  • Turbine exhaust cylinder/ turbine exhaust manifold bolted stiffening ribs
    Patent number: 9840937
    Abstract: Disclosed are a casing arrangement and a method to reduce vibrations in a gas turbine casing. The casing arrangement includes a turbine exhaust cylinder connected to a turbine exhaust manifold establishing a fluid flow path, the fluid flow path including an inner and an outer flow path. A damping blanket damps the vibrations and is coupled to a surface of the inner flow path via a constraining layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 14, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2017
    Assignee: SIEMENS ENERGY, INC.
    Inventors: Yevgeniy P. Shteyman, John Giaimo, Daniel M. Eshak, Thomas Heylmun
  • Turbine exhaust cylinder / turbine exhaust manifold bolted stiffening ribs
    Patent number: 9617873
    Abstract: Disclosed are a casing arrangement and a method to reduce critical panel mode response in a gas turbine casing. The casing arrangement includes a turbine exhaust cylinder connected to a turbine exhaust manifold establishing a fluid flow path, the fluid flow path including an inner and an outer flow path. A plurality of stiffening ribs are coupled to a surface of the inner flow path which effectively increases the stiffness reducing the critical panel mode response.
