Abstract: A first stage vane arrangement having an array of first stage vanes and an array of frame segments and method for cooling frame segments of the first vane arrangement of a gas turbine are disclosed. The frame segments are designed for axially receiving aft ends of a combustor transition pieces. The first stage vanes include extended vanes, each vane having a leading section, a trailing edge, and an airfoil extending between an outer platform and an inner platform. The frame segments having an I-beam with an upper horizontal element, a lower horizontal element, and a vertical web. The vertical web having a downstream face facing towards a first stage of a turbine when installed in a gas turbine. The downstream face of the vertical web of at least one of the frame segments overlaps, at least partially, the leading section of at least one of the extended vanes.

Abstract: The invention concerns a gas turbine having a picture frame, a first vane, and a sealing arrangement to seal a gap between the picture frame and the first vane, the sealing arrangement including two seals arranged in series between the picture frame and the first vane. In exemplary embodiments, one of the seals is a honeycomb seal, a dogbone seal, a hula seal or a piston seal and the other seal is a honeycomb seal, a dogbone seal, a hula seal or a piston seal. A method of supplying cooling fluid to the gap between the picture frame and the first vane is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a conical hula seal wherein an inner part of the conical hula seal is closer to a conical hula seal longitudinal axis than an outer part of the conical hula seal, and wherein the conical hula seal extends in a circumferential direction relative to the conical hula seal longitudinal axis. A gas turbine which includes the conical hula seal is also disclosed, along with a method of operating a gas turbine which includes a conical hula seal that seals a gap between a first vane and a picture frame, the method including purging the gap with a cooling fluid.
