In turbomachines having blading with cover bands and labyrinth seals limiting the leakage flow the final cavity of the labyrinth seal is designed so to reduce the losses due to the leakage flow rejoining the main flow of the turbine. As a result of the new cavity design the radial velocity component of the leakage...

In a turbomachine blades are provided with borings arranged in the vicinity of the wall of the inner housing and/or the rotor of the turbomachine. The borings each extend from the pressure side to the suction side of a blade. Alternatively, blades with cover bands and associated cavities for labyrinth seals have...
