Abstract:
An airfoil includes an exterior wall, a triple trailing edge pin bank, and first and second impingement systems. The exterior wall defines a first interior space. A segmenting wall divides the first interior space into a second and a first interior space. The first impingement system is disposed within the first interior space and the second impingement system is disposed within the first interior space. First impingement system includes impingement holes with a first impingement hole density. Second impingement system includes impingement holes with a second impingement hole density. The impingement systems also include dividing walls extending from a first and second interior wall to the exterior wall. The interior walls, exterior wall, and dividing walls define a first and second zone. The first and second impingement hole density is configured to separately meter flow to the first and second zones.
