A sealing element and a rotor of a gas turbine having at least one rotor disc and having an annular rotor component arranged adjacently to the rotor disc and having a plurality of sealing elements arranged distributed around the circumference. The sealing elements are fastened to the rotor disc at least in the axial direction. An inner edge portion of each of the sealing elements is adjacent to a sealing portion of the rotor component. In order to provide a seal between the sealing element and rotor component whilst at the same time enabling a relative axial displacement, a ring seal is arranged in a receiving space formed by the sealing element and rotor component.

Rotor with sealing element and ring seal

A rotor, in particular a gas turbine rotor, having multiple rotor discs, each of which has an axial through-opening, and the rotor discs are axially clamped by at least one tie rod extending through the through-openings and are combined so as to form at least one rotor disc unit. At least one support ring which surrounds the tie rod and is in engagement with a paired rotor disc rests against the outer diameter of the tie rod, and the tie rod is supported against the rotor disc by the support ring. In order to axially secure the at least one support ring, at least one securing ring is provided which is secured to the paired rotor disc by a rotational lock and which holds the support ring against the rotor disc. The securing ring is prevented from unscrewing by a securing plate.

An annular clamping nut which is provided for being placed onto the end of a tie bar, in order to brace the latter, and which has in addition to a central recess for receiving the tie bar parallel to a longitudinal direction passages at uniform radial spacings in the ring circumferential direction which are directed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the central recess and are provided for receiving clamping screws. An external thread is provided on the outer surface of the clamping nut, which outer surface is arranged on a side which lies substantially opposite the wall of the central recess, which external thread runs substantially in the ring circumferential direction of the outer surface.

A wheel disk assembly having a wheel disk, a plurality of blade devices, which are arranged thereon in a manner distributed over the circumference, and a plurality of sealing plates, which are retained in two annular grooves spaced apart from each other radially. In this assembly, the first annular groove is provided in the wheel disk and is bounded axially outward by an annular projection. The projection, in turn, is interrupted by a recess extending in the circumferential direction, with the result that a sealing plate can be inserted axially through the recess between the annular grooves. A closure piece is furthermore provided for closing the recess, which closure piece is captively retained on the sealing plate by a form fit.

Wheel disk assembly

Wheel disc arrangement has a wheel disc, a plurality of blade devices fastened along the outer circumference, and a plurality of sealing plates held in two radially spaced-apart annular grooves. The first annular groove is bounded axially outwards by an annular projection. The second annular groove is defined by a plurality of adjacently arranged annular groove segments in the individual blade devices. The first annular groove is of undercut design and has at least two axially opposite and protruding holding projections with a respective bearing surface. The sealing plates have, in the inside diameter, two supporting projections corresponding to the holding projections, axially opposite and face away from one another, with a supporting surface. The arrangement is configured such that the supporting surfaces of the sealing plates are supported against the bearing surfaces of the holding projections under the effect of a centrifugal force.

A rotor for a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, is configured to conduct a medium in its interior. In order to conduct the medium in the interior with low flow losses, it is provided that a rotor disk of the compressor has holes, in order to feed the medium from outside into the rotor interior. For improved temperature control of the rotor disk, the holes conduct the medium through the rotor disk counter to the flow direction in the compressor.
