Abstract
A crane system having a gas turbine that has a manhole on the outer housing thereof, the manhole being designed to open up a maintenance access to hot gas parts of the gas turbine in the open state of the manhole, which is provided with a fastening section; the crane system further has a hoisting mechanism that includes a mating fastening section which is connected to the fastening section of the manhole in such a way that the hoisting mechanism introduces weights that same has to lift into the outer housing of the gas turbine.
Claims11
A crane system comprising:
- a combustion gas turbine comprising
- an outer housing,
- a plurality of burner openings in the outer housing, and
- a manhole on the outer housing, the manhole comprising a fastening section;
- and
- a lifting mechanism comprising
- a mating fastening section,
- a pillar, and
- at least one boom arm,
- wherein the mating fastening section of the lifting mechanism is configured to be connected to the fastening section of the manhole,
- wherein, when the mating fastening section of the lifting mechanism is connected to the fastening section of the manhole, the lifting mechanism introduces weight forces onto the outer housing of the combustion gas turbine such that the weight forces are distributed onto the outer housing of the combustion gas turbine, and
- wherein, when the mating fastening section of the lifting mechanism is connected to the fastening section of the manhole, the at least one boom arm is positionable above the plurality of burner openings in the outer housing.
