  • Patent number: 10047626
    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: 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.

  • Patent number: 8251665
    Abstract: A turbine blade is presented including a vane that runs along a blade axis and a platform region, which is located at the root of the vane and has a platform that extends transversally to the blade axis. An improved cooling of a platform region and the transition region is provided from a turbine blade to a platform of a turbine blade. The platform includes a first platform wall that does not support the vane and a second platform wall that supports the vane. At the root of the vane and over the course of the transition region from the turbine blade to the platform, the first platform wall is aerodynamically curved and the course of the second platform wall has a receding shoulder in relation to the first platform wall, as a continuation of the vane.

  • Patent number: 7963746
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine blade comprising a vane that runs along a blade axis and a platform region, located at the root of the vane having a platform that extends transversally to the blade axis. The aim of the invention is to configure a delimitation of a flow channel of a gas turbine in the simplest possible manner. Therefore, the platform is configured by an elastic sheet metal part that rests on the vane. Said part leads to a gas turbine comprising a flow conduit that runs along an axis of the gas turbine, said conduit having an annular cross-section for a working medium and a second vane stage that is situated downstream of a first vane stage, which runs along the axis.

  • Patent number: 7766616
    Abstract: There is described a turbine blade of a gas turbine comprising a suction-side blade wall and a pressure-side blade wall that, in the trailing edge area, runs toward the suction-side blade wall. This suction-side blade wall has a trailing edge projection projecting over the end edge of the pressure-side blade wall at least in a partial section of the trailing edge area. A turbine blade of the aforementioned type is designed for a particularly long serviceable life while requiring little cooling air. To this end, the pressure-side surface of the trailing edge projection has a number of trough-shaped recesses that increase the transfer of heat from the trailing edge projection by a local swirling of the cooling air.

  • Patent number: 6739381
    Abstract: In a method of producing a turbine blade in hollow section, an especially low defect or scrap rate is to be ensured. To this end, a first core element is connected via a number of approximately cylindrical spacers to a further core element and/or to a casting mold, the cavities left in the casting mold by the core elements being filled by blade material, and the openings remaining in the turbine blade after the removal of the core elements and the spacers and produced by the spacers being closed by stopper elements.

  • Publication number: 20020157250
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbine blade, in particular for a gas turbine, having an airfoil profile and at least one platform for fastening to a primary component. According to the invention, each platform encloses an obtuse angle with a longitudinal axis of the airfoil profile. The design of the turbine blade as a single crystal is facilitated by this construction.
