Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An example method of reducing loads on a connection shaft includes disengaging a connection shaft from a motor-generator such that the connection shaft is not rotatably coupled to the motor-generator. The method communicates a fluid away from the motor-generator through a communication path established within the connection shaft. An example turbomachine connection shaft is configured to selectively rotatably couple a turbomachine rotor and a motor-generator. The connection shaft establishes a communication path that selectively vents the motor-generator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A turbomachine connection shaft assembly, comprising: a connection shaft that is configured to selectively rotatably couple a turbomachine rotor and a motor-generator, the connection shaft establishing a communication path that selectively vents a fluid from the motor-generator, the communication path established within the connection shaft. 2. The turbomachine connection shaft assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fluid moves from the communicati…
