  • Publication number: 20170204732
    Abstract: Wheel disc arrangement has a wheel disc, a plurality of blade devices fastened along the outer circumference, and a plurality of sealing plates held in two radially spaced-apart annular grooves. The first annular groove is bounded axially outwards by an annular projection. The second annular groove is defined by a plurality of adjacently arranged annular groove segments in the individual blade devices. The first annular groove is of undercut design and has at least two axially opposite and protruding holding projections with a respective bearing surface. The sealing plates have, in the inside diameter, two supporting projections corresponding to the holding projections, axially opposite and face away from one another, with a supporting surface. The arrangement is configured such that the supporting surfaces of the sealing plates are supported against the bearing surfaces of the holding projections under the effect of a centrifugal force.

  • Publication number: 20170191371
    Abstract: A wheel disc with at least one sealing metal sheet, which is fixed to the wheel disc in a movable manner in the circumferential direction of the wheel disc, and with at least one securing device, which is designed to secure the at least one sealing metal sheet against a displacement in the circumferential direction of the wheel disc in the correctly assembled state. The securing device has a screw, which is screwed to the sealing metal sheet and which extends through the sealing metal sheet, and a depression, which is provided on the wheel disc and which receives the free end of the screw in the correctly assembled state and the wall of which restricts a movement of the screw in the circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20170037736
    Abstract: A wheel disk assembly, having a wheel disk, a plurality of blade devices, which are fastened along the outer circumference of the wheel disk, and a plurality of sealing plates, which are retained in two annular grooves radially spaced apart from each other, the first annular groove in the wheel disk and bounded axially outward by an annular projection, and the second annular groove defined by a plurality of annular-groove segments arranged adjacently, which are in the individual blade devices. At least one opening extends axially through the annular projection, the minimum width of which opening in the circumferential direction is greater than the width of the sealing plates at the inside diameter such that a sealing plate is axially insertable between the annular grooves through the opening and moveable in the circumferential direction while guided by the annular grooves. A method assembles such a wheel disk assembly.

  • Publication number: 20160201495
    Abstract: A gas turbine includes a turbine having a rotor blade row and a ring that is arranged around the rotor blade row and is made up of multiple ring segments. An insert element covers a recess of a ring segment body of the turbine. The ring segment body has a recess on a hot-gas side. The insert element has a concavely shaped front face and a rear face with a rear face profile, and the rear face profile corresponds to a negative shape of a profile of the recess. A mounting method includes an insert element fixed to a recess of a ring segment body of a turbine of a gas turbine.

  • Publication number: 20160201496
    Abstract: A gas turbine includes an insert element for fastening to a ring segment body of a turbine of the gas turbine. The ring segment body has a recess on a hot gas side. The insert element is designed to cover the recess. The insert element includes a cover plate, which has a concavely shaped front side and a back side, and at least one foot arranged on the back side for positioning on the ring segment body. A mounting method includes mounting the insert element where the insert element is fixed to a recess of a ring segment body of a turbine of a gas turbine.

  • Publication number: 20160201497
    Abstract: An insert element fastens to an annular segment body of a turbine of a gas turbine. The annular segment body has a recess on a hot-gas side. The insert element is designed to cover the recess and has a concave front side and a rear side having at least one shaped portion for positioning on the annular segment body. An annular segment has the insert element, a gas turbine has the insert element, and a mounting method mounts the insert element.

  • Publication number: 20160130948
    Abstract: A rotor for a turbine has a plurality of rotor components lined up in the axial direction and connected by a connecting rod, wherein a groove which extends in the circumferential direction and is open in the axial direction is disposed on one of the rotor components, wherein a coupling element running around the connecting rod in order to support the connecting rod is disposed in the groove. The rotor is adapted to enable particularly stable support of the connecting rod in order to prevent vibrations. The coupling element is disposed on a retaining element connected to the connecting rod.
