Abstract
A symmetrical component of a turbine unit, whose wall is exposed to a hot medium on one side and is subject to nonuniform thermal stress over the circumference, is cooled by a flow of cooling air being guided along the other side of the component. A ring ( ) is provided with slots ( ) or other openings for the passage of the cooling air. The ring ( ) protrudes into the flow of the cooling air. The overall cross section of the slots ( ) that are arranged in the sections of the ring ( ) that are adjacent to the areas of the component that are subject to the higher stress is larger than the overall cross section of the slots ( ) that are arranged in the sections of the ring ( ) that are adjacent to the areas of the component that are subject to a lower stress.
