  • Patent number: 8182210
    Abstract: A gas turbine includes a turbine housing; a rotatable turbine rotor with turbine blades; and at least one heat shield segment for a stator. The heat shield segment is disposed radially between the rotor and the housing and attached to the housing and has a profile with a curved section in at least one region in an axial direction of the gas turbine and a radial outer surface. The heat shield segment includes a rib, a first boss, and a second boss disposed on the radial outer surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8152454
    Abstract: A guide vane for a gas turbine includes a vane body having a leading edge and a trailing edge and a shroud extending at least between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The shroud has a first side wall and a second side wall extending essentially radially and in a longitudinal direction of the gas turbine. The first side wall has a groove disposed in a region of the trailing edge extending in a longitudinal direction of the shroud and is configured to receive a sealing plate. The first side wall also has a clearance extending from the groove in a region of the trailing edge, wherein a depth of the clearance in a circumferential direction of the gas turbine is equal to a depth of the groove, and wherein a width of the clearance in the longitudinal direction of the shroud is between one to three times the depth of the clearance.
