Abstract

A turbomachine includes an inner housing which radially defines the flow channel of the turbomachine. A thermal barrier coating is arranged about the inner housing. The thermal barrier coating of the inner housing is made of microporous plastic coating which can be added to hollow spheres made of different materials and have different sizes. A method for applying a thermal barrier coating to the inner casing of a turbomachine includes preparing a material having a base material which has a microporous plastic; coating the outside of the wall of the inner casing by applying the base material to the inner casing; and curing the applied material, thus forming the thermal barrier coating.

First claim

1 . A turbomachine, comprising
an inner casing radially bounding the flow duct of the turbomachine, a thermal barrier coating arranged around the inner casing which is applied to the outside of the wall of the inner casing and is a coating having a base material that has a microporous plastic.

2 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the thermal barrier coating clads the inner casing in the circumferential direction in annular fashion.

3 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
an outer casing arranged around the inner casing and the thermal barrier coating.

4 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the microporous plastic is selected from the group comprising polyurethane, polyethylene, polyolefin, polyether, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, ceramic, epoxy resin, elastomers, zeolites or a mixture thereof, or inorganic materials such as ceramic.

5 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the base material of the coating has hollow balls as filler.

6 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the material of the hollow balls is selected from polymers, glass or ceramic.

7 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the diameter of the hollow balls is between 10 μm and 500 μm.

8 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein different hollow balls have different diameters.

9 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the hollow balls have organic and/or inorganic coatings.

10 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the proportion of hollow balls is 35% to 50% by volume with respect to the total volume of the coating.

11 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the internal space of the hollow balls is filled with gas or liquid.

12 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the internal space of the hollow balls is evacuated.

13 . The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the turbomachine is a low-pressure turbine.

14 . A thermal barrier coating applied to the inner casing of a turbomachine, comprising:
a microporous plastic for coating the outside of the wall of the inner casing of the turbomachine.

15 . The thermal barrier coating as claimed in claim 14 ,
wherein the microporous plastic has hollow balls as filler.

16 . A method for applying a thermal barrier coating to the inner casing of a turbomachine, of the method comprising:
preparing a material having a base material which has a microporous plastic; coating the outside of the wall of the inner casing by applying the base material to the inner casing; and curing the applied material, thus forming the thermal barrier coating.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 16 ,
wherein the microporous plastic has hollow balls as filler.
