Abstract

The exhaust-gas turbine comprises a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing, a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall, the heat-protection wall defining with the turbine casing an inflow passage leading to the turbine wheel. The heat-protection wall has two seatings, the first seating resting on the bearing housing and the second seating resting on the turbine casing. If the heat-protection wall becomes hot, the two seatings are pressed against the bearing housing and the turbine casing. The turbine casing is pressed outward in the radial direction. Centering of the heat-protection wall and thus also of the turbine casing is ensured by the radially inner seating of the heat-protection wall.

Claims (10)

1. A heat-protection wall for an exhaust-gas turbine, the exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing, and a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and the heat-protection wall defining with the turbine casing an inflow passage leading to the turbine wheel, said heat-protection wall comprising centering lugs for engaging in slots which are set into the bearing housing, said heat-protection wall further comprising first and second seatings, said first seating being an encircling edge in a radially inner region of the heat-protection wall which encircling edge is provided for resting on the bearing housing, and said second seating being provided in a radially outer region of the heat-protection wall for resting on the turbine casing, wherein said first and second seatings are designed to be directed radially outwards, and wherein said centering lugs are arranged in a region located radially between said first seating and said second seating.

2. A bearing housing for an exhaust-gas turbine, the exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in the bearing housing, a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, for centering the turbine casing via the heat-protection wall and relative to the shaft mounted in the bearing housing, the bearing housing comprises a seating directed radially inwards for resting on the heat-protection wall, and radially extending slots are set into the bearing housing, said slots are provided for receiving the centering lugs that are attached to the heat-protection wall, wherein said slots are arranged in a region located radially outside of said radially inwards directed seating.

3. An exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing as claimed in claim 2 , a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall.

4. An exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing, a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall as claimed in claim 1 .

5. A heat-protection wall for an exhaust-gas turbine, the exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing, and a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and the heat-protection wall defining with the turbine casing an inflow passage leading to the turbine wheel, wherein slots are set into the heat-protection wall, which slots are provided for receiving connecting wedges, plugs or centering lugs attached to the bearing housing, said heat protection wall comprising first and second seatings, said first seating being an encircling edge in a radially inner region of said heat-protection wall which encircling edge is provided for resting on the bearing housing, and said second seating being provided in a radially outer region of said heat-protection wall for resting on the turbine casing, wherein said first and second seatings are designed to be directed radially outwards, and wherein said slots are arranged in a region located radially between said first seating and said second seating.

6. A bearing housing for an exhaust-gas turbine, the exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in the bearing housing, a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall as claimed in claim 5 , wherein, for centering the turbine casing via the heat-protection wall and relative to the shaft mounted in the bearing housing, the bearing housing comprises a seating directed radially inwards for resting on the heat-protection wall, and radially extending slots are set into the bearing housing, said slots of the bearing housing and the slots which are set into the heat-protection are provided for receiving connecting wedges or plugs, wherein said slots are arranged in a region located radially outside of said radially inwards directed seating.

7. An exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing as claimed in claim 6 , a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall.

8. A bearing housing for an exhaust-gas turbine, the exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in the bearing housing, a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bearing housing, for centering the turbine casing via the heat-protection wall and relative to the shaft mounted in the bearing housing, comprises a seating directed radially inwards for resting on the heat-protection wall, and centering lugs which are provided for engaging in slots which are set into the heat-protection wall, wherein said centering lugs are arranged in a region located radially outside of said radially inwards directed seating.

9. An exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing as claimed in claim 8 , a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall.

10. An exhaust-gas turbine having a turbine casing, a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing, a turbine wheel arranged on the shaft, and a heat-protection wall as claimed in claim 5 .
