Abstract
A turbine plant compressor disc is formed from two halves which are welded together near the rim and define an internal cavity in which a centripetal accelerator is mounted for inducing cooling air to flow from the compressor through inclined passages in the rim on the downstream side of the blades carried by the rim, through the cavity of the disc, and towards the turbine to be cooled in the vicinity of the turbine shaft. The centripetal accelerator is composed of sectors which are removably mounted in the cavity of the disc, the sectors forming a perforated ring disposed in the central bore of the disc and each sector having a flat web extending radially outwards in the inner cavity of the disc to form radial centripetal channels communicating with the air passages in the rim.
