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:
An airfoil stage of a turbine engine includes an upstream airfoil assembly, a downstream airfoil assembly in rotational relationship to the upstream airfoil assembly and a rim seal assembly integrated therebetween. The rim seal assembly may include a sloped downstream portion of a platform of the upstream airfoil assembly, an upstream segment of a platform of the downstream airfoil assembly and a nub that projects radially outward from the upstream segment. The downstream portion and the upstream segment are spaced from one-another defining a cooling cavity therebetween for the flow of cooling air. The portion and segment overlap axially such that the nub is axially aligned to the downstream portion for improved cooling effectiveness and a reduction of core airflow into the cooling cavity.

An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a first platform located at a first end of a first airfoil. A cooling passage extends through the first platform and includes a first portion that has a first thickness and a second portion that has a second thickness and surrounds opposing ends of the first portion.
Abstract:
An airfoil platform includes a platform body having an arcuate base defining a centerline axis. A rail extends radially outboard from a side of the arcuate base. A feed orifice is defined at least partially in the rail. The inner diameter edge of an axially facing opening of the feed orifice is spaced apart radially outboard of an outer diameter surface of the arcuate base. A method for manufacturing an airfoil platform includes providing an airfoil platform body and forming the feed orifice through the rail. Forming the feed orifice through the rail includes forming the feed orifice radially outboard of and spaced apart from the outer diameter surface of the arcuate base.
Abstract:
An airfoil of a turbine engine may have internal passages to permit the travel of cooling air through the airfoil. Multiple airfoils may be formed together in a stator vane assembly, and cooling air may be directed through the stator vane assembly. The stator vane assembly may be mounted to an engine structure to carry structural loads experienced by the stator vane assembly. Buttresses may be formed in the stator vane assembly, such as beneath each airfoil of the stator vane assembly, and extending into a passage permitting the travel of cooling air through the airfoil. The buttresses may enhance the strength and stability of the stator vane assembly by facilitating the transmission of structural loads to an engine structure. A channel may be defined through one or more buttress to enable the passage of cooling air into the airfoils, and yet allow the buttresses to carry structural loads.

A stator for a gas turbine engine has a platform supporting multiple vanes that includes first and second vanes respectively. First and second regions are arranged at the same location on the first and second vanes. The first and second regions respectively include first and second cooling hole configurations that are different than one another.

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.
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.
