Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3477066A1] Installation apparatuses for installing load-couplings in turbine systems are disclosed. The installation apparatuses may include a plurality of rails extending axially through a portion of a diffuser of the turbine system. Each of the plurality of rails may include a first distal end positioned within and releasably coupled to the diffuser, and a second distal end positioned opposite the first distal end. The installation apparatuses may also include at least one trolley positioned on the plurality of rails. The trolley(s) may include a plurality of wheel housings. Each wheel housing may include at least one wheel slidably engaging a corresponding rail of the plurality of rails. The trolley(s) of the installation apparatuses may also include a cradle component positioned within each of the plurality of wheel housings. The cradle component may receive the load-coupling of the turbine system. A corresponding method of installing a load-coupling in a turbine system using such an installation apparatus is also provided.
