Abstract
An inlet guide vane arrangement for a gas turbine is provided. The arrangement includes a plurality of guide vane duct elements, the guide vane duct elements include a suction side wall and a pressure side wall, both walls facing each other, and are designed to be adjoinable to another of the guide vane duct elements, such that the pressure side wall of one guide vane duct element cooperates with the suction side wall of the adjacent guide vane duct element thereby forming a guide vane. The guide vane duct element includes features to accept a key element adapted to be arranged between the pressure side wall and the adjacent suction side wall, when two guide vane duct elements are adjoining to one another, and to attach together both adjoining guide vane duct elements.
