Description
- The present invention relates to an impingement cooling configuration for T-junctions between a first wall and a second wall, the second wall requiring cooling because it is subjected to high temperatures on one side, particularly in gas turbine applications, the configuration of the invention improving heat transfer and providing a longer lifetime of the cited T-junctions.
- Components of gas turbines are subjected to very high temperature and pressure conditions, and sometimes also to a high vibration environment, which limit the lifetime of the mentioned components. For example, the blades of gas turbines are often the limiting component of gas turbines, as they are subjected to very strenuous environments inside the gas turbine, facing high temperatures, high stresses and potentially high vibration environments, which can lead to the blade failures.
- Therefore, the components that are particularly subjected to harsh conditions in gas turbines are made of high strength materials to withstand these conditions.
- Another solution, aside from the use of better materials, is to cool these components, thus decreasing their operating temperature, typically by convection cooling, passing cooling air through passages internal to the components to be cooled, so that heat is transferred by conduction first, and then by convection into the air flowing inside of the components.
- A variation of convection cooling is impingement cooling that works by hitting the inner surface of the component that has to be cooled with high velocity air that passes typically through an impingement sheet, allowing more heat to be transferred than regular convection cooling does. Impingement cooling is often used in certain areas of the gas turbine, typically subjected to very strong conditions, such as T-junctions between a web and an airfoil. However, these T-junctions cannot be properly cooled even if using this known solution of impingement cooling, as cooling is effected mainly by heat conduction through the web part, such that temperature hot spots at T-junctions subjected to a high temperature and not being properly cooled are created, causing increased stresses and reduced lifetime of these parts.
- It is known in the state of the art, as per the document "Heat transfer characteristics of an integrated cooling configuration for ultra-high temperature turbine blades: experimental and numerical investigations", a cooling configuration designed for an ultra-high temperature turbine nozzle, integrating impingement cooling and pin cooling devices for the enhancement of the effective area for the impingement cooling. However, this configuration still has hot spots having a high temperature and not having been properly cooled at T-junction parts, thus having a more limited lifetime.
- Also known in the art is "Heat transfer to a row of impinging jets in consideration of optimization", using impingement cooling in gas turbines, in order to enhance heat transfer. However, hot spots at T-junctions still exist, limiting the lifetime of the components.
-
US Patent 6,139,269 discloses a convectively cooled turbine blade having two distinct cooling air passage systems in order to improve heat transfer; however, T-junctions between the web and the airfoil still have hot spots with higher temperature, limiting lifetime of the parts. - It is known, as per document
US 7,220,103 B2 , a configuration of a gas turbine engine blade having a large fillet with thin wall and impingement rib to improve airflow, such that cooling air flows through the impinging holes in the rib and impinge on the rear surface of the fillet. This configuration is not however intended at dealing with the hot spots created at T-junctions, where heat transfer is kept low and the lifetime is drastically reduced. - The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages and limitations in the prior art, as it will be further explained.
- The present invention relates to an impingement cooling configuration for T-junctions between a first wall, for example a web or a hook, and a second wall, for example an airfoil, the second wall requiring cooling because it is subjected to high temperatures on one side, typically subjected to hot gas, particularly in gas turbines. The cooling configuration of the invention improves heat transfer and provides a longer lifetime of the cited T-junctions.
- The configuration of the invention comprises a plurality of longitudinally spaced reinforcing ribs, located at least on one of the areas where the first wall and the second wall are joined. According to another embodiment, these reinforcing ribs can be located on both areas where the first wall and the second wall are joined. An impingement sheet with a plurality of impingement holes is located over the T-junction, on the side of the first wall (opposite to the side facing the high temperatures typically from hot gas), such that cooling air is blown through the impingement holes in the impingement sheet. With this configuration, the cooling air blown impacts into the cavities generated between the longitudinally spaced ribs into the T-junction.
- According to another preferred embodiment, the wall thickness in both junction areas where the first wall and the second wall are joined forming a junction having a cross-section with a T-shape, is reduced longitudinally, all along the second wall. Another possible embodiment of the invention contemplates the reduction of the thickness in both junction areas where the first wall and the second wall are joined forming a junction having a cross-section with a T-shape, longitudinally, all along the second wall, and vertically, all along the first wall. These embodiments improve even more heat transfer of the T-junctions, therefore providing even longer lifetime for them. With these configurations, the cooling air blown impacts reduced wall thickness areas in the T-junction, impacting into the cavities with reduced thickness generated between the longitudinally spaced in the T-junction.
- With the configurations described above, the T-junction areas formed between the first wall and the second wall are provided with improved heat transfer, thus allowing a longer lifetime of these parts.
- The foregoing objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein.
-
Figure 1 shows a typical impingement cooling configuration used in T-junctions, according to the known prior art. -
Figure 2 shows the temperature distribution in a typical impingement cooling configuration for T-junctions according to the known prior art, as shown inFigure 1 , compared to the temperature distribution of a cooling configuration used in T-junctions according to the present invention. -
Figures 3a and 3b show detailed views of the impingement cooling configuration for T-junctions between a first wall (e.g. web or hook) and a second wall subjected to hot gas requiring cooling, according to the present invention. -
Figure 4 shows a detailed cross-section view of the impingement cooling configuration for T-junctions between a first wall (e.g. web or hook) and a second wall (e.g. airfoil)subjected to hot gas, according to the present invention. -
Figure 5 shows a typical configuration of T-junctions in a gas turbine vane where the cooling configuration according to the invention can be used. -
Figure 6 shows a typical configuration of T-junctions in a gas turbine blade where the cooling configuration according to the invention can be used. - The present invention discloses an impingement cooling configuration for a T-
junction 100 between a first wall 1 (e.g. web) and a second wall 2 (e.g. airfoil), thesecond wall 2 requiring cooling as it is subjected to high temperatures on one side. The cooling configuration of the invention is particularly used in gas turbines, and the side of thesecond wall 2 requiring cooling is ahot gas surface 3. The cooling configuration of the invention improves heat transfer and provides a longer lifetime of the cited T-junction 100. - According to the known prior art, shown in
Figure 1 , cooling of both first 101 and second 102 areas of the T-junction 100 is made by means of anair flow 400 passing through a plurality ofholes 40 in animpingement sheet 4. However, cooling of the first andsecond areas junction 100 is not properly done, such thathot spots 6 appear, as shown inFigure 2 . - As it can be seen in
Figures 3a and 3b , the joint of afirst wall 1 and asecond wall 2 forms a T-junction 100 having two areas, afirst area 101 and asecond area 102, located opposite thehot gas surface 3. - The configuration of the invention comprises a plurality of longitudinally spaced reinforcing
ribs 5, located at least on one of thefirst area 101 or thesecond area 102, these plurality of longitudinally spaced reinforcingribs 5 being preferably located on bothfirst area 101 andsecond area 102. Animpingement sheet 4 with a plurality ofimpingement holes 40 is located over the T-junction 100, on the side opposite to the side facing the hot gas (hot gas surface 3), such that acooling air flow 400 is blown through theimpingement holes 40 in theimpingement sheet 4. With this configuration, thecooling air flow 400 impinges into thecavities 7 generated between the longitudinally spacedribs 5 on thefirst area 101, on thesecond area 102 or on both areas, 101 and 102. Therefore, into thecavities 7 created between the T-junction 100 and the reinforcingribs 5, the impingementcooling air flow 400 is much better utilized because the cooling surface area is increased. - According to another embodiment, the configuration of the invention shown in
Figures 3a, 3b and4 , reduces the wall thickness in both junction first andsecond areas Figure 1 . The wall thickness is reduced longitudinally, preferably all along thesecond wall 2, as shown inFigure 4 . According to another embodiment of the invention, the wall thickness can be reduced longitudinally, all along thesecond wall 2, and also vertically, all along thefirst wall 1. With this configuration, thecooling air flow 400 impinges on a reduced wall thickness area (101, 102) of the T-junction 100, impinging into thecavities 7 generated between the longitudinally spacedribs 5,first wall 1 andsecond wall 2. Therefore, the impingementcooling air flow 400 is much better utilized in both thefirst area 101 and thesecond area 102 thanks to the plurality ofcavities 7, as the cooling surface area is increased. According to the invention, the reinforcingribs 5 recover some of the stiffness sacrificed by the wall thickness reduction. - With the configuration of the invention, using the same
cooling air flow 400 consumption, the temperaturehot spot 8 at the middle of theweb 1 is significantly reduced (in special cases even more than 30°C), as shown in the graph ofFigure 2 . Furthermore, this configuration allows lifetime at the T-junction 100 to be increased by around 50%, compared to its lifetime in the prior art, as shown inFigure 1 . - Although the configuration of the T-
junction 100 of the present invention has been described with reference to stator heat shields in a gas turbine, as shown inFigures 3a and 3b , the configuration of the invention can be applied to any T-junction design, for example to gas turbine vanes (shown inFigure 5 ) or to gas turbine blades (shown inFigure 6 ). - Although the present invention has been fully described in connection with preferred embodiments, it is evident that modifications may be introduced within the scope thereof, not considering this as limited by these embodiments, but by the contents of the following claims.
