Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a cooling tube in the vicinity of the leading edge of a turbine engine component at the outer diameter airfoil-to-platform fillet and a casting core for forming same.
  • Vanes can be subjected to severe heating conditions in the region of the fillet which extends from the leading edge of the airfoil to the platform. Increased metal temperatures in this region can lead to thermal strains and reduced part life.
  • a turbine engine component which broadly comprises an airfoil portion having a leading edge, a platform, a leading edge airfoil to platform fillet, and a cooling tube located within said fillet, which cooling tube has a flared entrance end and a flared exit end.
  • a core for forming part of a turbine engine component which core broadly comprises a first portion for forming an internal cavity within an airfoil portion of said component, a second portion for forming a leading edge boxcar in a leading edge of said airfoil portion, and a third portion for forming a cooling tube which extends between said leading edge boxcar and said internal cavity, which third portion has a flared entrance end and a flared exit end.
  • leading edge airfoil-to-platform fillet cooling tube is set forth in the following detailed description and the following drawings wherein like reference numerals depict like elements.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a turbine engine component 10, in particular a turbine vane.
  • the component 10 has an airfoil portion 12 and a platform 14.
  • the airfoil portion 12 is joined to the platform 14 by an outer diameter fillet 16 at the leading edge 18 of the airfoil portion 12.
  • the outer diameter fillet 16 was uncooled due to geometry constraints of the impingement cavity, preventing impingement heat transfer from occurring and also preventing film holes from being drilled through the fillet.
  • a new design feature has been developed that provides convective heat transfer to the outer diameter fillet 16.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a cooling configuration for the turbine engine component 10 which is comprised of three separate impingement cavities 20, also known as boxcars.
  • impingement cavities 20 also known as boxcars.
  • crossover holes 22 in the impingement rib 24 are designed to maximize heat transfer at the nose 26 of the leading edge 18.
  • Film cooling holes 28 are drilled into the leading edge impingement cavity as an additional means for cooling the airfoil portion 12.
  • the new design feature comprises a fillet cooling tube 30.
  • the cooling tube 30 connects the outer diameter of the leading edge boxcar 20 to the leading edge feed cavity 34.
  • the cross sectional area of the cooling tube 30 is to be between 25% and 100% of the cross sectional area of the impingement cavity/boxcar 20 to ensure adequate coolant velocity in the cooling tube.
  • the ends 31 and 33 of the cooling tube 30 flare out at a blend radius 36 at the junction to the boxcar 20 and the feed cavity 34. This bellmouth shape at the entrance and exit ends 31 and 33 of the tube 30 helps to minimize pressure losses of the cooling air through the cooling tube 30.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the cooling tube 30 is dependent on the cross-sectional shape of the boxcar 20 to which it is connected. Since cooling holes are drilled into the outer diameter leading edge boxcar 20, a pressure ratio exists across the fillet cooling tube 30, allowing cooling air to travel from the feed cavity 34 to the leading edge boxcar 30. The cooling air convectively cools the airfoil-to-platform fillet 16, reducing metal temperature and increasing part life.
  • a core 60 which may be used to form the leading edge boxcar(s) 20, the cavity 34 internal to the airfoil portion, and the cooling tube 30.
  • the core 60 may be formed from a ceramic material.
  • the core has a first portion 62 which forms the interior cavity 34, a leading edge portion 64 which forms the leading edge boxcar 20, a plurality of shaped portions 66 which form the cross-over holes, and an arcuate portion 68 which forms the fillet cooling tube.
  • the portion 68 has two bellmouth shaped end portions 70 and 72 which form the entrance and exit ends of the fillet cooling tube 30.
  • the fillet cooling tube 30 described herein will provide convective heat transfer in the outer diameter leading edge airfoil-to-platform fillet 16, reducing metal temperatures.
  • the impingement cavity 20 to which the fillet cooling tube is connected needs film holes 28 or other cooling features that promote a positive pressure ratio from the feed cavity 34 to the impingement cavity 20.
  • the ends 31 and 33 of the fillet cooling tube 30 are flared at the junction to the boxcar 20 and the feed cavity 34 to minimize cooling flow pressure losses as cooling air moves through the tube 30.
  • the blend radius of the flare is determined by the specific shape of the boxcar support tube.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the fillet cooling tube 30 is dependent on the cross-sectional shape of the impingement cavity (boxcar) it is connecting to.
  • the cross sectional shape of the tube 30 may be circular, elliptical, triangular, or square.
