Abstract

A transmission turbo machine integrates drive units and/or driven units into a machine train via a transmission. The integrated transmission substantially comprises a central large wheel with a shaft and a plurality of pinions with pinion shafts. The large wheel is operatively connected to the pinions, and the ends of the pinion shafts are operatively connected to a drive unit and/or driven unit. The shaft of the large wheel is operatively connected to a drive unit and/or driven unit. The invention is characterized in that the drive unit and/or driven unit is an axial expander which is mounted in a cantilevering manner in one or more stages.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) which integrates drive units and/or driven units (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , A 7 ) into a machine train via a transmission ( 2 ), the transmission ( 2 ) comprising:
a central large wheel ( 9 ) with a shaft ( 13 );
a plurality of pinions ( 10 , 14 , 15 ) with pinion shafts ( 11 , 16 , 17 ); and
a transmission housing ( 7 ) in which the central large wheel ( 9 ) and the plurality of pinions ( 10 , 14 , 15 ) are arranged,
wherein the central large wheel ( 9 ) is operatively connected to the pinions ( 10 , 14 , 15 ), and each of the pinion shafts ( 11 , 16 , 17 ) has an end operatively connected to a respective drive unit and/or driven unit (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 ), the shaft ( 13 ) of the central large wheel ( 9 ) being operatively connected to a drive unit and/or driven unit (A 7 ), wherein at least one of the drive units and/or driven units (A 1 ) is an axial expander mounted in a cantilevering manner in one or more stages.

2. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the axial expander (A 1 ) has a housing ( 20 ) that is flanged to the transmission housing ( 7 ) such that a flow inlet area ( 21 ) of the axial expander (A 1 ) directly adjoins the transmission housing ( 7 ), and a transitional area ( 22 ) between the axial expander (A 1 ) and the transmission ( 2 ) is cooled by a coolant.

3. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 2 , wherein the housing ( 20 ) of the axial expander (A 1 ) and/or the transmission housing ( 7 ) have/has ducts ( 23 ) for the coolant.

4. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the housing ( 20 ) of the axial expander (A 1 ) is flanged to the transmission housing ( 7 ) by an intermediate wall ( 24 ), and the intermediate wall ( 24 ) contains ducts ( 23 ) for the coolant.

5. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising a drive pinion ( 8 ) having a driveshaft ( 6 ) the drive pinion ( 8 ) being arranged in the transmission between the central large wheel ( 9 ) and one of the pinions ( 10 , 14 , 15 ), the drive pinion ( 8 ) being operatively connected to the central large wheel ( 9 ) and to the one of the pinions ( 10 , 14 , 15 ), and wherein the drive pinion ( 8 ) is operatively connected to a drive unit (A 6 ).

6. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated transmission ( 2 ) and the drive units or driven units (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , A 6 , A 7 ) are fastened to a common machine foundation ( 4 ).

7. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the driven units (A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 ) arranged at the pinion shafts ( 16 , 17 ) are impellers of compressor stages (II, III, IV, V).

8. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 5 , wherein the drive unit (A 6 ) operatively connected to the drive pinion ( 8 ) is a turbo engine, an electric drive engine or a combustion drive engine.

9. The transmission turbo machine ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the drive unit (A 7 ) which is operatively connected to the shaft ( 13 ) of the central large wheel ( 9 ).
