Mechanical drivetrain for testing devices compressors and gas turbines in the original scale.

摘要

There is disclosed a mechanical drive train (100) for testing a compressor device (150) in the original scale. The drive train (100) may include an electric motor (120), a transmission (140) and a gas turbine (160). The compressor device (150) is connected to the drive train (100) between the gear (140) and the gas turbine (160). The drive train (100) may further include a torque converter (130) for transmitting torque from the electric motor (120) to the compressor device (150). The drive train (100) is configured to test a compressor device (150) in the original scale over the entire speed range and load operating range, allowing a full map creation of the compressor from the cold start to stall at full load, partial load (lowering) and partial speed conditions. The drive train (100) can also be used for testing a compressor device (150) or a gas turbine (160) over the full operating range for the compressor device (150) or the gas turbine (160), without the gas turbine (160) to the mains at the must be Stromerzeugungsort connected.
