Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a shaft-hub connection (1), particularly for mounting a rotor wheel on a shaft (10). The shaft-hub connection (1) comprises a shaft (10), a hub (20) and a filler material (30). The shaft (10) comprises an end section (11) on one end. A receiving region (21) is arranged in the hub (20). The end section (11) is arranged in the receiving region (21), with an intermediate layer of the filler material (30) positioned inbetween. The filler material (30) forms undercuts in the axial and rotational direction, in relation to the end section (11) and in relation to the receiving region (21), so as to create a positive embodiment of the shaft-hub connnection (1).

The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the positioning region ( 21 a ) is arranged to surround the positioning portion ( 11 a ) externally. 3. The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that at least one undercut surface ( 21 a 3 ) is formed on the positioning region ( 21 a ), wherein the filler material ( 30 ) engages the at least one undercut surface ( 21 a 3 ) to prevent axial movement of the shaft ( 10 ) relative to the hub ( 20 ). 4. The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 3 , characterized in that the end portion ( 11 ) has a connecting portion ( 11 b ) adjacent to the positioning portion ( 11 a ) and a displacement portion ( 11 c ) adjoining said connecting portion, wherein at least one undercut surface ( 11 c 3 ) is formed on the displacement portion ( 11 c ), wherein the filler material ( 30 ) engages the at least one axial surface ( 11 c 3 ) to prevent axial movement of the shaft ( 10 ) relative to the hub ( 20 ). 5. The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that an end face ( 22 ) formed on the hub ( 20 ) cooperates with a shoulder ( 12 ) formed on the shaft ( 10 ) in the axial direction of the shaft ( 10 ). 6. The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the filler material ( 30 ) consists of a casting compound. 7. A turbine ( 62 , 75 , 89 , 91 ) having a rotor wheel ( 20 ) arranged on a shaft ( 10 ) by a shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 . 8. A waste heat recovery system ( 100 ) having a circuit ( 100 a ) guiding a working medium, wherein the circuit ( 100 a ) comprises a pump ( 102 ), an evaporator ( 103 ), a bypass valve ( 1 ), an expansion machine ( 104 ) and a condenser ( 105 ) in the flow direction of the working medium, wherein the expansion machine ( 104 ) is formed as the turbine as claimed in claim 7 . 9. A heat pump ( 70 ) having a condenser ( 71 ), an evaporator ( 72 ) and the turbine ( 75 ) as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rotor wheel ( 20 ) acts as a compressor between the evaporator and the condenser. 10. A micro gas turbine ( 80 ) having a turbine ( 89 ) as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rotor wheel ( 20 ) acts as compressor for a turbine impeller of the micro gas turbine. 11. A micro gas turbine ( 90 ) having a turbine ( 91 ) as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rotor wheel acts as a turbine impeller of the micro gas turbine ( 90 ). 12. An internal combustion engine ( 61 ) having a turbine as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rotor wheel ( 20 ) acts as an auxiliary compressor for compressing the combustion air ( 65 ) supplied to the internal combustion engine ( 61 ). 13.
