Abstract
A method for assembly of a rotor of a gas turbine with a housing and a channel which diverges in a direction of flow includes axially displacing the rotor in the direction of flow. Then, an outer sealing ring whose minimum inside diameter is smaller than the maximum outside diameter of the rotor is axially displaced in the direction of flow.
Claims12
A method for assembly of a rotor of a gas turbine with a housing and a channel which diverges in a direction of flow, comprising the steps of:
- axially displacing the rotor in the direction of flow into the housing;
- and
- following the step of axially displacing the rotor, axially displacing an outer sealing ring in the direction of flow, wherein a minimum inside diameter of the outer sealing ring is smaller than a maximum outside diameter of the rotor.
A gas turbine, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- an outer sealing ring, wherein the outer sealing ring is attached to the housing in a friction-locking manner, detachably and without being form-fitting, at a position against the direction of flow.
