A turbomachine including a rotor having an axis and a plurality of disks positioned adjacent to each other in the axial direction, each disk including opposing axially facing surfaces and a circumferentially extending radially facing surface located between the axially facing surfaces. At least one row of blades is positioned on each of the disks, and the blades include an airfoil extending radially outward from the disk A non-segmented circumferentially continuous ring structure includes an outer rim defining a thermal barrier extending axially in overlapping relation over a portion of the radially facing surface of at least one disk, and extending to a location adjacent to a blade on the disk A compliant element is located between a radially inner circumferential portion of the ring structure and a flange structure that extends axially from an axially facing surface of the disk.

Thermal shields for gas turbine rotor

A telemetry system for use in a combustion turbine engine () having a compressor (), a combustor and a turbine () and includes a sensor () in connection with a turbine blade () or vane (). A transmitter assembly () includes a telemetry transmitter circuit/transceiver may be affixed on a turbine blade () or seal plate () proximate the turbine blade with a first connecting material () deposited on the turbine blade () for routing electronic data signals, indicative of a condition of the turbine blade (), from the sensor () to the telemetry transmitter circuit/transceiver. An induction power system for powering the telemetry transmitter circuit/transceiver may include a rotating data antenna () affixed to the seal plate () with an electrical connection () between the telemetry transmitting circuit/transceiver for routing electronic data signals from the telemetry transmitter circuit/transceiver to the rotating data antenna ().
