Abstract: An airfoil assembly includes a vane that includes an outer platform, an inner platform, and an airfoil. The outer platform defines an outer boundary of a gas path. The inner platform is spaced apart axially from the outer platform relative to an axis and defines an inner boundary of the gas path. The airfoil extends axially between and interconnects the outer platform and the inner platform.

Abstract: An airfoil, such as a vane or a blade for a gas turbine engine, may be provided. The airfoil may include a platform; a spar; a fillet; and a coversheet. The spar may include a passageway inside of the spar for a cooling fluid, a pedestal on an outer surface of the spar, and a spar hole configured to direct the cooling fluid from the passageway to the outer surface of the spar. The fillet may be located at the intersection of the platform and the spar, and may couple the spar to the platform. The fillet and/or the coversheet may include a protrusion extending along the edge of the coversheet. The protrusion, along with the pedestal and the outer surface of the spar, may define a purge groove. The purge groove and a purge groove outlet may form a cooling path for cooling fluid to flow onto the platform.

Abstract: Airfoils and methods of cooling an airfoil are provided. The airfoil may comprise a spar; a coversheet on the spar; and a dual feed circuit between the spar and the coversheet. The dual feed circuit may include a first dam, a second dam spaced apart from the first dam along the chord axis of the spar, a first inlet disposed adjacent to the first dam, a second inlet disposed adjacent to the second dam, a circuit outlet disposed between the first inlet and the second inlet, and a plurality of diamond and/or hexagonal pedestals disposed on an outer surface of the spar. The diamond and/or hexagonal pedestals may form a plurality of cooling channels between the first inlet, the second inlet, and the circuit outlet. There may be no other circuit inlets are located between the first inlet and the second inlet.

Abstract: An endwall assembly disposed at one end of a vane assembly may comprise an endwall spar that includes an cold side, an hot side, a leading edge, a trailing edge, and an axis extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge perpendicular to the leading edge. The endwall assembly may include a coversheet on the hot side of the endwall spar and a cooling channel that includes a cooling fluid inlet disposed in the endwall spar, and a cooling fluid outlet. The endwall assembly may include a structure protruding from the cold side of the endwall spar, wherein the structure is located between the cooling fluid inlet and the cooling fluid outlet along the axis; and a cooling fluid source cavity on the cold side of the wall, the cooling fluid source cavity in fluid communication with the cooling fluid channel via the cooling fluid inlet.

IPC: F01D5/18
Abstract: A system includes an air foil positionable in a combustion flow path of a combustion turbine. A shank may be integrally formed with the air foil, and the platform may be integrally formed with the shank. The platform includes linear fluid passageways, access ducts penetrating a wedge face surface of the platform, and outlet apertures formed in a radially outward surface of the platform. The outlet apertures are in fluid communication with respective linear fluid passageways such that fluid flowing through the respective linear fluid passageways is discharged from the outlet apertures into the combustion flow path. The platform also includes plugs is disposed in respective access ducts to form a fluid tight seal and be positioned in at least one of the respective linear fluid passageways. Fluid flowing through the respective linear fluid passageways flows away from a respective plug for discharge from a respective outlet aperture.
