Embodiment Construction

[0051] In a horizontal position for blade work tents and heaters are often used to control the external temperature of the blade surface or other parts where it is used, but the tent does not cover the complete blade and wind can enter the root end and cool the blade from the inside , thereby avoiding the correct temperature for repair work. This can be improved by using an inflatable member which can be inserted into the hollow section of the blade.

[0052] now refer to figure 1 (Also refer to figure 2 ), the blade 1 is shown as a wind turbine module, which is separated from the wind turbine for maintenance. The blade 1 is a hollow part with a blade wall 2 . A hollow root section 3 is located at the root end of the blade 1 .

[0053] During maintenance, if figure 1 and figure 2 As shown in , the inflatable member 10 can be inserted into the hollow root section 3 of the blade 1 . The inflatable member 10 also includes an inflatable structure 11 having an airtight hou...

Abstract

The invention is directed to an inflatable component (10) usable during service and / or installation of a wind turbine module (1), comprising an inflation structure (11) with an air tight shell (12) and a sealable passage (13) in the inflation structure (11) for ingress or discharge of air into or from the air tight shell (11) for inflating or deflating the inflation structure (11). The inflation structure (11) is dimensioned to provide a thermal and / or physical barrier in respect of external fluids and / or physical objects or particles acting upon the inflation structure (11) in case the inflation structure (11) is inflated and inserted in a hollow section (3) of the wind turbine module (1). The invention is further directed to a wind turbine arrangement comprising such an inflatable component (10) and also to a servicing or installation method of a wind turbine module (1) by using the inflatable component (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of maintenance or installation of wind turbines. Background technique [0002] When servicing a wind turbine, but also during initial installation or erection of the wind turbine, technicians will perform work at components of the wind turbine. These components may be wind turbine blades or other components of the wind turbine, such as towers or hubs. These components may be located on the ground, or on a ship separate from the wind turbine, or may already be part of an erected wind turbine. As another option, components such as blades may be temporarily detached from the erected wind turbine and may be hung from a crane. [0003] For example in offshore facilities, during work, severe weather conditions such as rain, wind, snow or extreme temperatures may be experienced. Due to adverse weather conditions, the temperature may not be accurate for the repair work process. [0004] In other regional locations, the ai...
