Transport system for a power generation unit

Abstract

A trailer mounts a turbine and a generator for transport to a power generation site. The mount for the turbine includes a sub-base mounted for pivotal movement adjacent a rear end thereof proximate the forward end of the generator. The forward end of the sub-base is secured to the trailer by an isolator mount. The two mounts constitute a 3-point mounting system for the sub-base and turbine carried thereby whereby during transport, the sub-base and turbine are enabled for limited angular deflection of the turbine axis relative to the generator rotor axis. The pivotal mounting adjacent the interconnection between the turbine and generator rotors lies along discrete opposite sides of the trailer. Torque is transmitted from the turbine to the generator base through the pivotal mountings. At the power generation site, the sub-base is locked down and minimal adjustment is required to align the turbine and generator rotors.
