A seal device is configured so that seal properties can be held over a long period of time. A seal device 1 inserted into and disposed between grooves each formed at first and second components which are adjacent to each other and collectively form a housing structure includes a first seal member inserted into the groove of the first component, a second seal member inserted into the groove of the second component, and a partitioning member extending between the first and second seal members to partition a space between the grooves of the first and second components and arranged movably relative to the first and second seal members.

A method for coating a part having a surface that has cooling fluid openings that adjoin cooling fluid ducts inside the part. A device analyzes the surface of a part having a surface that has cooling fluid openings which adjoin cooling fluid ducts inside the part, the device being usable in the aforementioned method. The disclosed device and/or the disclosed method is used during the manufacturing and/or overhauling of parts of a turbomachine.

A plurality of cooling passages extending in an axial direction are formed in a transition piece so as to be aligned in a circumferential direction and the axial direction. One or more downstream side passages are formed in a downstream side region (Rd) within one circumferential region. One or more upstream side passages are formed in an upstream side region Ru within the circumferential region. The total cross-sectional area per unit circumferential length of the one or more downstream side passages is larger than the total cross-sectional area per unit circumferential length of the one or more upstream side passages.

A wall of a hot gas component includes a hot and a cold-gas sided surface, one film cooling hole extending from an inlet in the cold-gas sided surface to an outlet in the hot-gas sided surface and with a metering section of constant cross-section and a diffuser section extending from the metering section. The diffuser section is bordered by a diffuser bottom and two opposing diffuser side walls, has a leading region, which extends from the metering section to the outlet, lies opposite the diffuser bottom and has a constant cross-section over its entire length corresponding to an elongation of a leading region of the metering section up to the outlet. The diffuser section has two diffuser arms dividing the flow into two subflows, generating delta-vortices, a v-shaped outlet, and a v-shaped outlet opening.

A seal for sealing a gap in a combustion arrangement of a gas turbine. The seal is formed by a L-shaped angle profile and a clamping profile. Both profiles have on the opposite side an engagement flank for fastening in a sealing groove and a sealing flank bearing against one another. The clamping profile further includes a holding portion, which is located opposite the associated sealing flank and also bears against the sealing flank of the angle profile, and a clamping portion connecting the sealing flank to the holding portion.

A seal for sealing a gap in a combustion apparatus of a gas turbine between a first side and an opposite second side. The seal includes a steel strap with a flat shape and a first metal web with a flat shape attached to the steel strap on the first side and a second metal web attached to the steel strap on the second side. Thereby the seal has a seal thickness with at least the steel strap plus the first metal web plus the thickness of the second metal web, wherein the seal thickness is at most 0.2-times of width of the seal. The new seal has an Omega shape of the second metal web, which is therefore attached on both sides with a flat shaped portion to the steel strap.

In a gas turbine engine, coolant (e.g., cooling air) is prone to leak out of the interface between the combustor case, the nozzle of the turbine, and the exhaust diffuser. Embodiments of an interface are disclosed that provide non-fretting sealing using an interference fit between radially facing surfaces of a combustor flange and diffuser flange. In addition, one or more contact sealing lands may be used between the combustor flange and diffuser flange and one or more seals may be provided between various components of the interface to provide additional sealing.

A method of forming a gas turbine engine component, the method including forming a plurality of cooling apertures in a preform structure of the component, the plurality of cooling apertures of the preform structure comprising a first cooling aperture and a second cooling aperture, wherein cross-sectional shapes of the first and second cooling apertures of the preform structure are different from one another, as measured in a same relative plane; and applying a coating to at least a portion of the preform structure to form the component, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first and second cooling apertures of the component are approximately the same as one another, as measured in the same relative plane.

Provided is a transition piece including: a first flow passage group formed by arranging a plurality of intra-wall flow passages extending within a plate constituting the transition piece from a side near a gas turbine to a side near a combustor liner; a second flow passage group located on a side near the combustor liner with respect to the first flow passage group; and a plurality of dilution holes that penetrate the plate, and establish communication between a compressed air main flow passage and a combustion gas flow passage, each intra-wall flow passage of the first flow passage group and the second flow passage group having an inlet facing the compressed air main flow passage at an end portion on a side near the gas turbine, and having an outlet facing the combustion gas flow passage at an end portion on a side near the combustor liner, a dilution hole being located nearer to the inlet of an intra-wall flow passage of the second flow passage group than to the outlet of the intra-wall flow passage of the second flow passage group in each of spaces between the intra-wall flow passages adjacent to each other in the second flow passage group.

A combustor includes a liner having an outlet end to pass combustion gas and a liner flange protruding outward from the outlet end; a transition piece to discharge combustion gas from the liner to a turbine, the transition piece having an inlet end for coupling to the outlet end of the liner and a transition piece flange protruding outward from the inlet end to face the liner flange; and a first elastic support installed on the liner flange to protrude toward the transition piece flange. A force applied from the transition piece elastically deforms an elastic arch of the first elastic support, which includes a movable support that is spaced apart from the liner flange if the force applied from the transition piece does not primarily deform the elastic arch. An auxiliary elastic support installed inside the first elastic support elastically deforms if the force secondarily deforms the elastic arch.
