  • Patent number: 9906104
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for balancing a component (1), in particular a rotor of an electric machine, using pins (11, 11?) which are introduced into prefabricated openings (5, 7, 9) in the component (1). The component (1) is balanced in that pins (11, 11?) of different lengths, cross-sectional areas, and cross-sectional shapes are fixed in corresponding openings (7, 9) in the component (1). Furthermore, the pins (11, 11?) can be assembled from multiple elements (13, 13?), and the method can be used to increase the balancing quality incrementally in one or more stages. The imbalance of the component (1) can be considerably reduced using said method, and simultaneously the weight, space requirements, and inertia of the component (1) can be reduced. In addition, the method can be automated.

  • Patent number: 9726041
    Abstract: A cooling option for a steam turbine is provided, wherein the steam turbine includes a high-pressure zone and a medium-pressure zone, wherein the saturated steam streaming out of the high-pressure zone is discharged via a saturated steam conduit to a first pressure chamber in a second flow channel of the medium-pressure zone and thus the possibility of the saturated steam causing damage by corrosion and erosion in the high-pressure zone is prevented.
