TLDR
In this paper, a support arrangement for an AXIAL FLOW ELASTIC FLUID MACHINE is presented, after which two support plates are placed between the GIB key and block assembly.Abstract:
A SUPPORT ARRANGEMENT FOR AN AXIAL FLOW ELASTIC FLUID MACHINE COMPRISING, AFTER FINAL ASSEMBLY, TWO SUPPORT PLATES AND POSITIONED THEREBETWEEN A GIB KEY AND BLOCK ASSEMBLY. THE FLAT PLATES ARE FIXED IN THE VERTICAL AND LATERAL DIRECTIONS BUT ARE ALLOWED TO FLEX IN AN AXIAL DIRECTION WHEN THERMAL MOVEMENT OCCURS. THE GIB KEY IS FIXED IN THE AXIAL DIRECTION AND IS POSITIONED SO AS TO PROPORTION THE AXIAL MOVEMENT BETWEEN FORE AND AFT SUPPORT PLATES. IN THIS MANNER PROPER ALIGNMENT IS MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE GAS TURBINE SHAFT AND LOAD SHAFT. DURING SHIPMENT THE AFT SUPPORT PLATE IS REMOVED SO THAT THE BASE CAN TWIST WITHOUT IMPARTING A TORISIONAL MOMENT TO THE GAS TURBINE CASINGS.read more
