PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a support apparatus for a shroud 85 of a gas turbine 35. SOLUTION: The apparatus includes an outer shroud block 80 having a coupling connectable to a casing of the gas turbine 35, and a shroud component having a forward flange 310 and an aft flange 350. The shroud component is attached to the outer shroud block 80 via the forward flange 310 and the aft flange 350. The apparatus further includes a damper disposed between the outer shroud block 80 and the shroud component, and a biasing element disposed within the outer shroud block 80. A translational degree of freedom between the damper and the outer shroud block 80 defines a direction of motion 265 of the damper. The biasing element 220 is in operable connection between the outer shroud block 80 and the shroud 85 component via the damper. A biasing force of the biasing element 220 is directed along the direction of motion 265 of the damper. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
