Abstract
A diffuser component for a gas turbine is provided, where a fluid flow in the direction of a combustion chamber of the gas turbine can be slowed down by the diffuser component, and a flow cross-section of the diffuser component, which is defined by a diffuser wall is widened to do so. The diffuser wall is at least locally braced, in that at least one stiffening element with a lattice-type structure is provided on the diffuser wall.
Claims14
A diffuser component for a gas turbine, comprising:
- a diffuser wall defining a flow cross-section, the flow cross-section increasing in area in a flow direction toward a combustion chamber of the gas turbine to slow a fluid flow through the flow cross-section toward the combustion chamber;
- at least one stiffening element including a lattice structure connected to the diffuser wall, the at least one stiffening element bracing a section of the diffuser wall;
- wherein the at least one stiffening element is positioned on an outer side of the diffuser wall that faces away from the fluid flow.
