摘要:
A shroud segment is adapted to surround a row of rotating turbine blades in a gas turbine engine. The shroud segment includes: an arcuate, axially extending first mounting flange having a first radius of curvature, and an arcuate, axially extending first overhang having a second radius of curvature. The overhang is disposed parallel to and radially inboard of the first mounting flange so that a first groove is defined between the first mounting flange and the first overhang. The first and second radii of curvature are substantially different from each other. The shroud segment may attached to a supporting structure or shroud hanger to form a shroud assembly.

A shroud assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine that has a temperature at a hot operating condition substantially greater than at a cold assembly condition thereof. The shroud assembly includes: at least one arcuate shroud segment adapted to surround a row of rotating turbine blades which has an arcuate, axially extending mounting flange; a shroud hanger having an arcuate, axially-extending hook disposed in mating relationship to the mounting flange; and an arcuate C-clip having inner and outer arms overlapping the hook and the mounting flange. The curvatures of the mounting flange and the inner arm of the C-clip are selected so as to define a matched interface therebetween. Their curvatures are substantially greater that the curvature of the hook.

A C-clip for a gas turbine engine includes an arcuate outer arm having a first radius of curvature; an arcuate, inner arm having a second radius of curvature which is substantially greater than the first radius of curvature; and an arcuate extending flange connecting the outer and inner arms. The flange, the outer arm, and the inner arm collectively define a generally C-shaped cross-section. A shroud assembly includes a shroud segment with a mounting flange, and a shroud hanger with an arcuate hook disposed in mating relationship to the mounting flange. An arcuate C-clip having inner and outer arms overlaps the hook and the mounting flange. The shroud segment and the C-clip are subject to thermal expansion at the hot operating condition. A dimension of one of the shroud segment and the C-clip are selected to produce a preselected dimensional relationship therebetween at the hot operating condition.

A cooled turbine shroud includes an arcuate flow path surface adapted to surround a row of rotating turbine blades, and an opposed interior surface; a forward overhang defining an axially-facing leading edge, an outwardly-extending forward wall and an outwardly-extending aft wall; opposed first and second sidewalls, wherein the forward and aft walls and the sidewalls define an open shroud plenum; at least one leading edge cooling hole extending from the shroud plenum to the leading edge; and at least one sidewall cooling hole extending from the plenum to one of the sidewalls. The flow path surface is free of cooling holes and may include a protective coating applied thereto.
摘要:
An article, for example a turbine engine component such as a shroud, airfoil, etc., comprises a wall having a first wall surface subject to a first temperature, for example from the flow stream of the engine. The wall includes a second wall surface, substantially opposite the first wall surface, for exposure to a cooling fluid, for example cooling air. The second wall surface includes a plurality of adjacent ribs protruding from the second wall surface to facilitate transfer of heat from the second wall surface. The ribs comprise a plurality of elongated rib portions each spaced apart one from another across a gap between rib portions, the gaps having a gap length in the range of about 0.002-0.05″.

A component in a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending radially outwardly from a platform associated with the airfoil. The airfoil includes opposed pressure and suction sidewalls, which converge at a first location defined at a leading edge of the airfoil and at a second location defined at a trailing edge of the airfoil opposed from the leading edge. The component includes a built-up surface adjacent to the leading edge at an intersection between the pressure sidewall and the platform, and at least one cooling passage at least partially within the built-up surface at the intersection between the pressure sidewall and the platform. The at least one cooling passage is in fluid communication with a main cooling channel within the airfoil and has an outlet at the platform for providing cooling fluid directly from the main cooling channel to the platform.

A turbine vane includes a generally elongated hollow airfoil and a cooling system. The cooling system is positioned within the airfoil and includes a cooling chamber and an impingement insert positioned in the cooling chamber. The impingement insert and an inner surface of an outer wall of the airfoil define a cooling channel therebetween. The impingement insert includes a plurality of impingement nozzles extending toward the inner surface of the outer wall and a plurality of impingement orifices. At least one of the impingement orifices is arranged in a non-aligned pattern with respect to at least one adjacent impingement orifice such that cooling fluid passing out of the at least one impingement orifice does not directly flow into a centerline of a cooling fluid flowpath of cooling fluid passing out of the at least one adjacent impingement orifice.

A seal member for effecting a seal preventing fluid flow in an axial direction through an annular space formed between two relatively moving components including a rotatable shaft and a stator structure. The seal member includes a plurality of flexible seal strips. Each seal strip includes a planar plate extending radially through the annular space and having a radially outer end supported to the stator structure and a radially inner end defining a tip portion extending widthwise in the axial direction engaged in sliding contact with a peripheral surface of the rotatable shaft. At least one of the seal strips includes a plurality of perforations extending through the seal strip and located between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the seal strip for effecting an increased flexibility of the seal strip adjacent to the tip portion.
摘要:
A cooling system for a transition duct for routing a gas flow from a combustor to the first stage of a turbine section in a combustion turbine engine is disclosed. The transition duct may have a multi-panel outer wall formed from an inner panel having an inner surface that defines at least a portion of a hot gas path plenum and an intermediate panel positioned radially outward from the inner panel such that at least one cooling chamber is formed between the inner and intermediate panels. The transition duct may also include an outer panel. The inner, intermediate and outer panels may include one or more metering holes for passing cooling fluids between cooling chambers for cooling the panels. The intermediate and outer panels may be secured with an attachment system coupling the panels to the inner panel such that the intermediate and outer panels may move in-plane.
