Abstract:
A platform for supporting a nozzle guide vane for a gas turbine is provided. The platform has a gas passage surface arranged to be in contact with a streaming operation gas, and a cooling channel for guiding a cooling fluid within the cooling channel formed in an inside of the platform. A cooling portion of an inner surface of the cooling channel is in thermal contact with the gas passage surface. The platform is an integrally formed part representing a segment in a circumferential direction of the gas turbine. The cooling channel has a first cooling channel portion and a second cooling channel portion arranged downstream of the first cooling channel portion with respect to a streaming direction of the operation gas. The first cooling channel portion and the second cooling channel portion are interconnected.

Abstract:
A flush-type push release door latch is disclosed herein having a slidable member carried in a housing adapted to movably position a latching member in holding relationship with respect to a catch member in response to pushing pressure applied to the catch member. Pushing pressure also disengages the latch member from the catch member. The action of the latch member between its position is determined by resilient spring tension on both the slidable member and the latch member.
Abstract:
A method of protecting a component, in particular a turbine blade, from the effects of hot corrosion includes the steps of applying a chromium diffusion coating to the component and applying a coating of a ceramic material to one or more selected regions of the chromium diffusion coating. The selected regions are regions which, in subsequent use of the component, are subjected to temperatures lower than a predetermined temperature. The ceramic material preferably includes a binder combined with a metal oxide. In a preferred embodiment, a turbine blade is coated over the whole of its internal and external surfaces with the chromium diffusion coating; an aluminum diffusion coating is then applied, through a mask, to the aerofoil surfaces and the internal surfaces of the blade; the mask is removed and the ceramic material is applied as an overlay to the chromium diffusion coating in a region between the platform and the root of the blade.
