Modular Skid Base

View page
US Patent:
20130106113, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Nov 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/666288
Inventors:
Brian D. TJENSTROM - Victoria MN, US
Gregory P. PETERSON - Maple Grove MN, US
Steve N. SEIDLITZ - Sunfish Lake MN, US
Gary SANDLASS - Maple Plain MN, US
Assignee:
CUMMINS POWER GENERATION, INC. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
F16M 5/00
F16M 7/00
US Classification:
290 1 A, 248639, 29428
Abstract:
A modular skid base is provided for supporting, for example, a power generation system that includes a prime mover (e.g., an engine) and a driven machine (e.g., an alternator; a generator; a compressor; a pump; a gear drive for, for example, heavy industrial applications; or any other type of load device). The modular skid base includes a pair of first support skid rails and a pair of second support skid rails. The modular skid base also includes an overlapping section that includes a portion of the second support skid rails overlapping a portion of the first support skid rails along a length direction of the modular skid base. The overlapping section can provide stiffness where required without adding height and mass to the entire modular skid base.

Generator Set Mount

US Patent:
20130106114, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Nov 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/666460
Inventors:
Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc. - Minneapolis MN, US
Brian D. Tjenstrom - Victoria MN, US
Gregory P. Peterson - Maple Grove MN, US
Steve N. Seidlitz - Sunfish Lake MN, US
Gary Sandlass - Maple Plain MN, US
Jeffrey G. Anderson - Anoka MN, US
Szekwan Cheah - Saint Paul MN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
F16F 15/04
F02B 63/04
F16M 5/00
US Classification:
290 1 A, 248638, 295921, 123195 R
Abstract:
A system and apparatus for a slip joint mount is disclosed to accommodate thermal expansion of a generator set on a base. One embodiment includes an electric generator driven by a prime mover and an equipment mount coupled to the prime mover. A base includes a mounting aperture and means for retaining the equipment mount to the mounting aperture. Also disclosed is means for allowing for movement of the equipment mount with respect to the mounting aperture due to thermal expansion of a portion of the prime mover.

Scavenge Oil System

View page
US Patent:
47566647, Jul 12, 1988
Filed:
Feb 24, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/017977
Inventors:
Mordehy Cohen - Rockford IL
James L. Bettenga - Rockford IL
Brian Tjenstrom - Rockford IL
Assignee:
Sundstrand Corporation - Rockford IL
International Classification:
F01D 2520
US Classification:
415175
Abstract:
The scavenge oil system disclosing the invention has a scavenge oil outlet located at the bottom of a blower housing whereby lubricating oil can flow thereto by gravity in most attitudinal positions of the housing. When the blower housing is in an attitude that a portion thereof, such as the rear, is at a level lower than the scavenge oil outlet, a scavenge pump, having an impeller driven by the blower shaft, is rendered effectively operable by having an inlet beneath the level of oil at the rear of the housing and the scavenge pump pumps the oil to a higher level whereby it may flow from the housing by gravity through either the scavenge oil outlet of the housing or through other passages. The scavenge oil system utilizes passages for oil flow formed as cored passages in the wall of the blower housing to minimize cost and weight addition to the blower and minimizes the power demands on the blower drive, since the scavenge pump will run dry in most attitudes of the blower and will only require power when effectively operating to pump oil to a higher level.
