Magnus rotor

摘要

The present invention concerns a Magnus rotor comprising a carrier arranged in the interior of the Magnus rotor, a rotor which in operation of the Magnus rotor rotates about the carrier, a bearing which carries the rotor on the carrier and a heating device provided for producing heated air in the interior of the carrier. The carrier has at least one opening at its outside, which connects the internal space in the carrier to the intermediate space between the carrier and the rotor in such a way that air can pass through between those two spaces.

主权项

1. A ship comprising:
a Magnus rotor secured to a surface of the ship, the Magnus rotor including:
a rotor body;a carrier located inside the rotor body, the carrier having a surface with a plurality of openings that allows air to pass from an internal space of the carrier toward an intermediate space between the carrier and the rotor body;a connecting element coupled to the rotor body, the connecting element having at least one opening that allows air received from the internal space of the carrier to pass to the intermediate space;a bearing that rotatably couples the rotor to the carrier by the connecting element; anda heating device located in the internal space of the carrier for heating air, the heating device having a plurality of tubes, the heating device causing air heated by the heating device to flow through the plurality of tubes, through the plurality of openings in the carrier, and through the at least one opening of the connecting element to the intermediate space.
