Description
- The invention relates generally to gas turbine engines and more particularly to turbine shroud and downstream vane outer shroud cooling.
- A gas turbine engine usually includes a hot section, i.e., a turbine section which includes at least one rotor stage, for example, having a plurality of shroud segments disposed circumferentially one adjacent to another to form a shroud ring surrounding a turbine rotor, and at least one stator vane stage disposed immediately downstream and/or upstream of the rotor stage, formed with outer and inner shrouds and a plurality of radial stator vanes extending therebetween. Being exposed to very hot gases, the rotor stage and the stator vane stage need to be cooled. Since flowing coolant through the rotor and stator vane stages diminishes overall engine performance, it is typically desirable to minimize cooling flow consumption without degrading durability of components of the turbine section. Hereintofore, in various approaches for development of adequate cooling arrangements, efforts have been directed to reuse cooling air used for cooling of an upstream component of the turbine section. For example, gas turbine engine designers have been continuously seeking improved turbine section cooling arrangements for cooling turbine shroud segments, and for further reuse of the turbine shroud segment cooling air in an effective manner to cool a downstream stator vane stage.
- Accordingly, there is a need to provide an improved cooling arrangement in a gas turbine engine for effectively cooling in a serial flow relationship, both turbine shroud segments and a stator vane stage thereof.
- A turbine shroud segment having the features of the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in
US 6899518 B2 . - It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cooling arrangement in a gas turbine engine for cooling a portion of an outer wall of an annular gas path of a turbine section.
- The present invention therefore provides a turbine shroud segment as set forth in claim 1.
- The present invention also provides gas turbine engine structure as set forth in claim 6.
- The present invention also provides a method of reusing turbine shroud cooling air for impingement cooling on a downstream turbine vane outer shroud as set forth in
claim 10. - These and other aspects of the present invention will be better understood with reference to preferred embodiments described hereinafter.
- Reference is now made to the accompanying figures depicting aspects of the present invention, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a gas turbine engine; -
Figure 2 is an axial cross-sectional view of a turbine shroud assembly used in the gas turbine engine ofFigure 1 , in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and -
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a shroud segment used in the turbine shroud assembly ofFigure 2 . - Referring to
Figure 1 , a turbofan gas turbine engine incorporates an embodiment of the present invention, presented as an example of the application of the present invention, and includes a housing or anacelle 10, acore casing 13, a low pressure spool assembly seen generally at 12 which includes afan 14,low pressure compressor 16 andlow pressure turbine 18, and a high pressure spool assembly seen generally at 20 which includes ahigh pressure compressor 22 and a high pressure turbine 24. There is provided aburner 25 for generating combustion gases. Thelow pressure turbine 18 and high pressure turbine 24 include a plurality ofrotor stages 28 andstator vane stages 30. - Referring to
Figures 1-3 , each of therotor stages 28 has a plurality ofrotor blades 33 encircled by aturbine shroud assembly 32 and each of thestator vane stages 30 includes astator vane assembly 34 which is positioned upstream and/or downstream of a rotor stage 31, for directing combustion gases into or out of anannular gas path 36 within a correspondingturbine shroud assembly 32, and through the corresponding rotor stage 31. - The
stator vane assembly 34, for example a first stage of a low pressure turbine (LPT) vane assembly, is disposed, for example, downstream of theshroud assembly 32 of onerotor stage 28, and includes, for example a plurality of stator vane segments (not indicated) joined one to another in a circumferential direction to form a turbine vaneouter shroud 38 which comprises a plurality of axial stator vanes 40 (only a portion of one is shown) which divide a downstream section of theannular gas path 36 relative to therotor stage 28, into sectoral gas passages for directing combustion gas flow out of therotor stage 28. - The
shroud assembly 32 in therotor stage 28 includes a plurality of shroud segments 42 (only one shown) each of which includes aplatform 44 having front and rearradial legs shroud segments 42 are joined one to another in a circumferential direction and thereby form theshroud assembly 32. - The
platform 44 of eachshroud segment 42 has outer andinner surfaces trailing ends opposite sides platforms 44 of the segments collectively form a turbine shroud ring (not indicated) which encircles therotor blades 33 and in combination with therotor stage 28, defines a section of theannular gas path 36. The turbine shroud ring is disposed immediately upstream of and abuts the turbine vaneouter shroud 38, to thereby form a portion of an outer wall (not indicated) of theannular gas path 36. - The front and rear
radial legs outer surface 50 radially and outwardly such that the hooks of the front a rearradial legs shroud support structure 62 which is formed with a plurality of shroud support segments (not indicated) and is in turn supported within thecore casing 13. Anannular cavity 64 is thus defined axially between the front andrear legs platforms 44 of theshroud segments 42 and the annularshroud support structure 62. The annular middle cavity is in fluid communication with a cooling air source, for example bleed air from the low orhigh pressure compressors annular cavity 64. - The
platform 44 of eachshroud segment 42 preferably includes a passage, for example a plurality ofholes 66 extending axially within theplatform 44 for directing cooling air therethrough for transpiration cooling of theplatform 44. For convenience of the hole drilling, agroove 68 extending in a circumferential direction with opposite ends closed is provided, for example, on theouter surface 50 of theplatform 44 such thatholes 66 can be drilled from thetrailing end 56 of the platform straightly and axially towards and terminate at thegroove 68. Thus, thegroove 68 forms a common inlet of theholes 66 for intake of cooling air accommodated within thecavity 64. However, other types of outlets can be made to achieve the convenience of the hole drilling process. It is also preferable to provide one or more outlets of theholes 66 in order to adequately discharge the cooling air from theholes 66 and reduce the contact surface of the trailingend 56 of theplatform 44 of theshroud segments 42 with respect to the turbine vaneouter shroud 38. For example, anelongate recess 70 is provided in thetrailing end 56 of theplatform 44 with an opening on theinner surface 52 of theplatform 44, thereby forming a common outlet of theholes 66 to discharge the cooling air, for example to thegas path 36. Other types of outlets can be used for adequately discharging the cooling air from theholes 66. - The
groove 68 is in fluid communication with themiddle cavity 64 and thus cooling air introduced into thecavity 64 is directed into and through theaxial holes 66 for effectively cooling theplatform 44 of theshroud segments 42. The cooling air is then discharged through theelongate recess 70 at thetrailing end 56 of theplatform 42, impinging on a downstream engine part such as the turbine vaneouter shroud 38, before entering thegas path 36. - The
groove 68 which functions as the common inlet of theholes 66 is preferably located close to thefront leg 46 such that theholes 66 extend through a major section of the entire axial length of theplatform 44 of theshroud segment 42, thereby efficiently cooling theplatform 44 of theshroud segment 42. - The
holes 66 are preferably substantially evenly spaced apart in a circumferential direction and are preferably aligned with the turbine vane outer shroud. Thus, the cooling air impinges on the leading end of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38. The number ofholes 66 in eachshroud segment 42 is determined such that the cooling air discharged from theholes 66 effectively cools the entire circumference of the leading end of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38. - During engine operation, cooling air introduced into the
cavity 64 is directed within and through theplatforms 44 of theshroud segments 42 via theholes 66, in order to cool the turbine shroud ring. Simultaneous with cooling of the turbine shroud ring, cooling air flowing through the substantially axialstraight holes 66 forms a plurality of substantially straight axial cooling air streams directed towards the leading end of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38, preferably with a high velocity thereof, for impingement cooling on the turbine vaneouter shroud 38. In contrast to conventional impingement holes defined in a plate, the substantially axialstraight holes 66 direct the cooling air through the entire length thereof, thereby forming substantially straight cooling air streams with relatively high directionality. In other words, the substantially straight cooling air streams are more individually focused and interfere less with adjacent air streams when approaching the leading end of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38, which results in greater impingement effects on the leading end of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38. Due to the restriction of theelongate recess 70 in thetrailing end 56 of theplatforms 44, the cooling air upon impingement on the leading end of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38, is then directed radially, inwardly and rearwardly, thereby further film cooling a front portion of the inner surface of the turbine vaneouter shroud 38 and a portion of theaxial stator vanes 40, prior to being discharged into theannular gas path 36. - The above description is meant to be exemplary only, and one skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made to the embodiments described without departure from the scope of the invention disclosed. For example, the present invention can be applicable in any type of gas turbine engine other than the described turbofan gas turbine engine. Other modifications which fall within the scope of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, in light of a review of this disclosure, and such modifications are intended to fall within the appended claims.
