  • Patent number: 9890658
    Abstract: The invention provides a fixation device for a turbine, including a flange mounted on a housing of the turbine and a nut assembly received in the flange to apply fixation to an component inside the housing. The flange is fixed to the housing by a plurality of first bolts and comprises a central threaded hole. The nut assembly comprises a nut body with a first hole formed along the central axis of the nut body and a plurality of second holes formed around the central axis, and a plurality of second bolts received in the respective second holes. The nut body is formed with thread on its outer circumferential surface and fitted within the central threaded hole of the flange. The second bolts are screwed in the second holes to apply fixation against the component inside the housing of the turbine. The nut assembly further comprises a plurality of sleeves received in the respective second holes, and the plurality of second bolts are received in the respective sleeves.

  • Patent number: 9835055
    Abstract: An exemplary pullable drawer is arranged for removably protruding in a radial direction into an outer housing of a turbine, in order to make mechanical contact with an inner carrier being concentrically arranged within the outer housing. The pullable drawer has an essentially cylindrical body, which extends along a longitudinal drawer axis. A mechanical decoupling is provided, as the pullable drawer is divided along the longitudinal drawer axis into at least separate first and second parts. The first and second parts are coupled with each other by means of a releasable mechanical joint.
