Abstract: The invention relates to an impact flow for wall sections including a plurality of impact openings which are arranged on a plane in a flat or curved support. The support is fitted it a distance from the wall section, and the impact surface of the wall section that is to be cooled is configured as a bulged relief. The bulge elements are arranged around the impact surface of the impact beam. The surfaces of the bulge elements facing the impact beam include two curves which blend into one another.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for providing cooling channels in the interior of a gas turbine rotor blade. The cooling channels are formed by metallic inserts which extend from adjacent the root of the blade toward the tip. The inserts are substantially flat and are secured in the interior of the airfoil section by means of rails which engage the longitudinal edges of the inserts and serve as a guide during insertion. The rails are preferable formed integrally with the blade casting.

Abstract: In a gas-turbine guide element (30) around which a hot air flow (23) flows and which, at least in a trailing edge region (21), in which the air flow (23) separates from the guide element (30), comprises at least two walls (10, 11) arranged essentially in parallel and connected to one another by ribs (16, 17, 20) in such a way as to form internal cooling passages (18, 19, 25, 26, 27), and which is cooled on the inside with cooling medium (28, 29) flowing through the cooling passages (18, 19, 25, 26, 27), the cooling medium discharging from the guide element (30) at the trailing edge (21) essentially parallel to and between the walls (10, 11), and in a method of producing it, easier reworking and less susceptibility to foreign particles are achieved owing to the fact that at least some of the ribs are arranged as choke ribs (24) so as to terminate essentially flush with the trailing edge (21).
