Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide an axial-flow turbine having an improved efficiency. In addition, the assembly and dismantling possibilities are to be extended. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the parting seam (17) between the outer ring (12) of the nozzle ring (15) and the cover (8) is arranged on the moving-blade side of an imaginary plane (20) passing through the center of the gap width (19) of the axial gap (18).
Claims4
An axial-flow turbine comprising a rotor carrying a number of moving blades, a nozzle ring arranged upstream of the moving blades and comprising an outer ring, an inner ring and a number of guide blades arranged in between, an axial gap formed between the moving blades and the guide blades and having a gap width, and a cover defining the moving blades to the outside, a parting seam being formed between the outer ring of the nozzle ring and the cover, wherein the parting seam between outer ring and cover is arranged directly upstream of the moving blades.
An axial-flow turbine comprising a rotor carrying a number of moving blades, a nozzle ring arranged upstream of the moving blades and comprising an outer ring, an inner ring and a number of guide blades arranged in between, an axial gap formed between the moving blades and the guide blades and having a gap width, and a cover defining the moving blades to the outside, a parting seam being formed between the outer ring of the nozzle ring and the cover, wherein the parting seam between outer ring and cover is arranged directly upstream of the moving blades, wherein both the cover and the outer ring have an inner contour, the inner contour of the cover being arranged radially outside the inner contour of the outer ring.
An axial-flow turbine comprising a rotor carrying a number of moving blades, a nozzle ring arranged upstream of the moving blades and comprising an outer ring, an inner ring and a number of guide blades arranged in between, an axial gap formed between the moving blades and the guide blades and having a gap width, and a cover defining the moving blades to the outside, a parting seam being formed between the outer ring of the nozzle ring and the cover, wherein the parting seam between outer ring and cover is arranged directly upstream of the moving blades and, wherein each moving blade has a blade profile having a pressure side, a suction side and a blade tip, a bracket projecting beyond the blade profile at least on the pressure side being arranged on the blade tip.
