Turbo gearbox - gearbox operating in the mode of high-speed (frequency) load. The average frequency range of rotation of the shaft-gear turbo-reducer 15-80 thousand rev / min. The load range is 30–90 MW. High loads place special demands on the material and determine the design features of the turbo gear units.
Design Features
- Materials - high strength alloy steels.
- Bearings - various types of bearings or (in special cases) others that can withstand high loads.
Application areas
Mainly installations for compression of gas and gas mixtures, as well as work in a generator mode on compressed gases and mixtures in aviation and space technology, compressors, during transportation of gases, in generators, test benches, etc.
