Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cooling of gas turbine components, and more particularly impingement cooling of gas turbine components.
  • cooling various turbomachine components such as turbomachine components having an aerofoil, such as a vane or a blade, or for combustor liner cooling
  • conventional design uses many impingement holes spread in a large area of a cooling air channel wall or plate, also called as impingement plate, from where impingement jets are ejected directed to the target surface to be cooled, i.e. towards in inner wall of the aerofoil for cooling the aerofoil, or towards an inner wall of a platform of blade/vane for cooling the platform, or towards an outer surface of the combustor liner, etc.
  • the cooling air emerging from the impingement holes in form of impingement jets flows towards the target surface, which is to be cooled in order to impact the target surface generally normal to the surface. It is important to have an adequate velocity in the impingement jets in order for the cooling air to reach the target surface and thus to cool the target surface. Therefore to achieve adequately high velocity in the impingement jets, size of the impingement holes is required to be small but concentration of impingement holes in a given area is high to ensure adequate volume of the cooling air is available to the target surface.
  • the impingement jets delivering the cooling air to downstream sections of the target surface are subjected to strong cross flow resulting from the cooling air that has entered through the impingement jets delivering the cooling air to upstream sections of the target surface and then flowing across the longitudinally extended target surface from the upstream section to the downstream section of the longitudinally extended target surface.
  • the cross-flow affects the impingement jets delivering cooling air to the downstream sections of the combustion liner surface.
  • the flow of cooling air in the impingement jets substantially normal to the target surface is disturbed by the cross flowing cooling air which flows substantially parallel to the target surface and as a result the impingement jets delivering cooling air to the downstream sections of the target surface may not impinge on the target surface especially in the downstream sections of the longitudinally extended target surface.
  • the disturbance to the impingement jets as a result of the cross flow is increased as the cross flow gains more and more volume from the impingement jets received by the cross flow as the cross flow travels from the upstream section of the target surface to the downstream section of the target surface. Therefore, an improvement in cooling air flow in an impingement cooling arrangement for a gas turbine engine is desired.
  • the object of the present disclosure is to provide a impingement cooling arrangement for target surface cooling in a gas turbine engine such that the impingement cooling arrangement minimizes the disturbances due to the cross flow of the cooling air over longitudinally extended target surfaces that are to be cooled by impingement jets.
  • the impingement cooling arrangement includes an impingement component and a target component.
  • the target component includes a target surface that is desired to be cooled.
  • the target component may be, but not limited to, an aerofoil of a turbine blade/vane, a platform of a turbine blade/vane, a combustor liner for a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine, whereas the target surface may be, but not limited to an internal surface of the aerofoil, an internal surface of the platform, of an external surface of the combustor liner, respectively.
  • the impingement component includes one or more pluralities of impingement holes. Each plurality is linearly arranged i.e. the impingement holes of each plurality are positioned in a linear arrangement on the impingement component. Cooling air is received at the impingement component on a face of the impingement component facing away from the target component. The cooling air goes through the impingement holes that are configured to eject cooling air towards the target surface in form of impingement jets of cooling air.
  • the target component includes a target region corresponding to each plurality.
  • the target region for example a ridge shaped structure, extends outwards from the target surface towards the impingement component.
  • Each target region extends on the target surface linearly corresponding to the linear arrangement of the impingement holes of the corresponding plurality.
  • At least one trench is present on the target surface adjacent to each target region. The trench extends linearly corresponding to the linearly extending target region.
  • Each target region is arranged on the target surface such that the cooling air of the impingement jets ejected from the corresponding plurality are received on the target region and guided by the target region into the trench formed adjacent to the target region.
  • each target region is arranged on the target surface such that the cooling air of the impingement jets ejected from the corresponding plurality are received on a top part of the target region.
  • the cooling air is thereafter guided by a side surface of the target region into the trench formed adjacent to the target region.
  • the top part of the target region may be crest-shaped i.e. having an edge as the top most part of the target region or may be plateau-shaped i.e. having a flat albeit narrow surface as the top most part of the target region.
  • the cooling air after impinging on the crest-shaped or plateau shaped top part of the target region is distributed along two sides of the target region and flows into the adjacent trenches.
  • the impingement jets of cooling air are directed to a side surface of the target region.
  • the side surface of the target region is a slanting surface.
  • the cooling air after impinging on the side surface of the target region flows into the adjacent trench guided by the side surface of the target region.
  • the linear arrangements of the pluralities of the impingement holes are parallel to each other.
  • several linearly arranged pluralities of the impingement holes and their corresponding target region can be efficiently arranged without aggravating cross-flow effect in the impingement cooling arrangement.
  • the target regions and the trenches are alternatively arranged on the target surface.
  • cooling air from the impingement jets may be directed by the surface of the target region in one or both of adjacently located trenches.
  • this arrangement ensures that the target regions and the trenches are arranged efficiently for reduced cross flow effects and effective cooling.
  • a base of the trench comprises a plurality of turbulators that create turbulence in the cooling air flowing within the trench.
  • the cooling air after being directed into the trench flows along the base of the trench and the turbulators positioned on the base increase efficiency of cooling of the base which being a part of the target surface increases cooling efficiency for the target component.
  • the turbulators may have varied shapes and sizes, for example the turbulators may be pin-fins, ribs, dimples, etc.
  • either a width of the trench, or a depth of the trench, or both the width and the depth of the trench increases, preferably gradually, in a direction of flow of cooling air within the trench.
  • the depth of the trench at any given location of the trench may be understood as the shortest distance of the lowest point on the base of the trench from a surface of the impingement component positioned directly above the base.
  • the volume of the trench remains uniform, however when the depth of the trench increases in the direction of flow of cooling air within the trench, the volume of the trench also increases in the direction of flow of cooling air within the trench, thus downstream sections of the trench are capable of accommodating more cooling air flow than upstream sections of the trench.
  • the width of the trench at any given location of the trench may be understood as the linear expanse of the base of the trench at the given location in a direction perpendicular to flow direction of the cooling air.
  • the width is uniform the volume of the trench remains uniform, however when the width of the trench increases in the direction of flow of cooling air within the trench, the volume of the trench also increases in the direction of flow of cooling air within the trench, thus downstream sections of the trench are capable of accommodating more cooling air flow than upstream sections of the trench.

  • each target region 71,72,73 is arranged on the target surface 79 such that the cooling air 5 of the impingement jets 61j,62j,63j ejected from the corresponding plurality 61,62,63 are received on one of the side surfaces 75,76 or such that two impingement jets 61j,62j from two adjacent pluralities 61,62 are received on the side surfaces 75,76, of the same target region 71 as shown in FIG 10 , one on each side surface 75,76 of the target region 71.
  • the cooling air 5 is thereafter guided by the side surface 75,76 of the target region 71 into the trench 80 formed adjacent to the target region 71.
  • each trench 80 is formed generally between two opposing side surfaces 75,76 of two adjacent target regions 71,72, or may alternatively be formed between one of the side surfaces 75,76 of one of the target regions 71,72,73 and another structure. Furthermore each trench 80 has a base 81 i.e. a part of the target surface 79 between the two opposing side surfaces 75,76 of the two adjacent target regions 71,72. The base 81 meets the side surfaces 75,76 at two edges, namely a first edge 82 and a second edge 83 as shown in FIG 11 .
  • the base 81 of the trench 80 includes a plurality of turbulators 88 that create turbulence in the cooling air 5 flowing within the trench 8 in the flow direction 9.
  • the turbulators 88 may have varied shapes and sizes, for example the turbulators 88 may be pin-fins, ribs, dimples, etc.
  • the trench 80 is formed or structured such that a width 84,84' of the trench 80, and a depth 85,85' of the trench 80, is uniform in the direction 9 of flow of cooling air 5 within the trench 80.
  • the trench 80 is formed or structured such that either the width 84,84' of the trench 80, or the depth 85,85' of the trench 80, or both the width 84,84' and the depth 85,85' of the trench 80 increases, preferably gradually, in the direction 9 of flow of cooling air 5 within the trench 80.
  • FIG 11 schematically represents one such trench 80 which is formed such that the width 84,84' of the trench 80 increases gradually along the flow direction 9.
  • the width 84,84' of the trench 80 at any given location of the trench 80 may be understood as the linear expanse of the base 81 of the trench 80 at the given location in a direction perpendicular to flow direction 9 of the cooling air 5 i.e. the width 84,84' of the trench 80 at any given location of the trench 80 is the distance between the edges 82,83 of the trench 80 at that location in the direction perpendicular to flow direction 9.
  • the width 84' of the trench 80 at a downstream location is greater than the width 84 of the trench 80 at a relatively upstream location of the trench 80.
  • FIGs 12 and 13 schematically represents exemplary embodiments of the trench 80 which is formed such that the depth 85,85' of the trench 80 increases gradually along the flow direction 9.
  • the depth 85,85' of the trench 80 at any given location of the trench 80 may be understood as the shortest distance of the base 81 of the trench 80 from the second face 66 of the impingement component 60 at that location positioned directly above the base 81, as shown in FIG 13 .
  • the base 81 slants downwards along the direction 9.
  • the depth 85' of the trench 80 at a downstream location is greater than the depth 85 of the trench 80 at a relatively upstream location of the trench 80.
  • the depth 85,85' of the trench 80 at any given location of the trench 80 may be understood as the shortest distance of the base 81 of the trench 80 from the top part 74 of the target region 71,72,73 at that location positioned directly adjacent to the base 81 at that location, as shown in FIG 12 .
  • the target region 71,72,73 in this embodiment slants upwards along the direction 9.
  • the depth 85' of the trench 80 at a downstream location is greater than the depth 85 of the trench 80 at a relatively upstream location of the trench 80.
