Methods and apparatus for rotor blade ice detection

ActiveUS20050276696A1Reduced lifting capabilityDiminished aerodynamic rotor blade performancePropellersWind motor controlIcing conditionsEngineering
A method for detecting ice on a wind turbine having a rotor and one or more rotor blades each having blade roots includes monitoring meteorological conditions relating to icing conditions and monitoring one or more physical characteristics of the wind turbine in operation that vary in accordance with at least one of the mass of the one or more rotor blades or a mass imbalance between the rotor blades. The method also includes using the one or more monitored physical characteristics to determine whether a blade mass anomaly exists, determining whether the monitored meteorological conditions are consistent with blade icing; and signaling an icing-related blade mass anomaly when a blade mass anomaly is determined to exist and the monitored meteorological conditions are determined to be consistent with icing.

Shaft seal and turbine using the same

InactiveUS6343792B1High sealing capabilityReduce leakageEngine sealsPiston ringsGas turbinesEngineering
A shaft seal having a high abrasion resistance is disclosed, by which the leakage of the gas from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side can be reduced. In the shaft seal, flexible leaves are multi-layered to form a ring shape. The shaft seal is mainly arranged around the rotation shaft of a gas turbine or the like. The relevant turbine comprises a casing, a compressor, a rotation shaft, moving blades attached to the rotation shaft, and stationary blades attached to the casing in a manner such that the stationary blades face the moving blades, wherein the shaft seals are provided between a plurality of stationary blades and the rotation shaft wherein the leaves of each shaft seal contact the rotation shaft. Under the rated operating conditions, the top ends of the leaves slightly separate from the surface of the rotation shaft due to the dynamic pressure generated by the rotation of the rotation shaft. When the turbine is not operated, the top ends of the leaves contact the rotation shaft again due to the elastic restoring force of the leaves.

Corn head row unit

InactiveUS7373767B2Improve performanceReducing congestion mote levelHarvestersFluteDrive shaft
This row unit utilizes an improved multi-zone, multi-functional stalk roll, which contains a novel revolving entry window to improve entry and increase engagement of the fluted portion of the stalk roll flutes with the corn stalk. The stalk rolls described are multi-sectional and contain multi-length variable flutes. The number of flutes described for each zone may vary as well as whether the flutes are meshing or non-meshing and angled or non-angled. The stalk rolls described allow a constant speed drive shaft to create lower and / or higher effective circumferential contact speeds within each zone of the stalk roll. The invention provides that the rotating transport vanes located on the helical nose cone at the entry area to the stalk roll flutes lock the corn stalk into a revolving entry window. This novel row unit contains a multi-zone, multi-functional stripper plate that ensures minimal ear wedging and maximum discharge of material other than ears. This row unit utilizes a novel gathering / conveying chain(s), which reduces the number of and increases the angle and size of the paddles. This row unit design optimizes operation between the components imparting force to the corn plant and ears. The invention has a smooth uninterrupted improved flow of corn stalk material through the ear separation chamber and is the first row unit designed to be environmentally friendly by ensuring that the majority of the corn plant remains connected to its original root system which prevents it from rapidly decomposing, blowing or washing away. The row unit cover is spatially designed for improved flow in down, damp and tough harvesting conditions.

Rotor blade tip section

A main rotor blade includes a tip section having a splice cap, a structural tip spar, a core and an upper and lower tip skin. The tip section is mounted to a central blade section by mounting the tip spar to a main blade spar. The tip spar includes a first surface substantially parallel to a second surface. The first and second surfaces each extend from a shear web therebetween to define the generally C-shape in cross section. The shear web generally carries rotor blade torsional loads and eliminates the heretofore required structural core. A section of the tip spar overlaps a section of the main blade spar. The tip section thereby transfers the loads carried thereby through interaction between the overlapped spar sections. The tip section core and skins need not be structural members as the tip spar carries rotor blade tip section torsional loads.

Rotor blade for a wind power plant

The present invention concerns a rotor blade for a wind power plant having an aerodynamic profile comprising a rotor blade leading edge and a rotor blade trailing edge. The invention also concerns a rotor blade tip for a rotor blade having an aerodynamic profile with a pressure and a suction side, wherein the rotor blade tip is curved or angled in its end region in the direction of the pressure side of the rotor blade. In order further to reduce the levels of sound emission of wind power plants the rotor blade is curved or angled in its edge region in the direction of the trailing edge of the rotor blade in the plane of the rotor blade. In that respect the invention is based on the realization that, in the case of a rotor blade which does not go to a point at the tip, the effective rotor blade area is maintained unreduced precisely in the outer region in which the effect is greatest. The curve or angling of the end region of the rotor blade however provides that the trailing edge is displaced rearwardly in the end region of the rotor blade so that the flow at the rotor blade trailing edge is detached with a time delay in the outer region. Alternatively to attain the object of the invention a rotor blade can be developed in such a way that the ‘outer region’ narrows. That configuration of the rotor blade tip is based on the realization that the decreasing blade depth results in a reduced flow around the blade tip as the energy thereof is previously distributed to the trailing edge vortices but at the same time the effective rotor blade area is also reduced. The angling of the rotor blade tip provides that the effective rotor blade depth remains at its optimum as far as the angled rotor blade tip.

High-performance catalyst support

A catalyst support is formed of a monolith having corrugated metal leaves. The corrugations of each leaf are oblique relative to the edges of the leaf. Each leaf extends from an interior region to an exterior region, and has corrugations that are non-parallel to the corrugations in an adjacent leaf. Each leaf also includes slits, and is coated with a suitable catalyst. A set of monoliths, made as described above, are stacked within a cylindrical pipe. The corrugations define gas flow channels, which enable heat applied to the exterior of the pipe to travel to the center of the monolith, and back to the outside. The support of the present invention thus facilitates heat transfer to essentially all regions of the monolith. The invention also inherently overcomes the problem associated with thermal mismatch between the metal pipe and a ceramic catalyst material.
