Abstract: A cast turbine blade is disclosed and includes an internal cooling passage that passes (e.g., zig-zags or meanders) through the blade from an inlet in the blade root to an outlet in the blade tip. The cooling passage can have a zone at a bend that is at a distance which is remote from the inlet of the cooling passage when the distance from the inlet is measured around the passage, but that is closer to the inlet when the distance from the inlet is measured in a straight line. During casting of the blade, the cooling passage can be defined by a core or cores having a leachable material, the cores being removed after casting by a chemical leaching process. A supplementary passage is also provided for connecting the remote zone to the inlet during the leaching process. The supplementary passage can likewise be defined by a leachable core, or it may be machined into the blade after casting.

Abstract: A stator heat shield (6) for a gas turbine (1) includes an outside (11) which in the installed state faces a hot gas path (9) of the gas turbine (1), and an inside (12) facing away from the outside (11).

At least one baffle plate (14) is arranged on the inside (12) and is in contact with the ribs (13). At least one groove (16) is designed in an end face (15) bordering the stator heat shield (6) in the circumferential direction, into which at least one sealing element (18) can be inserted. A plurality of bores (19) are included, each opening at a distance from the groove (16) in the direction of the outside (11) at the inside (12) at one end and on the end face (15) at the other end and arranged a distance apart from one another in the axial direction.

Abstract: A heat accumulation segment for local separation of a flow duct inside a turbo engine, from a stator housing that radially surrounds the flow duct is provided. The heat accumulation segment includes two axially opposed joining contoured elements that are engagable with two components that are axially adjacent along the flow duct. A first one of the two joining contoured elements has a radially oriented recess with a contoured surface against which a securing pin having an external contour complementary to the contoured surface acts radially under force action from a component that adjoins the first joining contoured element. The first joining contoured element has a collar portion having radially upper and lower collar surfaces, and the collar portion is connected within a counter-contoured receiving contoured element in the axially adjacent component by a joining force that acts between the securing pin and the conical contoured surface.

Abstract: A heat shield arrangement for local separation of a flow channel within a turbine engine, with respect to a stator housing radially surrounding the flow channel is provided. The heat shield includes two axially opposite joining contours which are each engageable with two components which are axially adjacent along the flow channel. Each provides a complementary reception contour for the joining contours. At least one of the reception contours has an axial clearance, in which the associated joining contour is axially displaceably mounted. At least one seal is provided between the axially displaceable joining contour and the reception contour. The seal is mounted movably within the reception contour or the joining contour in such a way that the seal is deflectable against a surface region of the reception contour or of the joining contour.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gap seal (6)for sealing a gap (3) between two adjacent components (1,2), in particular in turbo machines. A sealing body (7) has a band (18) with a cross-section that is bent in such a way that two contact zones (8) formed on it abut with a preloan against two facing sealing surfaces (9) of components (1,2). The contact zones (8) are able to deflect resiliently when the distance between the sealing surfaces (9) is reduced. A support zone (11) formed between the contact zones (8) is supported on a step (10) vertically to the spring movement. The step (10) is formed on one of the components (2) and projects from its sealing surface (9) towards the sealing surface (9) of the other component (1).
