Abstract
A turbine arrangement includes first and second platforms forming a section of a main fluid path, aerofoils, and an impingement plate. Each aerofoil extends from the first to the second platform. The second platform has a surface opposite to the main fluid path with recesses surrounded by a raised edge, which provides support for the mountable impingement plate. The edge is formed as a first closed loop surrounding a first recess and further surrounding a first aperture of a first aerofoil and as a second closed loop surrounding a second recess and further surrounding a second aperture of a second aerofoil. A portion of the edge defines a continuous barrier between the first recess and the second recess for blocking cooling fluid. The barrier forms a mating surface for a central area of the impingement plate.
