Abstract

The invention relates to a shaft-hub connection ( 1 ), particularly for mounting a rotor wheel on a shaft ( 10 ). The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) comprises a shaft ( 10 ), a hub ( 20 ) and a filler material ( 30 ). The shaft ( 10 ) comprises an end section ( 11 ) on one end. A receiving region ( 21 ) is arranged in the hub ( 20 ). The end section ( 11 ) is arranged in the receiving region ( 21 ), with an intermediate layer of the filler material ( 30 ) positioned inbetween. The filler material ( 30 ) forms undercuts in the axial and rotational direction, in relation to the end section ( 11 ) and in relation to the receiving region ( 21 ), so as to create a positive embodiment of the shaft-hub connnection ( 1 ).

5. The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that an end face ( 22 ) formed on the hub ( 20 ) cooperates with a shoulder ( 12 ) formed on the shaft ( 10 ) in the axial direction of the shaft ( 10 ).

6. The shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the filler material ( 30 ) consists of a casting compound.

7. A turbine ( 62 , 75 , 89 , 91 ) having a rotor wheel ( 20 ) arranged on a shaft ( 10 ) by a shaft-hub connection ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 .

8. A waste heat recovery system ( 100 ) having a circuit ( 100 a ) guiding a working medium, wherein the circuit ( 100 a ) comprises a pump ( 102 ), an evaporator ( 103 ), a bypass valve ( 1 ), an expansion machine ( 104 ) and a condenser ( 105 ) in the flow direction of the working medium, wherein the expansion machine ( 104 ) is formed as the turbine as claimed in claim 7 .

9. A heat pump ( 70 ) having a condenser ( 71 ), an evaporator ( 72 ) and the turbine ( 75 ) as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rotor wheel ( 20 ) acts as a compressor between the evaporator and the condenser.
