  • Patent number: 12037926
    Abstract: A rotor of a gas turbine having two adjacent rotor discs, on each of which moving blades are fastened, an annular rotor component being arranged between the rotor discs and having at its opposite ends circumferential annular grooves, in each of which a circumferential fastening projection on the respective rotor disc engages. When the rotor is stationary a first outer flank of the first annular groove rests under pressure against a first outer flank of the first fastening projection and there is play between a first inner flank of the first annular groove and a first inner flank of the first fastening projection.

  • Patent number: 11339662
    Abstract: A rotor of a gas turbine, having two adjacent rotor disks having a plurality of blade-holding grooves for receiving rotor blades, distributed around the periphery thereof, and having an axially extending peripheral ring projection radially beneath the blade-holding grooves. A peripheral rotor component is fixed to the ring projections, between the rotor disks. In order to protect the periphery, the rotor disk or the rotor component includes at least two recesses arranged on the periphery in a distributed manner, in each of which engaging shoulders of the rotor component or the rotor disk engage.

  • Patent number: 11319823
    Abstract: A sealing element and a rotor of a gas turbine having at least one rotor disc and having an annular rotor component arranged adjacently to the rotor disc and having a plurality of sealing elements arranged distributed around the circumference. The sealing elements are fastened to the rotor disc at least in the axial direction. An inner edge portion of each of the sealing elements is adjacent to a sealing portion of the rotor component. In order to provide a seal between the sealing element and rotor component whilst at the same time enabling a relative axial displacement, a ring seal is arranged in a receiving space formed by the sealing element and rotor component.

  • Patent number: 10436657
    Abstract: A method for determining an axial tensile force applied to a component, includes fastening the component in place and applying axial tensile force to the component from a free end of the component by a loading device, having a loading body with a central axial main threaded bore and a plurality of secondary threaded bores distributed evenly along the circumference and having loading screws, which are screwed into the secondary threaded bores. The loading body is screwed onto the free end of the component and the loading screws are loaded against a stationary abutment in the direction of the fastening. The axial tensile force applied to the component is determined. Deformation of the loading body transverse to the axial direction of the loading body is sensed and the axial tensile force applied to the component is determined from the deformation of the loading body.

  • Patent number: 10422225
    Abstract: An annular clamping nut which is provided for being placed onto the end of a tie bar, in order to brace the latter, and which has in addition to a central recess for receiving the tie bar parallel to a longitudinal direction passages at uniform radial spacings in the ring circumferential direction which are directed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the central recess and are provided for receiving clamping screws. An external thread is provided on the outer surface of the clamping nut, which outer surface is arranged on a side which lies substantially opposite the wall of the central recess, which external thread runs substantially in the ring circumferential direction of the outer surface.

  • Publication number: 20180266468
    Abstract: A component, provided with a thread has increased play in the axial direction in comparison with a standard thread, which allows nuts to be screwed on, even in the case of highly preloaded bolts, and also enables a highly loadable threaded connection. For this purpose, the play is monotonically increasing in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9200935
    Abstract: A method to determine a mass proportion of a first component of a multi-component fluid is provided that includes separating the first component in a separation step at least in part from the multi-component fluid, determining at least two reference flow rates, selected from a flow rate of the multi-component fluid supplied to the separation step, a flow rate of a residual fluid resulting from the separation of the first component, and a flow rate of a separation fluid accumulating in the separation step, and determining the mass proportion of the first component from the selected reference flow rates, taking into account a non-separated residual content of the first component in the residual fluid. An extraneous content of an additional separated component of the multi-component fluid is additionally taken into account.
