  • Patent number: 11009131
    Abstract: Provided is a combustor of a gas turbine including a combustion liner where combustion occurs, a transition piece connected to the combustion liner to allow combustion gases to pass through, and a honeycomb seal ring disposed between the combustion liner and the transition piece to prevent compressed air from leaking through a gap between the combustion liner and the transition piece. The honeycomb seal ring is inserted into the exit portion of the combustion liner to prevent compressed air from leaking when the combustion liner and the transition piece are coupled with each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10941672
    Abstract: Provided is a stationary nozzle assembly of a gas turbine including a plurality of vane segments converting hot gas energy into a kinetic form, a fixed seal disposed between two adjacent vane segments, and honeycomb seal elements disposed between the two adjacent vane segments to prevent hot gases from escaping through a gap between the two adjacent vane segments. Here, the fixed seal and the honeycomb seal elements face each other. In addition, the vane segments each include airfoil shaped vanes, an outer wall and an inner wall that are disposed at opposite sides of the airfoil shaped vanes, and the fixed seal and the honeycomb seal elements are installed in at least one of the outer wall or the inner wall.

  • Patent number: 10934855
    Abstract: Provided is a turbine blade of a gas turbine including a turbine blade part having an airfoil shape including an internal cavity therein, a cast tip disposed at an upper portion of the turbine blade part, and a braze joint to attach the turbine blade part and the cast tip to each other. The turbine blade part and the cast tip has substantially the same cross-sectional shape in a top plan view. In addition, the turbine blade part further includes a protrusion disposed at a surface where the turbine blade part is attached to the cast tip. In a similar manner, the cast tip may have a concave portion at a surface where the cast tip is attached to the turbine blade part to allow the concave portion to be coupled to the protrusion of the turbine blade part.
