  • Patent number: 10689983
    Abstract: An impulse body module a turbine stage of a gas turbine includes a holder component of one-piece construction, with a base and surrounding side walls arranged at the base, wherein the side walls and the base define a holding chamber; an insert component, of one-piece construction, which is inserted into the holding chamber of the holder component, wherein the holder component and the insert component accommodated therein define a number of mutually separated cavities, and wherein an impulse body, in particular a sphere, is accommodated in each cavity; and a closure component of one-piece construction, which is joined to the holder component in a material-bonded manner where the holding chamber is closed and the insert component is surrounded by the holder component and the closure component. The holder component has at least one base projection in the region of its base, which extends away from the holding chamber.

  • Publication number: 20180347384
    Abstract: A sealing system (100) for a turbomachine is provided which includes a support (10) designed as a ring part, and a ring-like sealing plate (20, 30) that protrudes from the support in the axial direction (X). The support includes a fastening section (11) for fastening the sealing system to a stator part (200), and a retaining area (12), situated radially within the fastening section, for retaining a radial gap seal (40). The sealing plate (20, 30) is welded to the support (10) radially outside the retaining area (12). Also provided are a turbomachine that includes a sealing system (100), a support (10) for a sealing system, and a method for manufacturing a sealing system.
