Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a turbine blade which has at least one chamber and at least one feeder for loading the chamber with has a cooling medium, at least one feed runs at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the turbine blade. It also relates to a turbine blade, in particular for a gas turbine that has at least one chamber and at least one a feed to apply a cooling medium to the chamber having.
  • Such a method and such a turbine blade are known from US 5,599,166.
  • the turbine blade has two separate, meandering chambers on, each with a feed for loading with are connected to a coolant.
  • the two feeders run essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbine blade.
  • US 5,413,458 describes another turbine blade which likewise at least one chamber for the application of a Has cooling medium.
  • the cooling medium is in one Direction fed, which is also essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbine blade.
  • a disadvantage of the known turbine blades and manufacturing processes is the imperative to determine the direction of the Feed.
  • the turbine blades generally have a Wing profile on that of a crossing the turbine Medium flows around.
  • To attach to a housing or a platform serves as a rotor.
  • the cooling medium must first the platform flow through before it enters the wing profile. This leads to the platform and the airfoil always must be cooled with the same cooling medium, in particular with a cooling medium that has the same pressure and temperature having. A targeted cooling of more demanding Part of the turbine blade is not possible.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a method for the manufacture of a turbine blade and a turbine blade itself to provide a targeted exposure enable with a cooling medium.
  • this object is achieved in a method of type mentioned solved in that to form the A core is used with one approach and the feed Approach is spaced from a shape so that the Feeding the turbine blade after removal from the Form is closed, and that post-processing to expose the feed is made.
  • Turbine blade is provided that the feed is angled to a longitudinal axis of the turbine blade and essentially parallel to a direction of flow of a medium the turbine runs.
  • the one or more used to manufacture the turbine blade Cores are inserted and held in the mold as before.
  • the cores are supported in the form over the base not before.
  • the cores can therefore, as in the known Move the process during the pouring process. An interference the core position through a contact between the approach and the form is not there.
  • the invention deviates for the first time from the concept of the feeders essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbine blade from.
  • a feeder is provided that is angled is arranged to the longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to a direction of flow of the medium through the turbine. This feed is a targeted application highly stressed parts of the turbine blade with a cooling medium allows.
  • a second is preferred in the method according to the invention Feed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbine blade intended.
  • the two feeders can then with different cooling media. This Difference can be particularly in pressure and / or temperature of the coolant supplied in each case. It results targeted, highly efficient cooling of individuals Parts of the turbine blade.
  • the feeders can be on a Leading edge, a trailing edge or both edges of the Turbine blade to be arranged. Through the targeted arrangement the turbine blade can be optimally cooled.
  • the is at an angle to Longitudinal axis tapered, especially conical. It then has a relatively large one Inlet cross-section.
  • the cooling medium can therefore comparatively low pressure to be fed and is compressed as it flows in.
  • the feeder is designed that flow losses are minimized.
  • the feed extending in the axial direction is advantageous between a platform and a wing profile of the turbine blade arranged.
  • the fed through this feed Cooling medium can thus directly in the wing profile enter.
  • the second one then serves to cool the platform, feed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the proposed distribution of the cooling medium according to the invention is particularly advantageous in the case of a turbine blade which has at least two chambers.
  • the first chamber is then there with the first feed and the second chamber with the second Feeder in connection.
  • the first chamber is here advantageous in the area of a front edge of the turbine blade arranged.
  • This arranged in the area of the front edge has in generally a higher cooling requirement than the second chamber. If the front edge is provided with openings through which the cooling medium can leak, must also be applied with a cooling medium of higher pressure. reason for this is that the cooling medium to flow out of the first Chamber the steel pressure of the medium flowing through the turbine must overcome. According to the first chamber can now the first supply with a cooling medium with higher Pressure as the second chamber. This first Chamber can thus be specifically cooled more. This Cooling effort is not required for the second chamber. It can therefore optimize the consumption of the cooling medium and thereby the overall efficiency can be increased. alternative or in addition, targeted cooling of the rear edge respectively.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic longitudinal section through a Gas turbine 10 with a housing 11 and a rotor 12. On the housing 11 are rows of guide vanes 13 and on the rotor 12 Rows of blades 14 are provided.

  • the present invention is not based on a guide vane 13 is limited, but can also with a Blade 14 are used.
  • Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section and Figure 3 shows a cross section through a guide vane 13.
  • the guide vane 13 has a platform 38 for attachment to the housing 11 and a wing profile 39 on which the hot gas flows.
  • This Wing profile 39 is supported by a suction-side wall 20 and a pressure side wall 21 is formed.
  • Between the walls 20, 21 are a first chamber 22 and three others, together communicating chambers 23, 24, 25 are provided.
  • the individual chambers 22, 23, 24, 25 are separated from one another by walls 26 Cut.
  • a retrofitted one is used for covering Platform 38, for example in the form of a sheet or Perforated plate.
  • the first chamber 22 is here on a front edge 32 of the wing profile 39 of the guide vane 13 is arranged.
  • the chamber 23 servess to apply a cooling medium to the chamber 22 an approach 30 that forms a supply for the cooling medium.
  • the chamber 23 is supplied with a cooling medium via openings 31, that successively the first chamber 23 and then the Flows through chambers 24, 25.
  • the openings 34 also form a feeder.
  • the cooling medium is according to the chamber 22 Arrow direction 18 approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 37 of the Guide vane 13 supplied. Acting on chamber 23 takes place in the direction of arrow 19 approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the approach 30 allows feeding between the platform 38 and the wing profile 39.
  • the chamber 22 is filled with a cooling medium of a higher pressure the chamber 23 acts.
  • the reason for this is that this chamber 22 in the area of the highly stressed leading edge 32 of the Guide vane 13 is located.
  • the higher pressure level is special required when chamber 22 has a series of Openings 27, 28 is provided. Through these openings it can Coolant emerge and form a cooling film that runs along of the walls 20, 21 extends in the region of the front edge 32. Since the leading edge 32 flows directly from the hot gas not only the static pressure of the hot gas, but also to overcome its back pressure.
  • Gap 29 In the area of a rear edge 34 of the guide vane 13 there is a Gap 29 provided.
  • the chamber enters through this gap 23 supplied cooling medium. Since the gap 29 only with the static pressure of the hot gas is applied to the cooling of the chambers 23, 24, 25 a lower pressure of the Cooling medium sufficient.
  • the turbine blade 13, 14 according to the invention is thus the more heavily used chamber 22 with a higher cooling medium Pressure cooled than the other chambers 23, 24, 25.

  • Both approaches 30a, 30b are conical and flow-friendly educated.
  • the supplied via the approaches 30a, 30b Cooling medium acts in each case on chambers 22, 25 which are in the Area of the front edge 32 or the rear edge 34 lie.
  • the middle area with the chambers 23, 24 is via a feed 31 applied substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 37.
