20120224966 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE CONDITION OF ROTOR BLADES AT WIND TURBINES - Some examples relate to a system for monitoring the condition of rotor blades at wind turbines. A plurality of sensor nodes can be coupled to a rotor blade. A respective at least one sensor can be present at the individual sensor nodes for the spatially resolved detection of vibrations and/or acoustic waves of the rotor blade and the sensor nodes can be connected via optical fibers to a central supply and reception unit. A light source can be present at the central supply and reception unit and electromagnetic radiation can be conducted from it via an optical fiber to a photovoltaic converter with which the received electromagnetic radiation can be converted into electric energy. The electric energy can be utilized. | 09-06-2012 |
20120253697 | MODEL-BASED METHOD FOR MONITORING THE CONDITION OF ROTOR BLADES - The invention relates to a method for monitoring the condition of rotor blades for wind turbines. It is therefore the object of the invention to increase the accuracy of the monitoring of the condition of rotor blades of wind turbines and to allow a localization of faults or defects and their exact description. In the method in accordance with the invention, eigenvibrations of a rotor blade occurring globally at the rotor blade and locally guided elastic waves are permanently detected with time and spatial resolution using a sensor network and actuator network attached to the rotor blade or using a network arrangement of ultrasound transducers. In addition, elastic waves which are guided periodically at predefinable time intervals and which are respectively emitted by an actuator or ultrasound transducer and detected by sensors or ultrasound transducers are in so doing inspected for variations of the emitted waves. | 10-04-2012 |

20110286838 | TURBOCHARGER HAVING FASTENING ELEMENTS FOR FASTENING VANE BEARING RINGS OF A VARIABLE TURBINE GEOMETRY VTG - A turbocharger with a variable turbine geometry device has one or two blade bearing rings. At least one or more fastening elements are provided for fastening the one or two blade bearing rings. The respective fastening element has at least one section formed with a knurl and/or at least one section formed with at least one or several notches. | 11-24-2011 |
20130089418 | BEARING ARRANGEMENT FOR A SHAFT OF A TURBOCHARGER - A bearing arrangement for supporting a shaft in a turbocharger housing. The bearing arrangement includes a sleeve element and the sleeve element is formed with a flange section at each end for fastening the bearing arrangement in the turbocharger housing. | 04-11-2013 |
20150075312 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ORIENTING AN ACTUATOR OF AN EXHAUST-GAS TURBOCHARGER - A method and a device for orienting an actuator of an exhaust-gas turbocharger which has an actuator that is equipped with an actuator housing and is connected to a control rod. First, an actuator holder is fastened to the compressor housing of the exhaust-gas turbocharger. Then the actuator is inserted into the actuator holder. Then the actuator is positioned within the actuator holder. Then a compensating material is introduced through an injection opening into a compensating-material receiving space which is provided in the actuator holder. Finally, the compensating material is hardened. | 03-19-2015 |
