Werner Setz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Cooling of a gas turbine component designed as a rotor disk or turbine blade
    Patent number: 8956116
    Abstract: A gas turbine component for example a turbine blade or a rotor disk is provided. In order to extend the service life of the corresponding component by reducing the thermally or mechanically induced stress concentration in the direct surroundings of a duct opening onto a surface, at least one groove-like recess is provided near the effective zone of the opening.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 17, 2015
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Fathi Ahmad, Harald Hoell, Karsten Kolk, Harald Nimptsch, Werner Setz

  • Turbo machine with a rotor which has at least one rotor disk with a bore
    Patent number: 7819632
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor disk for the rotor of a non-positive displacement machine with at least one borehole extending in an axial direction. The aim of the invention is to provide a rotor disk for a non-positive displacement machine that has an increased serviceable life. To this end, the boring extends in an at least partially convex manner whereby having an enlarged diameter in the middle area in order to increase internal compressive stress an to reduce tangential stresses.

  • Method and device for identifying the state of the rotor of a non-positive-displacement machine
    Patent number: 7568886
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor of a non-positive-displacement machine which, when exposed, has an inspection area which is visible from the outside and inside of which a comparatively uncritical load occurs during the operation of the non-positive-displacement machine. In addition, the rotor, when exposed, has a monitoring area which is not visible from the outside and inside of which a comparatively critical load occurs during the operation of the non-positive-displacement machine. The rotor also has a weak point provided in the form of a predetermined breaking point having the shape of a notch and located in inspection area. In order to improve the reliability of the non-positive-displacement machine, a recess, particularly a release bore hole, is provided for delimiting the weak point, and the uncritical defect can terminate inside said release bore hole.
