Abstract
A device for positioning of nozzles of a stator stage and for cooling of rotor discs in gas turbines, of the type including nozzle segments consisting of several airfoils. Each nozzle segment is connected at its top to an outer ring to define a chamber containing cooling air and is positioned at its base on an inner ring. The nozzle segments form a circumferential array about the axis of the gas turbine. In each airfoil of the nozzle segment, there is provided at least one tube, which is inserted in a corresponding duct inside the airfoil for delivering cooling air to the first and second stage discs.
