Latest Patents
Lloyd's latest patents include "Advanced firtree and broach slot forms for turbine stage 3 buckets and rotor wheels." This invention reduces the number of buckets in the third stage of the turbine from ninety-two to ninety while minimizing stresses at the assembly points of the buckets and wheelposts. The design features complementary fillets and tangs that facilitate the insertion of the bucket into the broach slot between two wheelposts. The angles of the fillets on both the bucket and wheelpost range from 50° to 59°. Additionally, the upper surface of the wheelpost is scalloped to reduce weight, and the tangs and fillets are designed with both curved and straight surfaces to alleviate stresses on the assembly.
Another notable patent is "Advanced firtree and broach slot forms for turbine stage 1 and 2 buckets and rotor wheels." This innovation reduces the number of buckets in at least one of the stages of the turbine from ninety-two to sixty, also reducing stresses at the assembly points. Similar to his other patent, this design incorporates complementary fillets and tangs for bucket insertion into the broach slot. The angles of the tang surfaces on both the bucket and wheelpost range from 50° to 57°, and the upper surface of the wheelpost is scalloped to decrease weight.
