Abstract (en)

Due to the manufacturing process, there are frequently rotationally symmetrical cavities (4) in shafts of turbo engines, and these have a thermally insulating effect. To improve heat transfer in the shaft (1, 2), the cavities are filled with a gas which is a good heat conductor and/or, the front walls of the cavity, have axially/radially extending ribs (11). It is possible in this way to reduce or even eliminate the insulating effect of the cavity. <IMAGE>

Abstract (de)

In Wellen von Turbomaschinen befinden sich vielfach herstellungsbedingte rotationssymmetrische Hohlräume (4), welche thermisch isolierend wirken. Zur Verbesserung des Wärmeüberganges in der Welle (1,2) sind die Hohlräume mit einem gut wärmeleitenden Gas gefüllt und/oder weisen an den Strinwänden des Hohlraums axial-radial verlaufende Rippen (11) auf. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die isolierende Wirkung des Hohlraums abschwächen oder gar aufheben. <IMAGE>
