Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rotor blades in a combustion turbine and more particularly to coolant systems therefor.
  • Rotating turbine blades are frequently cooled with air flowing radially outward through a plurality of holes which pass from the blade root to the blade tip.
  • the holes typically have either a constant diameter along the airfoil and root portions of the holes or a first constant diameter along the airfoil portion and a second constant diameter along the root portion of the holes.
  • the diameter of the hole along the root portion typically being larger to avoid pressure loss in a region that does not require appreciable cooling.
  • the airfoil portions of the coolant holes need to be relatively small in cross section to produce the high coolant velocity and heat transfer coefficient required there.
  • the critical design region of the blade for both stress and cooling is the center span portion of the blade, and the hole diameter, the number of holes and the coolant flow are normally set by design considerations. Since the coolant heats up appreciably as it flows outwardly along the blade, having received heat from the hot blade path gas, the coolant temperature at the center span region becomes considerably higher than the coolant temperature near the blade hub.
  • the lower coolant temperature near the blade hub tends to cool the blade to a lower temperature than is needed from the standpoint of stress design.
  • Overcoo'ling near the blade hub means the coolant absorbs more heat than necessary from the hub region which results in increased coolant temperature in the center span region and thus higher coolant flows and/or higher metal temperatures than if the overcooling did not occur.
  • overcooling since reduced centrifugal stress usually more than offsets the coolant heatup in the blade tip region, overcooling also tends to occur there.
  • An important consequence of overcooling in both the hub and tip regions is a higher level of pressure loss than would be encountered if the coolant flow per unit of flow area in overcooled regions were reduced to produce a heat transfer level matching the cooling requirements.
  • Reduction of pressure loss in overcooled regions would make possible higher cooling flow per unit of flow area in the mid-span region in order to provide increased cooling for a given supply pressure at the blade root. This can be translated into a design for higher turbine inlet temperature or one with reduced cooling flow for given turbine inlet temperatures.
  • cores are typically used to form the radial coolant holes in a blade. Structural weakness of the cores has resulted in core breakage and blade scrapping more frequently than desirable thereby adding to per unit manufacturing costs of blades.
  • the present invention resides in a combustion turbine rotor blade having a root portion and an airfoil portion extending therefrom, said airfoil portion having a plurality of coolant holes extending from said root portion along its span to its tip to provide flow of coolant therethrough from said root portion, each of said coolant holes having an inner hub portion and a second portion extending outwardly from said hub portion, characterized by said hub and second hole portions having relative flow areas which cause the coolant to have reduced flow per unit of flow area in said hub hole portion relative to the coolant flow per unit of flow area through said second hole portion over a mid-span region of said blade thereby avoiding hub blade region overcooling.
  • FIG. 1 a combustion turbine blade 10 having a root portion 12 and an airfoil portion 14 arranged in accordance with the principles of the invention.
  • Coolant holes or channels 16 extend radially outwardly along the span of the blade. Air flow supplied from complementary coolant holes in the blade root and directed outwardly along the coolant holes 16 cools the blade airfoil portion 14 and its surface which is exposed to the hot blade path gas.
  • a center span portion 18 of the blade airfoil is the critical design region for which the number of holes, the hole diameter and the coolant flow are set to meet its cooling needs.
  • the total blade coolant system structure is then designed to support the critical region needs.
  • the temperature of the coolant in the holes 16 is lower in a blade hub region 20 than in the mid-span region 18 because the coolant heats up as it flows outwardly along the blade.
  • the lower temperature coolant tends to overcool the blade hub 20 resulting in coolant temperature in the mid-span region 18 being higher than it would be if overcooling did not occur.
  • coolant flow and/or metal temperature is higher than it could be if coolant temperature rise were reduced with the elimination of overcooling.
  • blade hub overcooling is substantially reduced or eliminated to permit lower coolant flow and/or lower metal temperature resulting in greater cooling and turbine efficiency.
  • the coolant hole 16 includes a hub portion 22 and an outer portion 24 which extends from the hub portion 22 through the blade mid-span region to the blade tip 26.
  • the hub portion 22 of the coolant hole 16 is tapered from a first diameter at its inlet end to a smaller diameter where it joins the outer hole portion 24.
  • the diameter of the outer hole portion 24 is substantially constant along its length.
  • the hole flow area in the hub region 20 is increased relative to the hole flow area in the mid-span region 18.
  • Reduced coolant flow per unit of flow area in the hub region 20 reduces the hub region heat transfer coefficient and the amount of cooling.
  • Turbine and blade design parameters determine the amount and length of taper to reduce or substantially eliminate overcooling in the hub region 20.
  • Tapering of the coolant holes also reduces pressure loss in the coolant holes. Accordingly, higher flow per unit of flow area is obtained in the mid-span. region to obtain lower metal temperature for a given supply pressure at the blade root. Spanwise hole cooling technology can thus be employed with higher turbine inlet temperature levels. The higher flow per unit of flow area in the design section can also be used to reduce cooling flow for a given level of turbine inlet temperatures.
  • a coolant hole 16a includes a tapered hub portion 22a, a constant diameter mid-span portion 24a and a tip portion 25a which is tapered outwardly in the direction of coolant flow.
  • the constant diameter mid-span portion 24a can be eliminated from the hole 16a so that the hole 16a is formed by the oppositely tapered portions 22a and 25a in end-to- end relation.
  • the junction point of the hole portions 22a and 25a in this alternative would be determined by stress and heat transfer considerations.
  • the tapered hole portions be provided with continuous tapering, either linear as shown or nonlinear as warranted by design considerations.
  • the coolant holes have a circular cross-section but the invention can be implemented with non-circular cross- sections.
  • FIG 4 there is shown another embodiment of the invention in which a coolant hole 16b has a stepped configuration to provide a varying cross-section along its length for substantially reduced blade region overcooling.
  • the coolant hole 16b includes a hub portion 22b having an inner section 22bl having a first diameter and an outer section 22b2 having a lesser diameter.
  • a mid-span section 24b having a further reduced diameter adjoins the outer hub section 22b2.
  • a tip portion 25b of the coolant hole 16b has a first section 25bl and a second section 25b2 with successively greater diameters.
  • tapered blade coolant holes provides a further advantage by permitting the blades to be manufactured by casting processes using cores for coolant hole formation.
  • tapered cores can be employed to form the coolant holes 16 and 16a, and tapered cores with larger diameter in the hub and tip region are characteristically stronger than cores conventionally used to form constant diameter coolant holes in the airfoil. With stronger cores, there is reduced core breakage, reduced blade scrapping and reduced manufacturing costs.
  • the stronger tapered cores permit manufacture of smaller hole diameters in the mid-span portion of the coolant holes. In turn, improved blade cooling and reduced blade coolant flow can be realized.
