  • Patent number: 6540478
    Abstract: A blade row arrangement for turbo-engines has an axial construction with two guide blade rows fixedly positioned relative to one another and having a different number of blades while the blade pitch is constant in each case, and having a moving blade row arranged between the two guide blade rows. The blades of the first guide blade row, in a first partial area of the row, successively have an identical axial offset; the axial offset being selected as a function of the blade number ratio of the two guide blade rows such that it increases the effective flow-off cross-section when the first guide blade row has more guide blades than the second guide blade row and reduces the effective flow-off cross-section when the first guide blade row has less guide blades than the second guide blade row. The blades of the first guide blade row, in a second partial area of the row, successively have an axial offset which is opposite in relation to the blades in the first partial area.
