Definitions
- This invention relates to a combustion turbine and in particular to an airfoil-shaped, hollow turbine vane having a leading edge wall.
- Such turbine airfoil vanes provided with an insert, with the arrangement as a whole providing for air cooling of the vanes.
- the vane structure is of a character and in a stage calling for a low or a moderate level of cooling, which level of cooling can be carried out by the use of impingement jets directed against the interior walls of the vane. Even with those vanes which do not require a high level of cooling, the degree of cooling required at different locations on the vane may differ, with the leading edge region of the vane typically having a relatively higher heat load while downstream and toward the trailing edge of the vane the heat load may be significantly lower.
- French Patent No. 2,457,965 discloses turbine blades with inserts defining a front chamber to which a cooling gas is supplied and escapes partially through passages in the leading edge of the blade and partially into a space between the insert in the front chamber and the blade wall. The cooling gas then enters the interior of an insert in the rear chamber from where the cooling gas is discharged through openings therein into a space formed between the insert and the blade walls before it is discharged through openings in the trailing edge of the blade.
- U.S. Patent 2,873,944 also discloses turbine blades or vanes with cooling air guide inserts defining different chambers provided with openings for even distribution of the cooling air to the inner surfaces of the blade or vane walls.
- the present invention resides in a combustion turbine with airfoil-shaped, hollow, turbine vanes having leading edge walls, trailing edge portions with exit air slots therein, and pressure and suction sidewalls defining internal cavities in communication with said exit air slots, with hollow inserts of substantially complementary airfoil shape in cross section located in said cavities and extending in a chordwise direction for substantially the entire extent of said cavities in spaced relationship from the walls thereof, characterized in that said inserts are single unitary structures with a plurality of radially extending partitions in each insert dividing the interior thereof into a forward chamber in the leading edge portion of said vane, and at least two separate, successively rearward chambers in communication with each other, a plurality of impingement ports in the insert walls of all of the said chambers, one radial end portion of said chambers being in communication with a source of cooling air, and that for throttling the flow into said rearward chambers are provided such that said forward chamber is at a relatively higher pressure than said rearward chambers and the imp
- the single, unitary, air-cooling, hollow insert 22 has an airfoil shape in cross section which is complementary to the vane airfoil shape, and extends in a chordwise direction for substantially the entire extent of the vane cavity. While the insert does have the overall shape of an airfoil, it may be seen in Figure 1 that at the leading edge portion 24 the insert is bulged somewhat, a similar bulged arrangement being provided at the trailing edge portion 26.
- the intermediate portion 28 has walls which are basically uniformly spaced from the vane wails throughout the intermediate extent between the front and rear bulges.
- the unitary insert 22 has its interior divided into a forward chamber 30 and successively rearward chambers 32, 34, and 36, by the radially-extending partition means 38, 40, and 42, which also perform a structural tying function.
- the radially inner ends of all of the chambers are closed while the radially outer ends of the chambers are in communication with a source of cooling air.
- the radially outer end 44 is completely open so that cooling air flows directly into the forward chamber 30 as indicated by the arrow 46 in Figure 2.
- the flow into these chambers is throttled by means of a radial extension 48 of the insert comprising opposite walls 50 capped by plate 52 which prevents the direct admission of the cooling air into the rearward chambers in the fashion in which the forward chambers receives its air, the cooling air being throttled into the rearward chambers by the provision of the holes 54 in the walls 50.
- the throttling results in the rearward chambers being at a lower pressure than the forward chamber 30.
- all of the chambers are provided with impingement ports in their sidewalls.
- Those ports provided in the forward chamber sidewalls are identified by the numeral 56 as best seen in Figre 1.
- the impingement ports in the convex sidewall of the insert for the rearward chambers are designated 58 while those in the concave wall are designated 60.
- All of the impingement ports are in rows which extend substantially radially.
- the rows of ports 56 of the forward chamber are more widely spaced from each other than the rows of ports from-the rearward chambers on the convex side, and most of the concave side with the exception of the spacing of the rows of ports of the concave side of the first low-pressure chamber 32.
- the three rearward chambers are open to each other through the provision of a series of ports 62 in both of the partitions or ribs 40 and 42.
- the rearward chambers are also in open communication with each other at the radially outer portion of the chambers by virtue of the partitions 40 and 42 stopping short of the space 64 at the radially outer ends of the chambers.
- the insert has dimples 66 embossed outwardly in its leading edge portion and similar dimples 68 in its trailing edge portion to properly space the insert walls from the vane walls.
- the forward chamber 30 is maintained at a higher pressure than the rearward chambers 32, 34, and 36, so that the cooling jets issuing from the forward chamber are projected at a higher velocity than those exiting through the ports of the rearward chambers so that the higher velocity jets are projected at the higher heat load leading edge and forward convex surface areas of the vane, while the jets issuing from the lower pressure rearward chambers are projected at a lower velocity for cooling the relativeiy lower heat load regions of the airfoil vane.
- the relatively closer spaced rows of ports throughout the midchord region is to obtain more uniform cooling than would be obtained with widely-spaced high velocity jets.
- Typical pressures at which the chambers can be maintained may be in order of, for example, 160 psig (1102 E+03Pa) for the forward chamber, 155 psig (1068 E+03Pa) for the rearward chambers, with the pressures in the spaces between the insert and the opposing vane walls being 150 psig (1033 E+03Pa).
