Stator heat shield
View Patent ↗A stator heat shield ( 6 ) for a gas turbine ( 1 ) includes an outside ( 11 ) which in the installed state faces a hot gas path ( 9 ) of the gas turbine ( 1 ), and an inside ( 12 ) facing away from the outside ( 11 ). A plurality of ribs ( 13 ) are formed on the inside ( 12 ) and extend axially in the installed state with regard to an axis of rotation ( 8 ) of a rotor ( 3 ) of the gas turbine ( 1 ) and, in the circumferential direction, are spaced a distance apart from one another. At least one baffle plate ( 14 ) is arranged on the inside ( 12 ) and is in contact with the ribs ( 13 ). At least one groove ( 16 ) is designed in an end face ( 15 ) bordering the stator heat shield ( 6 ) in the circumferential direction, into which at least one sealing element ( 18 ) can be inserted. A plurality of bores ( 19 ) are included, each opening at a distance from the groove ( 16 ) in the direction of the outside ( 11 ) at the inside ( 12 ) at one end and on the end face ( 15 ) at the other end and arranged a distance apart from one another in the axial direction.
