TURBINE ASSEMBLY WITH DETACHABLE STRUTS

A turbine assembly having an outer casing (36), an inner structural ring (38), and an annular gas path (42) defined between outer and inner flow path walls (44, 46) for conducting a gas flow through the turbine assembly. A plurality of structural struts (52) are spaced apart in a circumferential dir...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A turbine assembly having an outer casing (36), an inner structural ring (38), and an annular gas path (42) defined between outer and inner flow path walls (44, 46) for conducting a gas flow through the turbine assembly. A plurality of structural struts (52) are spaced apart in a circumferential direction, each strut (52) including a strut body (52a) extending in a radial direction for supporting the inner structural ring (38) to the outer casing (36). A first strut end (64) at a radially outer end of the strut body (52a) is detachably attached to the outer casing (36) with a first fastener structure (68) engaging the outer casing (36), and a second strut end (66) at a radially inner end of the strut body (52a) is detachably attached to the inner structural ring (38) with a second fastener structure (70) engaging the inner structural ring (38).
