Patent attributes
A rotor for a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, is designed to conduct a medium, such as compressor air, in the interior of the gas turbine. In order to conduct the medium in the interior with low flow losses and at the same time to specify a rotor that can be produced comparatively simply and economically, a separately produced blade wheel is arranged between the mutually adjacent hub regions of the two rotor discs. The first side of said blade wheel lies against the hub region of the second rotor disc and the second side opposite the first side has a number of ribs, which extend from radially outside to radially inside.
