Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component assembly comprises a first component and a second component circumferentially spaced from the first component relative to an engine center axis. A first baffle is associated with the first component. A second baffle is associated with the second component. Each of the first and second baffles includes at least one radial baffle tab. A gap is between the first and second baffles to define a cooling air inlet. A first coverplate is associated with the first baffle to cover a first portion of the gap. A second coverplate is associated with the second baffle to cover a second portion of the gap. The first and second coverplates are separate from each other, and include at least one coverplate radial tab that cooperates with an associated at least one baffle radial tab to prevent leakage gaps between the first and second baffle plates and the first and second coverplates.
Abstract:
An airfoil component for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending from a platform. At least one of the airfoil and the platform includes a cooling passage defined by a surface. A chevron-shaped trip strip extends from the surface into the cooling passage at a trip strip height along a length. The trip strip height varies along the length. A turbine vane for a gas turbine engine includes inner and outer platforms. A cooling passage is provided in the inner platform. The cooling passage is provided by first and second radially extending legs spaced circumferentially apart from one another and joined to one another by a circumferential passage. A pair of airfoils extend radially from the same inner platform. A trip strip extends from the surface into the circumferential passage at a trip strip height along a length. The trip strip height varying along the length.
Abstract:
A cooled component for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of internal ribs extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine. The internal ribs are disposed within an internal cavity defining cooling air passages within the cooled component. A plurality of cooling holes are arranged in rows with axial orientations alternating between a radially outboard bias directing cooling air radially outward and a radially inboard bias directing cooling air radially inward. Each of the cooling holes includes an internal opening in communication with one of the cooling air passages and an external opening open to an outer surface of the cooled component. The external opening of each of the plurality of cooling holes is disposed on a side opposite the internal rib relative to a corresponding internal opening. A gas turbine engine and a method of fabricating a turbine airfoil are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A flow path component includes a platform having at least one radially aligned face. A chordal seal extends axially from the radially aligned face. The chordal seal includes a first curved face configured to prevent edge line contact under deflection conditions while the flow path component is installed in an engine.
Abstract:
A vane includes a pair of airfoils that have a plurality of film cooling holes that extend through an exterior surface of the airfoils. Each plurality of film cooling holes break through the exterior surface at geometric coordinates in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z as set forth in Table 1. Each geometric coordinates is measured from a reference point on a leading edge rail of a platform of the vane.

Abstract:
An airfoil includes an airfoil wall including an exterior airfoil surface and at least partially defines an airfoil cavity. A fillet is on the exterior airfoil surface. A recess is in an interior surface of the airfoil wall adjacent the fillet. A baffle tube is located in the airfoil cavity spaced from the recess.
Abstract:
A stator vane for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending in a radial direction and supported by a platform having a gas flowpath surface. A cooling passage is arranged in the platform and includes a circumferential passage that is fluidly connected to an inlet passage extending through and edge of the platform, and film cooling holes extending from the gas flowpath surface to the circumferential passage, radial extending passage through the edge of the platform. A void is interconnected to at least one of the radially extending passage and the inlet passage.
