System and method for cooling a superconducting rotary machine

Patent Ackermann, Robert Adolf [Schenectady, NY]; Laskaris, Evangelos Trifon [Schenectady, NY]; Huang, Xianrui [Clifton Park, NY]; ...

A system for cooling a superconducting rotary machine includes a plurality of sealed siphon tubes disposed in balanced locations around a rotor adjacent to a superconducting coil. Each of the sealed siphon tubes includes a tubular body and a heat transfer medium disposed in the tubular body that undergoes a phase change during operation of the machine to extract heat from the superconducting coil. A siphon heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the siphon tubes for extracting heat from the siphon tubes during operation of the machine.

Retention system and method for the blades of a rotary machine

Patent Pedersen, Poul D [Cincinnati, OH]; Glynn, Christopher C [Hamilton, OH]; Walker, Roger C [Piedmont, SC]

A retention system and method for the blades of a rotary machine for preventing forward or aft axial movement of the rotor blades includes a circumferential hub slot formed about a circumference of the machine hub. The rotor blades have machined therein a blade retention slot which is aligned with the circumferential hub slot when the blades are received in correspondingly shaped openings in the hub. At least one ring segment is secured in the blade retention slots and the circumferential hub slot to retain the blades from axial movement. A key assembly is used to secure the ring segmentsmore » « less
