Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a turbine component such as, for example, turbine rotor blades and stator vanes, and to a cooling concept useable in such components for cooling purposes.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a component.
  • High temperature turbines may include hollow blades or vanes incorporating cooling channels, inserts and pedestals or other features for cooling purposes.
  • Internal cooling is designed to provide efficient transfer of heat between the gas washed surface and the flow of cooling air within. As heat transfer efficiency improves, for example, less cooling air may be necessary to adequately cool the aerofoils.
  • Internal cooling typically includes structures to improve heat transfer efficiency including, for example, impingement tubes or pedestals (also known as pin fins).
  • the heat load acting on the aerofoil can be further reduced by adding a thermal barrier coating (TBC) on the outermost surface of the aerofoil being directly exposed to the hot gas path during operation of the turbine.
  • TBC thermal barrier coating
  • an advantageous turbine component such as, for example, a turbine rotor blade and a stator vane with which the above-mentioned shortcomings can be mitigated, and especially, a high cooling efficiency can be realised and thus, for example, a more aerodynamic efficient component can be provided.
  • the present invention provides a turbine component comprising a base body having at least one cavity providing a flow path for a cooling medium and at least one wall at least partially surrounding the at least one cavity and wherein the at least one wall has an inner surface being oriented towards the at least one cavity and an outer surface being oriented opposed to the inner surface of the at least one wall, wherein the at least one turbine component further comprises at least one layer of porous material and at least one thermal barrier coating, wherein the at least one layer of porous material is arranged on the outer surface of the at least one wall of the base body and the thermal barrier coating is arranged at least partially on top of the at least one layer of porous material.
  • the cooling efficiency can be enhanced in comparison with state of the art systems. This will enhance a component life and thus will ensure a reliable operation of a turbine engine comprising the inventive turbine component.
  • a porous material Due to its large relative heat transfer area a porous material is a very efficient way of creating a heat sink. If this advantage can be combined with the heat flux reduction from the gas flow to the turbine component using a thermal barrier coating an extremely efficient convective cooling system can be designed. Moreover, the arrangement of the thermal barrier coating directly on top of the layer of porous material would arrange the cooling system as close to the heat load at/in the turbine component as possible and thus avoid transport of heat through material, which would create thermal gradients in the metal. Furthermore, this arrangement provides the possibility to clean out the excess powder remaining in the structure after a for example employed additive manufacturing process. This also improves the reliability in the manufacturing process. Further, a lower amount of cooling medium may be needed in comparison with state of the art systems. Hence, the aerodynamic efficiency will be increased.
  • thermodynamics of the cycle can be realized. Due to the saving of cooling medium, it is possible to achieve higher "mixed" temperatures using a lower temperature in the flame of the combustor. This, in turn, decreases the NO X emissions of the turbine.
  • a turbine component is intended to mean a component provided for a turbine, like a gas turbine, like, for example, an aerofoil component embodied as a blade or vane or a part thereof, like an aerofoil, a root portion or an inner or outer platform.
  • the turbine component may further be embodied as a turbine heatshield, a ring segment or a part of a combustor of the turbine, wherein such a combustor part is subjected to high temperatures (a so-called hot part).
  • the turbine component may be a part of a turbine assembly.
  • the turbine assembly may have a turbine cascade and/or wheel with circumferential arranged aerofoils.
  • the turbine component may further comprise an outer and an inner platform arranged at opposed ends of the aerofoil(s) or a shroud and a root portion arranged at opponent ends of the aerofoil(s).
  • the turbine component as an aerofoil it may be a basically hollow aerofoil, wherein a "basically hollow aerofoil" means an aerofoil with a casing, wherein the casing encases at least one cavity.
  • a structure like a rib, rail or partition, which divides different cavities in the aerofoil from one another and for example extends in a span wise direction of the aerofoil, does not hinder the definition of "a basically hollow aerofoil".
  • the aerofoil is hollow.
  • a “base body” is intended to mean a structure that substantially imparts a shape and/or form of the turbine component or, for example, the aerofoil component.
  • the cavity may, for example, be the cavity or be at least one of the cavities in a - hollow - aerofoil or a channel (channel system) for cooling medium in a root portion, a platform, a heatshield, a ring segment or a hot part.

  • the layer 28 of porous material may comprise several sections 44, 46 (only two of the five sections shown in FIG 2 are marked with reference numerals). These sections 44, 46 are positioned one after the other around the outer surface 26 of the turbine component 12 or aerofoil component 12, for example, in chord-wise direction 114 or in a span wise direction 116 of the turbine component 12 (see FIG 1 ).
  • the sections 44, 46 may also vary in pore size S and/or material composition and/or thickness T.
  • Each section 44, 46, comprising a passage 34 from the cavity 16, a part of the layer 28 of the porous material and an exit hole 36, may be a separate sub-system. Such a sub-system needs to be designed to match the local heat load from the outside, supply pressure, temperature of the cooling medium 20 and pressure at the place where the cooling medium 20 exits.
  • the sections 44, 46 are separated from one another by a rib 48 of the wall 22 of the base body 14.
  • the rib 48 extends into and is going through the layer 28 of porous material.
  • An outer surface 118 of the rib 48 is covered by the thermal barrier coating 30.
  • a manufacturing sequence of the turbine component 12 comprises the following step:
  • material is added as powder over a complete area. Then the powder is melted (welded) at the places where the wanted structure (wall, 22, layer 28 etc.) should be formed.
  • the turbine component 12 or aerofoil component 12 is built up by adding layer by layer, the welding pattern is individual for each layer to create the wanted shape. When the process is finished a solid turbine component 12 or aerofoil component 12 embedded in powder where it was not melted is built.
  • the residual powder is removed out of the pores 32 of the layer 28 of porous material, for example by washing.
  • the thermal barrier coating 30 is added on top of the layer 28 of porous material, for example, by electron beam-physical vapour deposition (EB-PVD) or atmospheric plasma spraying.
  • FIG 3 an alternative embodiment of the turbine component 12 is shown.
  • Components, features and functions that remain identical are in principle substantially denoted by the same reference characters. To distinguish between the embodiments, however, the letter "a" has been added to the different reference characters of the embodiment in FIG 1 and 2 . The following description is confined substantially to the differences from the embodiment in FIG 1 and 2 , wherein with regard to components, features and functions that remain identical reference may be made to the description of the embodiment in FIG 1 and 2 .
  • FIG 3 shows an alternative turbine component 12 of a turbine assembly 10a.
  • the embodiment from FIG 3 differs in regard to the embodiment according to FIG 1 and 2 in that the flow path 18a of the cooling medium 20 comprises a chamber 38 to collect the cooling medium 20 before it exits the turbine component 12a or aerofoil component 12a, respectively.
  • the flow path 18a comprises a section 33a, which is located downstream of the cavity 16 or starts at a passage 34 in the wall 22a of the base body 14a.
  • the section 33a of the flow path 18a of the cooling medium 20 starts at the passage 34 and terminates at an exit hole 36 (e.g. a film cooling hole) for the cooling medium 20 of the turbine component 12a or aerofoil component 12a or the thermal barrier coating 30, respectively.
  • an exit hole 36 e.g. a film cooling hole
  • the chamber 38 is positioned at an arbitrarily position along the flow path 18a in section 33a.
  • the chamber 38 is a sub-cavity of cavity 16.
  • the wall 22a comprises an entry channel 122 positioned between the layer 28 of porous material and the chamber 38.
  • the wall 22a comprises an exit channel 122 arranged between or connecting the chamber 38 and one exit hole 36 and spanning through the wall 22a and the layer 28 of porous material.
  • the flow path 18a starts in respect to the layer 28 of porous material at the passage 34 and ends at the exit hole 36 located downstream to the chamber 38.
  • the chamber may be located in the layer of porous material itself (not shown).
  • the cooling medium may be collected inside the cavity and may be ejected either at some other part of the turbine component or extracted outside the turbine engine for cooling and increasing the pressure in a closed loop (not shown).
