Definitions

  • the subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to turbomachine enclosures and, more particularly, to a turbomachine enclosure canopy system.
  • Turbomachines are employed to power a wide range of machines. In many cases, turbomachines are employed to power generators that provide electrical power to a facility. Generally, the turbomachine and generator are arranged outside the facility in a separate enclosure. The enclosure is provided with an upper opening having a removable roof that facilitates repair and removal of the turbomachine.
  • the turbomachine When repair is necessary, the turbomachine is taken off line, disassembled, the removable roof is removed, and portions of the turbomachine are removed through the upper opening. In certain climates, it is not practical to leave the upper opening exposed to the environment. Rain, snow and other conditions may damage remaining portions of the turbomachine or lead to uncomfortable working conditions.
  • the roof is replaced or the upper opening is covered by a tarp.
  • a turbomachine enclosure canopy system includes a first rail member configured and disposed to be mounted to a first wall of the turbomachine enclosure, and a second rail member configured and disposed to be mounted to a second wall of the turbomachine enclosure.
  • a first fixed canopy support member is mounted to the first rail member, and a second fixed canopy support member is mounted to the second rail member.
  • a first sliding canopy support member is seated on the first rail member, and a second sliding canopy support member is seated on the second rail member.
  • An adjustable canopy support element is moveably secured between the first and second fixed canopy support members to form a fixed canopy support, and an adjustable canopy support member is moveably secured between the first and second sliding canopy support members to form a sliding canopy support.
  • a turbomachine enclosure includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall joining the first and second side walls at a first end, and a fourth side wall joining the first and second side walls at a second end to establish a turbomachine portion having an upper opening.
  • a turbomachine is arranged within the turbomachine portion, and a turbomachine enclosure canopy is positioned across the upper opening.
  • the turbomachine enclosure canopy system includes a first rail member mounted to the first wall, and a second rail member mounted to the second wall.
  • a first fixed canopy support member is mounted to the first rail member, and a second fixed canopy support member is mounted to the second rail member.
  • a first sliding canopy support member is seated on the first rail member, and a second sliding canopy support member is seated on the second rail member.
  • An adjustable canopy support element is moveably secured between the first and second fixed canopy support members to form a fixed canopy support, and an adjustable canopy support member is moveably secured between the first and second sliding canopy support members to form a sliding canopy support.
