GAS TURBINE DEVICE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; gas turbines. SUBSTANCE: proposed device contains compressor with rotor, turbine with rotor connected with compressor, balancing member connected with turbine rotor and designed for neutralizing axial forces generated by rotors of compressor and turbine in which balancing member is set into action by fluid medium. Device includes at least one channel designed for passing at least part of fluid medium used for setting into action balancing member to at least part of turbine to change its temperature. Said part of turbine is essentially part of rotor. Balancing member is connected to end of turbine rotor farther in direction of fluid flow. Channel is laid to space formed between said end of rotor and balancing member. EFFECT: reduced amount of air taken off from compressor, possibility of acting onto temperature of turbine members. 9 cl, 2 dwg
