Abstract

A gas turbine with a compressor having stator side guide blades and rotor side moving blades, a burner a combustion chamber; with a turbine); with a diffuser arranged downstream of the compressor, which has an inside wall and an outside wall and; an intermediate housing following the outside wall. An outlet side guide blade ring of stator side, outlet side guide blades ( 30 a ) of the compressor has an inner shroud and an outer shroud. First fastening devices are formed on the outer shroud ( 34 ) of the guide blade ring via which the guide blade ring is attached to the intermediate housing, second fastening devices are formed, on the inner shroud ( 33 ) of the guide blade ring via which the inside wall of the diffuser is directly attached to the guide blade ring.

Claims (44)

1 . A gas turbine, comprising:

an axial compressor configured to compress air, comprising:

stator side guide blades; and

rotor side moving blades;

a burner comprising at least one combustion chamber, to which air compressed in the axial compressor is fed and in which a fuel can be combusted in with the compressed air, subject to heating the air;

a turbine configured to expand the heated air;

a diffuser arranged downstream of the turbine, as seen in a flow direction of the compressed air, the diffuser comprising:

an inside wall; and

an outside wall;

an intermediate housing following the outside wall of the diffuser;

an outlet side guide blade ring of a stator side, comprises:

outlet side guide blades of the compressor;

an inner shroud; and

an outer shroud;

first fastening devices formed on the outer shroud of the outlet side guide blade ring of the stator side guide blades via which the guide blade ring is directly attached to the intermediate housing; and

second fastening devices formed on the inner shroud of the outlet side guide blade ring of the stator side guide blades via which the inside wall of the diffuser is directly attached to the guide blade ring.

2 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the outside wall of the diffuser is one of:

directly connected to the intermediate housing and

is an integral part of the intermediate housing.

3 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein two stator side guide blades of the outlet side guide blade ring form a tandem arrangement.

4 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio between a thickness of the stator side guide blades of the outlet side guide blade ring and a thickness of the inner shroud of the guide blade ring is greater than or equal to 1:5.

5 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio between a thickness of the stator side guide blades of the outlet side guide blade ring and a thickness of the outer shroud of the guide blade ring is greater than or equal to 1:5.

6 . The gas turbine according to claim 4 , wherein the thickness of each stator side guide blade of the outlet side guide blade ring is defined by a maximum distance between a suction side and a pressure side of the respective guide blade, and the thickness of the respective shroud of the outlet side guide blade ring is defined by a distance between two boundary surfaces of the respective shroud in a radial direction of the guide blade ring.

7 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein a monolithic assembly is formed by:

the stator side guide blades of the outlet side guide blade ring,

the inner shroud,

the outer shroud,

the first fastening devices, and

the second fastening devices.

8 . The gas turbine according to claim 7 , wherein the monolithic assembly is produced via a generative production method.

9 . The gas turbine according to claim 8 , wherein the generative production method is 3D printing.

10 . The gas turbine according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness of each stator side guide blade of the outlet side guide blade ring is defined by a maximum distance between a suction side and a pressure side of the respective guide blade, and the thickness of the respective shroud of the outlet side guide blade ring is defined by a distance between two boundary surfaces of the respective shroud in a radial direction of the guide blade ring.

11 . An outlet side guide blade ring of stator side guide blades of an axial compressor of a gas turbine, comprising:

an inner shroud and an outer shroud;

first fastening devices are formed on the outer shroud via which the guide blade ring is configured to be directly attached to an intermediate housing of the gas turbine;

second fastening devices are formed on the inner shroud via which an inside wall of a diffuser of the gas turbine is configured to be directly attached to the guide blade ring.

12 . A method for producing a guide blade ring of stator side guide blades of an axial compressor of a gas turbine, having:

an inner shroud and an outer shroud;

first fastening devices are formed on the outer shroud via which the guide blade ring is configured to be directly attached to an intermediate housing of the gas turbine;

second fastening devices are formed on the inner shroud via which an inside wall of a diffuser of the gas turbine is configured to be directly attached to the guide blade ring,

the method comprising:

providing a material;

producing the guide blade ring as monolithic assembly via a generative production method.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the generative production method is 3D printing.
