Abstract:
The present invention relates to a turbine assembly with a basically hollow aerofoil, having at least a cavity with an inner wall and having at least an aperture providing access to the cavity, and at least a first impingement device arrangeable within the cavity. The at least first impingement device is self-locking, resilient and preloadable and has at least one locking element to lock the at least first impingement device in place in the cavity via a force fit between the at least one locking element and the inner wall of the cavity wherein the locking element of the at least first impingement device is embodied as a protrusion extending in an assembled state of the at least first impingement device in the cavity basically perpendicular to a surface of a side wall of the at least first impingement device in a direction towards the inner wall.
