Abstract
An arrangement for a turbine has a metallic support structure having at least one radial support strut and a multiplicity of plate-shaped, fiber-reinforced ceramic segments which are arranged one on top of the other on the support structure and together define the circumferential contour, the segments being provided with through-openings through which the at least one support strut extends, wherein the at least one support strut has outwardly-extending projections that extend perpendicular to the radial direction and engage in corresponding recesses formed in the segments.
Claims18
An arrangement for a turbine, comprising:
- a metal support structure comprising at least one support strut comprising a longitudinal axis, and
- a multiplicity of segments arranged in a stack on the metal support structure, wherein each segment of the multiplicity of segments comprises a flat shape comprising a thickness along the longitudinal axis and a width that extends along a second axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the width is greater than the thickness, and wherein each segment comprises a ceramic fiber composite material,
- wherein the multiplicity of segments together define at least one part of a circumferential contour of the arrangement,
- wherein each segment of the multiplicity of segments comprises a through-opening, wherein in the stack the through-openings align to form a first stack opening of through-openings that extends along the longitudinal axis, and wherein a first support strut of the at least one support strut is disposed within the stack of through-openings and extends along the longitudinal axis thereby passing through at least two of the through-openings, and
- wherein the first support strut comprises at least one outwardly protruding projection extending along the second axis, wherein the at least one outwardly protruding projection engages in at least one correspondingly designed recess on at least one segment of the multiplicity of segments.
