Abstract
A turbine casing for an exhaust-gas turbine is provided herein. The turbine casing has a connection flange for bearing-casing-side attachment to a bearing casing in which casing-connection holes that are mutually spaced in the circumferential direction are provided, wherein, between adjacent casing-connection holes, material recesses that are open radially inwards towards a central longitudinal axis of the turbine casing are provided in the connection flange. Further provided herein is an exhaust-gas turbine that is equipped with the turbine casing.
Claims15
A turbine casing for an exhaust-gas turbine, the turbine casing having a connection flange for bearing-casing-side attachment to a bearing casing, wherein the connection flange defines casing-connection bores that are mutually spaced in a circumferential direction wherein the connection flange further comprises:
- a clamping edge including a depression bottom, the depression bottom extending in the circumferential direction over an entire circumference of the connection flange and positioned in a radially inner edge region of the clamping edge, the depression bottom defining an annular depression and material recesses, wherein the material recesses have a depth into the depression bottom greater than a depth of the annular depression, and wherein the material recesses are positioned between mutually adjacent casing-connection bores, the material recesses oriented radially inward toward a central longitudinal axis of the turbine casing and oriented radially inward from a main body of the turbine casing.
