Publication number: 20140353289Abstract: The invention relates to a method for closing an aperture on a blade of a gas turbine, wherein the blade of the gas turbine comprises a tip end with a top surface and a bottom surface. The aperture is formed on the tip end of the blade, and the aperture includes a peripheral edge. The method includes closing the aperture with a weld formed by means of a Tungsten Inert Gas(TIG) welding process without an insert placed in the aperture. With the technical solution of the present invention, it provides a simple and cost effective solution to close the aperture on the tip end of the blade, dispensing with the conventionally utilized “letter-box”, insert, tip cap and the like. In view of this, process of closing the aperture may be simplified, and the cost incurred may be reduced. Further, premature failure of the blade is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Ivan LUKETIC, Marcel KOENIG, Laura BOGDANIC

Patent number: 7147684Abstract: For preparing a gas stream cleaned from dust and dirt particles, a device is proposed in which an outflow channel (2) for cleaned medium has at its mouth in an inflow channel (1) an extension element (4), which projects into the inflow channel. A cover element (6) covers an end inflow aperture (4a) of the extension element. In an embodiment of the invention, the extension element (4) has lateral inlet apertures (5). The cover element (6) is preferably constituted hood-shaped, and has axial extension elements (6a), which at least partially cover the extension element (4) in the axial direction, and advantageously extend over the lateral inlet apertures. The stream entering the outflow channel (2) for cleaned medium must overcome strong flow deflections, so that particles with a low flow following ability cannot get into this channel. Further outflow channels (3) for conducting the remaining dust-laden medium are arranged substantially flush with the wall (7) of the inflow channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2004Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Alstom Technology Ltd.Inventors: Gordon Anderson, Marcel Koenig
