  • Publication number: 20080050233
    Abstract: A turbomachine (1), in particular a gas turbine, has a stator (2) and a rotor (3) and with at least one axial sealing device (6) arranged between them. On the stator side, the sealing device (6) has a radially stepped sealing contour (8) with regions (9, 10) projecting and retracting in the direction of the rotor (3), on the rotor side a plurality of sealing fins (11) projecting in the direction of the stator (2) being arranged, which engage in each case into adjacent retracting regions (10) of the stator-side sealing contour (8). On the rotor side, at least one additional fin (12) projecting in the direction of the stator (2) is provided, which is positioned between two adjacent sealing fins (11) arranged on the rotor side and which lies opposite a projecting region of the stator-side sealing contour (8).

  • Publication number: 20070095072
    Abstract: A gas turbine includes a compressor for compressing the combustion air, at least one combustion chamber, in which a fuel is burned while compressed combustion air is supplied, and at least one first turbine arranged downstream of the combustion chamber and in which the hot combustion gases from the combustion chamber are expanded to perform work. Part of the compressed combustion air is branched off, cooled in a cooling air cooler, brought to a lower cooling air pressure by a second turbine and supplied to the gas turbine for cooling purposes.
