摘要:
A cooled component, such as a turbine blade for gas turbines is provided, having efficient internal cooling, with an interior cooling passageway having a round cross-section. A row of feeding holes for the coolant are arranged spaced from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cooling passageway and originating from a common coolant channel. Each of the feeding holes intersects the cooling passageway tangentially. The ease of manufacturing the cooling component is improved in that the majority of the feeding holes have a hole diameter that is smaller than half of the hydraulic diameter of the cooling passageway, and selected feeding holes have a hole diameter that is greater than half of the hydraulic diameter of the cooling channel.

Cooling steam delivery tubes extend axially along the outer rim of a gas turbine rotor for supplying cooling steam to and returning spent cooling steam from the turbine buckets. Because of the high friction forces at the interface of the tubes and supporting elements due to rotor rotation, a low coefficient of friction coating is provided at the interface of the tubes and support elements. On each surface, a first coating of a cobalt-based alloy is sprayed onto the surface at high temperature. A portion of the first coating is machined off to provide a smooth, hard surface. A second ceramic-based solid film lubricant is sprayed onto the first coating. By reducing the resistance to axial displacement of the tubes relative to the supporting elements due to thermal expansion, the service life of the tubes is substantially extended.

An electrode having a dielectric coating is patterned to provide axially spaced rows of insulating material on the external surface of the electrode with one or more gaps in the insulating material of each row. The electrode is placed in a preformed hole of a turbine bucket and an electrolyte is provided for flow between the electrode and the walls of the hole. Upon application of an electrical current, portions of the material of the interior wall surface directly opposite the non-insulated portions of the electrode are dissolved, forming grooves. The insulated portions of the electrode leave axially spaced rows of projections extending toward the axis of the hole. The gaps in the rows or projections are axially misaligned. The projections form turbulators in the cooling flow passages of the bucket, enhancing the heat transfer coefficient.

The turbine casing is divided into two casing sections, each of the divided turbine casing sections being further divided into a turbine casing upper half and a turbine casing lower half, and the turbine casing lower halves of the divided turbine casing sections being connected to each other by a fastening member such as stud bolt inserted from a side of the turbine low pressure portion.

An improved spool for a compressor of a gas turbine engine comprising spacer disks disposed between adjacent rotor disks, and a plurality of hollow tie rods that extend through the rotor disks and the spacer disks. The tie rods are tensionable to provide axial preload between the disks, and also conduct active air for thermally conditioning spool components. The spacer disks have an outer portion with a catenary shape that extends between the peripheral rims of the adjacent rotor disks. Sealing teeth located on the outer portion are preferably radially aligned with a web portion that extends radially inward from a center region on the outer portion. Each tie rod has at least one aperture through its wall for transmitting active air. In one embodiment, active air is injected through apertures in the forward stub shaft of the spool and is urged into at least one space between a rotor disk and a spacer disk, then into, along, and out of the hollow tie rods. In another embodiment active air is injected into open forward ends of the tie rods and subsequently dispersed through apertures in the tie rods. The last stage of the compressor includes a pair of mating forward and aft rotor disks with a cavity formed between the disks. A portion of the active air discharged from the tie rods is circulated in the cavity and into the hollow blades which are integral with the rotor disks. A compressor discharge pressure seal extends axially to the last stage aft rotor disk. The seal has teeth which are oriented generally axially, and preferably have a fishmouth configuration.

A turbine airfoil includes a plurality of internal ribs defining at least two independent serpentine cooling circuits having outer and inner serpentine portions, respectively, in different longitudinal tiers with the outer serpentine position being disposed longitudinally above the inner tier serpentine position for differentially longitudinally cooling the airfoil. The outer and inner serpentine portions include outer and inner exits and entrances wherein the outer and inner exits are positioned aft of the outer and inner entrances, respectively, so as to have a chordal flow direction aftwards from the leading edge to the trailing edge within the serpentine portions.
摘要:
A cooled moving blade for a gas turbine which has a blade profile capable of more effectively reducing thermal stress in a blade base portion and, thus, preventing cracks from occurring. A moving blade (1) is fixedly secured to a platform (2). On the other hand, a cooling air passage (3) is formed in a serpentine pattern inside of the blade for cooling with cooling air. The moving blade (1) has a base portion of a profile formed by an elliptically curved surface (11) and a rectilinear surface portion (12), wherein the rectilinear surface portion (12) is provided at a hub portion of the blade where thermal stress is large. The cross-sectional area of the blade is increased by providing the rectilinear surface portion (12) The heat capacity is increased, compared with the conventional blade, due to the increased cross-sectional area of the blade. This, in turn, results in a decrease of the temperature difference due to the thermal stress. Thus, the thermal stress can be suppressed more effectively than with the conventional blade.
摘要:
A passively cooled blade platform for a gas turbine rotor adapted for rotation about an axis within a stationary coolant fluid. The platform has a radially outer surface defining an annular gas path, a radially inner surface in flow communication with the coolant fluid, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The inner surface includes at least one cooling flow channel in the inner surface. Each channel has a flow path from a channel inlet to a channel outlet, preferably with a tangential component at the inlet opposite to the direction of rotation and an axial component at the outlet. The flow channels are defined by ribs or pedestals extending radially inwardly from the platform inner surface to direct cooling fluid flow and create turbulence to dissipate heat from the platform on exposure to cooling fluid flow.

摘要:
The steam cooling circuit for a gas turbine includes a bore tube assembly supplying steam to circumferentially spaced radial tubes coupled to supply elbows for transitioning the radial steam flow in an axial direction along steam supply tubes adjacent the rim of the rotor. The supply tubes supply steam to circumferentially spaced manifold segments located on the aft side of the 1-2 spacer for supplying steam to the buckets of the first and second stages. Spent return steam from these buckets flows to a plurality of circumferentially spaced return manifold segments disposed on the forward face of the 1-2 spacer. Crossover tubes couple the steam supply from the steam supply manifold segments through the 1-2 spacer to the buckets of the first stage. Crossover tubes through the 1-2 spacer also return steam from the buckets of the second stage to the return manifold segments. Axially extending return tubes convey spent cooling steam from the return manifold segments to radial tubes via return elbows.
