摘要:
Apparatus and methods for cooling vane platforms are provided. In this regard, a representative method for cooling a vane platform (300) includes: providing a cooling channel (306) on a platform from which a vane airfoil extends, the cooling channel being defined by a cooling surface (304) and a channel cover (312), the channel cover being spaced from the cooling surface and located such that the cooling surface is positioned between a gas flow path of the vane and the channel cover; and directing a flow of cooling air through the cooling channel such that heat is extracted from the cooling surface of the platform by the flow of cooling air.

An example airfoil cooling arrangement includes a airfoil wall (86) having a first face (90) and a second face (94) opposite the first face (90). The airfoil wall (86) establishes a channel (100) that is configured to communicate fluid between an inlet aperture (104) and an outlet aperture (108). The channel (100) includes secondary portion (116) that branch from a primary portion (112). The channel may also comprise a tertiary portion (120) and a quartary portion (124).

A turbine engine component has an airfoil portion (100) with a pressure side wall (102), a suction side wall (104), and a trailing edge (108). The turbine engine component further has at least one first cooling circuit core (114) embedded within the pressure side wall (102), with each first cooling circuit core (114) having a first exit (122) for discharging a cooling fluid, at least one second cooling circuit core (116) embedded within the suction side wall (104), with each second cooling circuit core (116) having a second exit (124) for discharging a cooling fluid, and the first and second exits (122, 124) being aligned in a spanwise direction (125) of the airfoil portion (100).

An airfoil insert (10) comprises an insert wall (11), a contact element (14) and a flow director. The insert wall defines an interior (15) extending inside the insert wall from a first end (12) to second end (13), and an exterior (16) extending outside the insert wall from the first end to the second end. The contact element (14) is formed on the exterior of the insert wall (11). The flow director is formed on the insert wall (11) at a boundary between the interior and the exterior. The flow director increases a heat transfer coefficient of convective flow along the insert wall by directing the convective flow to the exterior of the insert wall. A method for cooling an airfoil (20) is also disclosed.
