  • Patent number: 9840919
    Abstract: A method for producing a run-in coating for a turbomachine for braking a rotor in the event of a shaft breakage, the run-in coating being formed as an integral, generative blade portion during a generative manufacture of a blade. A run-in system having an abradable ring that is configured circumferentially on a blade row and has a chamber-type material structure. A turbomachine having a run-in system of this kind, as well as a guide vane having such a run-in coating.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9175690
    Abstract: A compressor is disclosed, which has an inflow channel for guiding a compression medium into a compressor housing, a pressure chamber formed within the compressor housing, and a liner segment with nozzles that transport the compression medium from the pressure chamber to a rotor. The nozzles are formed in the liner segment as a plurality of nozzles arranged in a group in fan-like manner.

  • Patent number: 8628291
    Abstract: A gas turbine compressor is disclosed. The compressor includes a compressor housing, guide vanes, rotor blades, and valve-controlled blow-in openings for stabilizing the compressor flow by air that is blown in. The air flow is detected by pressure sensors and the valves are controlled as a function thereof.

  • Publication number: 20120219726
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a component (12), especially a hollow structural part for a turbomachine. The method is characterized by the following steps: a) layer-by-layer deposition of at least one powder component material (20a) onto a component platform in the region of a buildup and joining zone (I), b) deposition of at least one liquid component material (20b) onto the powder component material (20a), the liquid component material (20b) comprising at least one metal-containing compound, c) local layer-by-layer fusion or sintering of the component materials (20a, 20b) by means of thermal and/or electromagnetic energy supplied in the region of the buildup and joining zone (I), d) lowering of the component platform by a predefined layer thickness; and e) repetition of steps a) to d) until the component (12) is finished. The invention further relates to a device (10) for producing a component (12) of a turbomachine, especially a hollow structural part for a turbomachine.

  • Publication number: 20120217226
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a component (10) of a turbomachine, especially a structural part of a turbine or a compressor, the method being a generative production method for the layer-by-layer buildup of the component (10). After production of one or more successive component layers pressure is applied to at least sections of the surface of the most recently produced component layer (12), the pressure being induced by laser or plasma. The invention further relates to a device for producing a component (10) of a turbomachine, especially a structural part of a turbine or a compressor, the device (26) comprising at least one powder feed (28) for the deposition of at least one powder component material (16) onto a component platform, at least one radiation source (14) for a local layer-by-layer fusion or sintering of the component material (16) and at least one laser radiation source (20) or at least one plasma impulse source.

  • Publication number: 20110189014
    Abstract: A gas turbine and a method for varying the aerodynamic shape of a blade of the gas turbine is disclosed. The blade has a coating made of a shape-memory alloy. Hot air is transported via channels to the coated blade in order to cause a phase change in the coating and an aerodynamic shape change to the blade.
