Gas turbine stator housing
View Patent ↗A housing including an outer casing provided with bearer hooks for stator rings and sealing rings. The hooks are discontinuous angularly and joined to a casing by tenon and mortise assemblies. The hooks and the casing may therefore be made in different materials, the hook material having good resistance to heating and the other material lending itself better to machining and forming. Ventilation, clearance piloting and heat protection are facilitated.
1. A stator housing comprising:
a casing and bearer parts for rings on an inner surface of the casing, the bearer parts being separate from the casing, joined to the casing by an assembly means and only extending over sectors of a circle, wherein the bearer parts comprise hooks provided with opposite grooves giving support to at least two of the rings, the rings including sealing rings alternating with stator rings carrying fixed blades, the stator rings being joined to the bearer parts by portions extending over their outer side in a radial direction,
wherein the assembly means comprises one or more tenons for each bearer part and mortises made in the casing and occupied by the tenons.
2. A stator housing as in claim 1 , wherein the rings are assembled to the bearer parts so as to leave said hooks partly exposed, one of the grooves giving support to one of the sealing rings and the other groove giving support to one of the stator rings.
3. A stator housing as in claim 1 , wherein the tenons cross through the casing, and an air blowing system by circular ramps surrounds the casing, the ramps being perforated in front of the tenons.
4. A stator housing as in claim 1 , wherein the bearer parts and the casing are made of different materials.
5. A stator housing as in claim 1 , wherein the sealing rings are recessed towards the casing relative to the stator rings.
6. A stator housing as in claim 1 , wherein the hooks are made of different materials depending on an axial position of the hooks in the housing and a surrounding temperature inside the casing.
7. A stator housing comprising:
a casing and bearer parts for rings on an inner surface of the casing, the bearer parts being separate from the casing, joined to the casing by an assembly means and only extending over sectors of a circle, wherein the bearer parts comprise hooks provided with opposite grooves giving support to at least two of the rings, the rings including sealing rings alternating with stator rings carrying fixed blades, the stator rings being joined to the bearer parts by portions extending over their outer side in a radial direction,
wherein the bearer parts are hooks of a single type with widened ends, each supporting a stator ring carrying fixed blades, and are distributed in circular rows in identical number to said stator rings carrying fixed blades, the sealing rings having ends that are either positioned on portions of the stator rings borne by the hooks, or which fit into the grooves of the hooks.
8. A stator housing as in claim 7 , wherein the bearer parts and the casing are made of different materials.
9. A stator housing as in claim 7 , wherein the sealing rings are recessed towards the casing relative to the stator rings.
10. A stator housing as in claim 9 , wherein a periphery of a gas flow stream inside the housing is delimited by the stator rings and by peripheral rings surrounding mobile blades.
11. A stator housing as in claim 7 , wherein the hooks are made of different materials depending on an axial position of the hooks in the housing and a surrounding temperature inside the casing.
12. A stator housing as in claim 11 , wherein the different materials comprise M509 for a surrounding temperature over 900° C. and RENE77 for lower surrounding temperatures.
13. A stator housing comprising:
a casing and bearer parts for rings on an inner surface of the casing, the bearer parts being separate from the casing, joined to the casing by an assembly means and only extending over sectors of a circle, wherein the bearer parts comprise hooks provided with opposite grooves giving support to at least two of the rings, the rings including sealing rings alternating with stator rings carrying fixed blades, the stator rings being joined to the bearer parts by portions extending over their outer side in a radial direction, and
a jacket inside the casing, separated from the casing by a space and formed of a continuous sheet through which the bearer parts pass at points where the jacket is pierced.
14. A stator housing as in claim 13 , further comprising lagging filling the space.
