Abstract: A wall structure is provided with noise damping insulation properties, for an air intake manifold of a gas turbine. The wall structure includes a first structure for mechanically supporting an outer sheet, which separates the spaces on both sides of the wall in an airtight manner, and further includes a second structure for establishing noise damping insulation between the spaces on both sides of the wall. The second structure is secured to the first structure. A gas turbine including the wall structure is also provided.

Abstract: A gas duct for a gas turbine through which exhaust gases from the gas turbine are discharged to an outside includes a concentric inner casing and an outer casing disposed at a distance from the inner casing and concentrically encompassing the inner casing. A plurality of radial support struts interconnect the inner casing and the outer casing. Each of the support struts, the inner casing and the outer casing each have a heat-resistant lining disposed so as to provide protection against heat from the exhaust gases. The heat-resistant the linings of each of the support struts, the inner casing and the outer casing are divided in each case into a plurality of separate segments that are fastened to a support structure in an arrangement that provides an individual entirely or almost stress-free thermal expansion of each of the plurality of separate segments in an expansion plane.

Abstract: A casing body for a hot gas flow includes an outer casing body having a hot gas side with a precisely prepared locating surface. A pin-type retainer is disposed on the locating surface, and an inner heat shield is disposed at a distance from the hot gas side of the outer casing body and fastened to the retainer.

Abstract: A method is provided for adjusting the position of a rotor of a turbine. The turbine includes a first casing and a second casing. The second casing, in a bearing region of the rotor, has a fixed relative position, with regard to a rotor end, and is screwed to the first casing via a threaded connection. The method includes releasing the threaded connection; adjusting the relative position of the rotor to the first casing, which encloses the rotor in the flow region, by the relative position of the second casing to the first casing being adjusted; and refastening the threaded connection. Furthermore, a gas turbine or a steam turbine with such a device for adjusting the relative position of rotor and casing is also described.

Abstract: A gas turbine arrangement includes a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine connected to one another. A casing housing the compressor has flanges connectable to pipes providing secondary air to at least one of the combustion chamber and the turbine. The flanges define passages having an asymmetric cross section. A method for retrofitting a gas turbine arrangement is also provided.

Abstract: The disclosure refers to a method and apparatus for checking the bearing alignment of a rotor of a gas turbine or steam turbine having a rotor with a radial offset and a radial offset surface and in a bearing shell, which supports the rotor, with a radial, at least in sections, end surface, wherein the radial offset surface and the radial end surface face the free end of the rotor. The radial offset is arranged in the bearing shell and offset towards the free end of the rotor. The degree of offset in the axial direction with regard to the rotor is measured at least two different circumferential positions around the rotor periphery in order to determine the alignment of the rotor. Differences in the degree of offset at different circumferential positions are used as measurement for the bearing alignment.
