    Abstract: Wheel disc arrangement has a wheel disc, a plurality of blade devices fastened along the outer circumference, and a plurality of sealing plates held in two radially spaced-apart annular grooves. The first annular groove is bounded axially outwards by an annular projection. The second annular groove is defined by a plurality of adjacently arranged annular groove segments in the individual blade devices. The first annular groove is of undercut design and has at least two axially opposite and protruding holding projections with a respective bearing surface. The sealing plates have, in the inside diameter, two supporting projections corresponding to the holding projections, axially opposite and face away from one another, with a supporting surface. The arrangement is configured such that the supporting surfaces of the sealing plates are supported against the bearing surfaces of the holding projections under the effect of a centrifugal force.

  • Patent number: 10233757
    Abstract: A rotor for a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, is configured to conduct a medium in its interior. In order to conduct the medium in the interior with low flow losses, it is provided that a rotor disk of the compressor has holes, in order to feed the medium from outside into the rotor interior. For improved temperature control of the rotor disk, the holes conduct the medium through the rotor disk counter to the flow direction in the compressor.

  • Patent number: 10107103
    Abstract: A rotor for a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, is configured for guiding a medium in its interior. In order to guide the medium in the interior with low flow losses, a pair of rotor disks lie on one another, of which the first of the two rotor disks of the pair has holes, in order to feed the medium from the outside into the rotor interior, and rib-shaped ribs, in order to guide the medium further in the direction of the rotational axis, and the second rotor disk of the pair being configured with the aid of an auxiliary web in such a way that the flow passages which are formed between the ribs as viewed in the circumferential direction are delimited axially at least over the large part of the radial extent of the ribs.

  • Patent number: 10077662
    Abstract: A rotor for a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, is designed to conduct a medium, such as compressor air, in the interior of the gas turbine. In order to conduct the medium in the interior with low flow losses and at the same time to specify a rotor that can be produced comparatively simply and economically, a separately produced blade wheel is arranged between the mutually adjacent hub regions of the two rotor discs. The first side of said blade wheel lies against the hub region of the second rotor disc and the second side opposite the first side has a number of ribs, which extend from radially outside to radially inside.
