing a multi-pole vacuum switch and a three-position circuit breaker arranged below it. The vacuum switch is arranged so that the longitudinal axes of the horizontally positioned vacuum switching tubes are perpendicular to the front wall of the housing. The switch shaft of the circuit breaker is parallel to the front wall of the housing. Actuating rods are sealed against the front wall be bellows and can be used to operate the vacuum switching tubes. The circuit breaker is operated by a drive device via two pivoting levers that can be coupled by means of a fork opening.

  • Patent number: 5128219
    Abstract: In a metal oxide/hydrogen storage battery, preferably formed as a coiled cell or as a button cell, having a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and an intermediate separator, the oxidation-sensitive negative electrode is protected against diffusing oxygen by a metallic covering of the electrode's metal hydride particles, and the oxygen reduction necessary for gas-tight operation is transferred to an auxiliary electrode which is arranged outside of the ionic path between the positive and negative electrodes. Metals with high solubility for hydrogen, such as Pd, Ni and Cu, are suitable as the covering material. The auxiliary electrode is formed as a film based on a mixture of activated carbon, a PTFE binder and conducting graphite, and is either laminated onto the negative metal hydride electrode or is spatially separated from the main electrodes, depending upon the cell's overall construction.

  • Patent number: 5122426
    Abstract: An auxiliary electrode for improving the consumption of oxygen in a gas-tight, sealed alkaline secondary cell is comprised of a synthetic nonwoven fabric and a film rolled onto the fabric. The film is a PTFE-bound activated carbon, and the side of the nonwoven fabric receiving the film is first impregnated with an aqueous cellulose ether mixture to develop a three layer structure including a highly porous, hydrophobic layer made of the nonwoven material, left in its original state and facing the electrolyte or a gas supply, a hydrophilic impregnated layer, and a catalytically active hydrophobic consumption layer electrically connected with the cell's negative electrode and constituting the preferred location for oxygen reduction, at the resulting hydrophobic/hydrophilic transition layer.

  • Patent number: 4987041
    Abstract: Overcharge protection, and especially the chargeability of a sealed Ni/Cd battery with high currents (up to 1 CA) is improved by rolling a carbon-containing powdered material into the surface of the negative electrode, which material catalyzes the reduction of oxygen. Wetting of the electrode with a "Tylose" dispersion prior to application of the powder (by powdering, vibration or in an agitator) improves the adhesion of the powder. The cadmium electrode thus prepared combines in itself the functions of a negative principal electrode and of an auxiliary oxygen electrode.

  • Patent number: 4215187
    Abstract: The electrodes and separators are assembled into a plate package, which is slipped over a post extending upward from the cell housing bottom. Pole lead-through is provided in the lid, the lead-through includes a rivet and a sealing ring. The edges of the housing bottom and the tip of the post are welded to the lid to close the cell.
