Patent number: 8267659Abstract: A turbine blade is provided. The turbine blade includes a support structure and a shell which surrounds the support structure and which is connected to and at a distance from the support structure by at least one spacing element. For example the spacing element can be a solder globule in order to form a space through which a cooling medium can flow between the support structure and the shell. A method for the production of a turbine blade having a support structure and a shell which surrounds the support structure and which is connected to and at a distance from the support structure is also provided. The shell is soldered to the support structure in at least at one place of the support structure in order to connect the shell to and at a distance from the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Fathi Ahmad, Scarlett Fajardo-Reina, Markus Gill, Stefan Werner Kiliani, Silvio-Ulrich Martin, Ralf Müsgen, Oliver Schneider

Patent number: 8257032Abstract: A guide vane for a gas turbine with a vane base body which is of single-piece design and comprises a profiled vane blade extending between a vane root and a cover plate and also the vane root formed integrally with the vane blade and the cover plate formed integrally with the vane blade, is intended, in a relatively simple way to be able to be matched to the individual conditions of use with especially little outlay on apparatus and logistics. For this purpose, according to the invention, a flow-routing body with an advance guide blade that is connected upstream of the vane blade as seen in the direction of flow of the working medium of the gas turbine is joined to the vane base body.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Alexander R.

Patent number: 8128357Abstract: The invention relates to a guide blade segment of a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, comprising a number of profiled blades which are arranged on a platform. A plurality of securing elements for securing the guide blade segment to an associated guide blade support are arranged on the side of the platform which is oriented away from the blade. The aim of the invention is to provide a guide blade segment which can be produced in a simple and economical manner avoiding casting problem areas enabling the guide blade segment to be attached in a particularly reliable and secure manner to the associated guide blade support. According to the invention, at least one section of at least one of the securing elements is a separately produced component which is rigidly connected to the platform or to an additional section of the securing element.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Katharina Bergander, Georg Bostanjoglo, Tobias Buchal, Winfried Eβer, Dirk Goldschmidt, Torsten Koch, Rudolf Küperkoch, Thorsten Mattheis, Jan Münzer, Ralf Müsgen, Matthias Oechsner, Ursula Pickert, Volker Vosberg

Publication number: 20110188999Abstract: An axial turbine for a gas turbine including a rotor blade cascade is provided. The rotor blade cascade is formed from rotor blades each including, a front edge, a blade tip, and an annular space wall that surrounds the rotor blade cascade and includes an annular space inner side, enabling the annular space wall to be arranged directly adjacent to the blade tip forming a radial gap between the covering of the blade tip and the annual space inner side. When the turbine is in operation, the area of the blade tip with the highest pressure load is disposed in the region of the front edges, and the rotor blades in the region of their front edges include a radial projection and the annular space wall includes on the annular space inner side, a peripheral radial recess that interacts with the radial projections such that a minimum is established in the direction of the main through-flow of the turbine.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2009Publication date: August 4, 2011Inventors: Stefan Braun, Christian Cornelius, Annika Emde, Andreas Heilos, Olaf Hein, Thomas Hofbauer, Christian Lerner, Silvio-Ulrich Martin, Thorsten Mattheis, Ralf Müsgen, Eckart Schumann, Rostislav Teteruk, Adam Zimmermann

Patent number: 7832988Abstract: A turbine blade with an aerodynamically profiled blade leaf which is produced from two assembled shell elements is provided. The shell elements forming the suction-side and the pressure-side blade leaf wall have been assembled by a high-temperature and high-pressure bonding process. In the region of the blade leaf tip, a cramp is provided which hooks the two blade walls together with one another with a form fit.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Katharina Bergander, Georg Bostanjoglo, Tobias Buchal, Winfried Eβer, Dirk Goldschmidt, Torsten Koch, Rudolf Küperkoch, Thorsten Mattheis, Jan Münzer, Ralf Müsgen, Matthias Oechsner, Ursula Pickert, Volker Vosberg

Patent number: 7758309Abstract: There is described a vane wheel of a turbine comprising at least one vane, the footing thereof being held on a wheel disk. At least one cooling channel is arranged between the wheel disk and the vane footing. The vane wheel having a plurality of turbulators is embodied on at least one of the walls of the cooling channel, the turbulators being configured in such a way that the turbulence and thus the heat transfer of a cooling fluid flowing through the cooling channel are increased.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2005Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans-Thomas Bolms, Andreas Heselhaus, Roland Häbel, Torsten Koch, Ralf Müsgen
