Abstract: A flow machine with a rotor-side shaft includes: a stator-side housing in which the rotor-side shaft is mounted; a seal bushing configured to seal a gap between the stator-side housing and the rotor-side shaft; a retaining bolt configured to center the seal bushing at the stator-side housing in a heat-resilient manner; and a clamp configured to fix the seal bushing in a positively engaging manner at the stator-side housing while ensuring a radial displaceability of the seal bushing relative to the stator-side housing.

Abstract: A device for sealing between the guide vanes (1) and the rotor (17) of turbomachines, especially gas turbines has inner rings (3) suspended on the vane footing (14) of the guide vanes (1) in a thermally elastic manner with soldered honeycomb seal (4) and labyrinth tips (5) arranged on the rotor (17). First flow channels, which are connected to the cavities (21) of the cooled guide vanes (1), through which said cavities cooling air flows, are led through the vane footings (14). The first flow channels are connected to at least one of second flow channels led through the inner ring (3) to the vicinity of the honeycomb seal (4). The second flow channels open into at least one of third flow channels that are open at the rear edge of the inner ring (3) or are led to an annular groove (10) open toward the honeycomb seal (4) on the underside of the inner ring (3).

Abstract: A symmetrical component of a turbine unit, whose wall is exposed to a hot medium on one side and is subject to nonuniform thermal stress over the circumference, is cooled by a flow of cooling air being guided along the other side of the component. A ring (5) is provided with slots (7) or other openings for the passage of the cooling air. The ring (5) protrudes into the flow of the cooling air. The overall cross section of the slots (7) that are arranged in the sections of the ring (5) that are adjacent to the areas of the component that are subject to the higher stress is larger than the overall cross section of the slots (7) that are arranged in the sections of the ring (5) that are adjacent to the areas of the component that are subject to a lower stress.

Abstract: The removal of cooling air from the diffuser part of a radial end stage of a compressor of a gas turbine is provided. Compressed air is removed via a cooling air discharge (10) from a radial compressor stage, which comprises a rotor disk (2) and a bladed diffuser (20). The removal of cooling air may be brought about such that the cooling air is removed on one side through openings (6) on the housing side (20.1) of the diffuser (20) and is fed through cooling air channels (10) to the parts in contact with hot gas, including the outer wall of the bifurcated tube (17). The compressed air is guided to the diffuser outside (20.2) through cooling air holes (19) in the diffuser blade (3).
