Abstract:
Disclosed is a gas turbine for a thermal power plant, especially a gas turbine, comprising a rotatable rotor and a duct which can be penetrated by a gas and in which turbine blades for driving the rotor are disposed. The inventive gas turbine is characterized by a blocking device which at least partially prevents the gas from penetrating the duct in a closed position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for cooling a gas turbine comprising a rotor, said method being carried out after the operation of the gas turbine and whereby the rotor is driven at least intermittently during a cooling phase at a reduced nominal speed. To provide a gas turbine with a reduced down time, a liquid is introduced at least intermittently into the air stream upstream of the compressor during the cooling phase.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a bearing for axially mounting a rotor of a gas turbine. Said bearing comprises a bearing body that is disposed stationary relative to the position of the rotor, a hydraulic piston arrangement which is accommodated by the bearing body, and a hydraulic system that is fluidically connected to the hydraulic piston- arrangement. In order to create a bearing which also absorbs bearing forces that occur due to high dynamic thrusts of the rotor while ensuring secure mounting of the rotor, a diaphragm is mounted between the hydraulic piston arrangement and the hydraulic system.
