Abstract:
A machinery unit comprising a hot part, a cool part, a heat barrier which separates the hot part from the cool part, a fastener for holding said hot and cool parts together, and at least one force-transmitting metal element for producing a flux of force between the hot and cool parts, wherein the hot part and the cool part have flange-like plates disposed adjacent one another and spaced apart from one another, said flange-like plates being joined together by said at least one force-transmitting element through a minimal cross-sectional surface sufficient for the transmission of said force, and wherein a shaft passes through the hot and cool parts, and said flange-like plates are joined together by an annular body which surrounds and is spaced a slight distance away from the shaft or a sleeve enclosing the shaft.
