TRANSPORTABLE MODULAR GAS-TURBINE POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: power plant has power frame that mounts power train as well as gas-generator, gas-turbine drive, and exhaust modules joined together directly and/or through gas ducts for axial displacement and disposed on fastening sets including posts and hangers. At least one fastening set of one of modules has pair of posts and pair of hangers with hinges. Pair of posts of one of modules is movable and that of other module is fixed in position. Post hinges are radially arranged symmetrically to symmetry plain or axis of respective module at points of its standard attachment. Modules are joined together for relative axial displacement and for displacement relative to symmetrically disposed power links hinged to articulated joints between modules and posts. Post pair hinges of power-ring fastening set are mounted on this ring for radial expansion towards hinge axis running in vicinity of or through common center of gravity of gas-turbine drive module, power ring, and outer cone of contraction. Gas-discharge channel body and outer cone of contraction are free to turn about longitudinal axis of plant irrespective of thermal expansion. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities, reduced weight, and enhanced operating reliability of power plant. 6 cl, 2 dwg
