Publication number: 20240426223Abstract: A blade for a continuous flow machine, wherein the blade is formed along a radial direction and has a blade tip and a blade cross-sectional profile with a pressure side and a suction side. The blade has a blade tip surface which is opposite a housing inner wall during operation. The blade tip surface has an abradable coating, wherein the abradable coating is formed in such a way that a wearing away of the abradable coating takes place during operation, when coming into contact with the housing inner wall, wherein the abradable coating is formed with an abradable coating surface, wherein notches are arranged in the abradable coating surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: December 26, 2024Applicant: Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8459652Abstract: A brush seal for a turbo-machine for sealing a gap between a rotating and a stationary component is disclosed. Elastically flexible bristles are arranged in a plurality of rows that are adjacent to each other. A film or a disk is arranged between at least two rows of bristles, the film or the disk extending in the longitudinal direction of said bristles.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2007Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stefan Brück, Matthias Neef, Erik Sulda, Norbert Sürken

Patent number: 8066286Abstract: The invention relates to a multistage brush seal of a steam turbine that comprises several brushes which in turn comprise several bristles. A plurality of brushes are arranged next to each other and are configured different from each other with regard to the length of the bristles, or to the bristle thicknesses, or to the bristle rigidities, or to the lay angle of the bristles, or to the height of a first guard ring in front of or behind the brush seal in the flow direction, which delimits this brush seal, or to a gap between the bristles and an opposing surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Matthias Neef, Norbert Sürken, Karl Urlichs

Publication number: 20100322775Abstract: A rotor blade for a turbomachine, particularly a steam turbine is provided. The rotor blade includes a turbine blade and a blade base, wherein the turbine blade has a suction side and a pressure side, as well as an inflow edge and an outflow edge, wherein an erosion protection shield is disposed at a distance in front of the outflow edge in order to avoid liquid impingement erosion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2008Publication date: December 23, 2010Inventor: Norbert Sürken

Publication number: 20100276890Abstract: The invention relates to a multistage brush seal of a steam turbine, the brush seal comprising several brushes which in turn comprise several bristles. Conventional multistage brush seals have a conservative configuration because a precise prediction regarding the pressure difference of a single stage is not possible. The aim of the invention is therefore to provide a brush seal that allows a more precise prediction in respect of the pressure difference in a single stage or brush and thus provides a more precise dimensioning of the brush seal while achieve possible savings. The invention proposes that the adjacently arranged brushes have a varying configuration in respect of different parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2007Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventors: Matthias Neef, Norbert Sürken, Karl Urlichs
