Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0636764A1] The gas turbine has a bladed rotor (6) welded together from a plurality of discs (7,8). Hollow spaces (9) exist between the discs (7,8) and axial ducts (17) occur in the rotor periphery between the rotor surface (15) and platforms (16) formed by the rotor blades (13) and segmental heat accumulation plates respectively. According to the invention cooling air is fed to these axial ducts (17) from at least one hollow space between two rotor discs (7,8). For this purpose the at least one hollow space (9) is connected to the said axial ducts (17), preferably by way of connecting apertures (18). It is fed from a central cooling air feed duct (20) emerging from the downstream end of the rotor. The cooling air is preferably drawn off from the process air at the centre part of the compressor, resulting in low-pressure cooling. <IMAGE>
