G.E.® Stage 3 Compressor Stator Shroud Segment 5129T68P01

Shroud for stage 3 compressor stator, the shroud segment is a radial structure on both the inner and outer surfaces that acts as a structural support connecting one stage bucket to another for vibration damping and helps contain the flow of gas so that it is utilized efficiently. The shroud segment forms a continuous annular ring around the compressor blades, thus enclosing the working fluid passage. The compressor shroud encloses the blade tip, thus preventing excessive leakage of the working gas and reducing blade-flutter, improving the efficiency and performance of the compressor segment in the turbine.
The shroud incorporates cooling air channels, protecting the shroud from high temperature damage. Manufactured from super alloys, the shroud has excellent thermal and fatigue resistant properties. Overall, part number 5129T68P01 plays a crucial role in the reliable operation of the gas turbine.
