  • Patent number: 10294818
    Abstract: A gas turbine having at least one inner and outer housing part, between which two housing parts a ring channel is at least partially arranged, which ring channel circumferentially surrounds the useful flow of the working fluid prevailing during operation of the gas turbine and circumferentially surrounds the gas turbine rotor. The ring channel is designed to conduct a cooling fluid in the circumferential direction, wherein the ring channel is divided into ring sectors in the circumferential direction by separators. A tube is at least partially provided in the ring channel which fluidically connects individual ring sectors to each other, and is designed as a distributing tube, which is fluidically connected to at least one cooling-fluid line for conducting cooling fluid and has at least one outlet opening, which at least one outlet opening is designed to transfer the cooling fluid from the tube into the ring sectors.

  • Publication number: 20110085904
    Abstract: A turbomachine housing having a parting line is provided. The turbomachine housing has a first housing part with a first parting line bead, which is implemented on the parting line, a second housing part with a second parting line bead which is implemented on the parting line, and a plurality of parting line clamps. The first parting line bead is enclosed together with the second parting line bead by the parting line clamps, so that the first housing part and the second housing part are held together by the parting line clamps using a positive connection on the parting line beads.

  • Patent number: 6988366
    Abstract: A gas turbine includes an annular combustion chamber and an outer wall of an annular combustion chamber. A straining ring is arranged on the outer wall of the annular combustion chamber and enables oscillations of the outer wall to be damped via friction. The effects of combustion oscillations produced by damaging vibrations of the annular combustion chamber are thus reduced. A method is further for damping an oscillation of an outer wall of an annular combustion chamber.
