Abstract: The nozzle segment for a gas turbine comprises an inner platform and an outer platform as well as a plurality of airfoils arranged between the inner platform and the outer platform. A set of platform film cooling holes are provided, including at least one inner platform film cooling hole on a surface of the inner platform or on a surface of the outer platform facing said hot gas flow passage. A ratio between a distance in tangential direction of the platform film cooling hole from the pressure side of the respective airfoil and a width of the hot gas flow passage in tangential direction at the platform film cooling hole is comprised between 0 and 0.5.

Abstract: A turbine, and particularly a low pressure turbine is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of rotor members and spacers for arranged between rotor members, to avoid that an ingested gas flow from the hot gas flow path channel reaches the wheel space. The rotor members each include a deflector. The deflector is placed in correspondence with each spacer and deflects the ingested gas flow over the upper surface of the spacer, thus preventing it to heat up the roots of the blades.
