  • Patent number: 9109457
    Abstract: A turbine blade rotor assembly provides sealing for the rotor components and bi-direction axially locking of the blades on the rotor using a seal plate on the aft exhaust side without axial locking on the forward intake side of the rotor and blade array. As a result, the blades can be removed from the aft direction without moving a turbine casing.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150003965
    Abstract: A turbomachine having a rotor is provided, wherein the rotor comprises a central holding element and rotor elements which are arranged thereon, is intended to permit faster start-up without reducing the lifetime of the rotor, while permitting better predictions relating to the remaining lifetime of the rotor. To this end, a contact element is arranged in a region of the rotor between the holding element and the rotor element, wherein the contact element comprises a temperature measurement device.

  • Patent number: 8894371
    Abstract: A rotor section for a rotor of a gas turbine, a rotor blade, and a blocking element are provided. The rotor section includes a rotor disk including rotor blades that are inserted thereon in holding grooves and that are secured against sliding along the holding grooves by means of a sealing element arranged at the end face. In order to specify a reliable, simple, and easy-to-design construction for the circumferential fixing of the sealing elements, it is proposed that each sealing element be secured by one blocking element, which engages in a hole arranged at the end face in the rotor blade root.

  • Patent number: 8888460
    Abstract: A rotor section for a rotor of a gas turbine is provided. The rotor section includes a rotor disk with rotor blades inserted in retaining grooves thereupon, the rotor blades being secured against displacement along the retaining grooves by means of a sealing element which is arranged on the end face. In order to disclose a reliable construction which can be designed in a straightforward and simple manner for the circumferential fixing of the sealing element, each sealing element is secured by means of a blocking element in each case which in this case engages in a hole which is arranged in the rotor blade root on the end face.

  • Patent number: 8641365
    Abstract: A rotor of a thermal turbomachine, particularly a gas turbine, is provided. The rotor includes a plurality of individual rotor components that are held together by a tie-bold and combined into a unit. The tie-bolt is supported by the assembly of the surrounding rotor components including the tie-bolt and the rotor disks. A hollow shaft which is made up of two tubular sections and a support wheel further support the rotor.
