Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to turbine engine blades and, more particularly, to a turbine blade tip peripheral end wall with a grooved cooling arrangement.
- A reduction in turbine engine efficiency results from leaking of hot expanding combustion gases in the turbine across a gap between rotating turbine blades and stationary seals or shrouds which surround the blades. The problem of sealing between such relatively rotating members to avoid loss in efficiency is very difficult in the turbine section of the engine because of high temperatures and centrifugal loads.
- One method of improving the sealing between a respective turbine blade and shroud is the provision of squealer type tips on turbine blades. A squealer tip includes a continuous peripheral end wall of relatively small height typically surrounding and projecting outwardly from an end cap on the outer end of a turbine blade that encloses a cooling air plenum in the interior of the blade.
- During operation of the engine, temperature changes create differential rates of thermal expansion and contraction on the blade rotor and shroud that may result in rubbing between the blade tips and shrouds. Centrifugal forces acting on the blades and structural forces acting on the shrouds create distortions thereon that may also result in rubbing interference.
- Such rubbing interference between the rotating blade tips and surrounding stationary shrouds causes heating of the blade tips resulting in excessive wear or damage to the blade tips and shrouds. Heating produced by the leakage flow of hot gases may actually be augmented by the presence of a cavity defined by the end cap and peripheral end wall of the squealer tip because of the increased surface area of the peripheral end wall. The peripheral end wall is especially difficult to cool, because the end wall extends away from the internally cooled region of the blade. Therefore, squealer type blade tips, though fostering improved sealing, actually require additional cooling.
- Because of the complexity and relative high cost of replacing or repairing turbine blades, it is desirable to prolong as much as possible the life of blade tips and respective blades. Blade tip cooling is a conventional practice employed for achieving that objective. The provision of holes for directing air flow to cool blade tips is known in the prior art, for instance as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,247,254 to Zelahy, and have been applied to squealer type blade tips as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,339 to Horvath.
- Turbine engine blade designers and engineers are constantly striving to develop more efficient ways of cooling the tips of the turbine blades to prolong turbine blade life and reduce engine operating cost. Cooling air used to accomplish this is expensive in terms of overall fuel consumption. Thus, more effective and efficient use of available cooling air in carrying out cooling of turbine blade tips is desirable not only to prolong turbine blade life but also to improve the efficiency of the engine as well, thereby again lowering engine operating cost. Consequently, there is a continuing need for a cooling hole design that will make more effective and efficient use of available cooling air.
- A turbine assembly having at least one rotor blade comprises an airfoil having a pressure sidewall, a suction sidewall, and a tip portion having a tip cap. A squealer tip is disposed on the tip cap. A plurality of blade tip cooling holes are positioned within the airfoil near the tip portion. Cooling grooves are disposed within the airfoil to connect the blade tip cooling holes with the top portion of the squealer tip to transition cooling flow from the cooling holes to the tip portion.

- FIGS.8-10 are fragmentary longitudinal sectional views of the turbine blade of FIG. 2 taken along line 4-4.
- A
turbine blade 10 includes anairfoil 12 having apressure side 14, asuction side 16, and abase 18 for mountingairfoil 12 to a rotor (not shown) of an engine (not shown) as shown in FIG. 1.Base 18 has aplatform 20 for rigidly mountingairfoil 12 and adovetail root 22 for attachingblade 10 to the rotor. - An
outer end portion 24 ofblade 10 has atip 26.Tip 26 includes anend cap 28 which closesouter end portion 24 ofblade 10, and anend wall 30 attached to, and extending along theperiphery 31 of, and projecting outwardly from,end cap 28 so as to define acavity 29 therewith.End cap 28 oftip 26 typically is provided with an arrangement oftip cooling holes 32 formed therethrough for permitting passage of cooling air flow from the interior ofblade 10 throughend cap 28 tocavity 29 for purposes ofcooling blade tip 26. - The tip of a turbine blade is designed to serve many purposes. One purpose is to maintain the blade integrity in the event of rubbing between the blade tip and a stationary shroud (not shown). A second purpose is to minimize the leakage flow across the blade tip from the pressure side to the suction side and a third purpose is to cool the blade tip within the material limit.
Tip 26 provides the rubbing capability and also serves as a two-tooth seal to discourage the leakage flow. - As shown in FIG. 1, at least one and typically a plurality of blade tip
film cooling holes 34 are disposed withinouter end portion 24 ofairfoil 12. Typically, blade tipfilm cooling holes 34 provide external film cooling issued on the bladetip pressure side 14 in the radial direction. Some designs use asmany film holes 34 as possible, in the limited space available, in an effort to flood the pressures side tip region with coolant. It is desired that this film cooling then carry over ontoend wall 30 and intocavity 29 to provide cooling there and also over the suction side surfaces oftip 26.Film holes 34 are oriented in the radially outward direction because the prevailing mainstream gas flows tend to migrate in this manner in the tip region. In practice, it is still very difficult and very inconsistent to cool the blade tip in this manner due to the very complex nature of the cooling flow as it mixes with very dynamic hot gases of the mainstream flow. Blade tipfilm cooling holes 34 are typically angled with respect to the surface ofairfoil 12. In one embodiment, blade tip cooling holes are angled in the range between about 20° to about 70° with respect to the surface ofairfoil 12. - As shown in FIG. 1, hot air flows (generally illustrated as arrows36) over
airfoil 12 and exerts motive forces upon the outer surfaces ofairfoil 12, in turn driving the turbine and generating power. In some arrangements, cooling flow (generally illustrated by arrows 38) exitsfilm holes 34 and is swept byhot air flow 36 towards atrailing edge 40 ofairfoil 12 and away fromtip cap 28. Typically, this results in a mixed effect, where some of the cooling air is caught up and mixed with the hot gases and some goes ontotip cap 28 and some goes axially along the airfoil to trailingedge 40. This results in inadequate cooling oftip cap 28 andendwall 30 and eventual temperature inflicted degradation oftip cap 28 andendwall 30. - As shown in FIG. 2,
hot air flow 36 passes overairfoil 12 and exerts motive forces upon the outer surfaces ofairfoil 12, driving the turbine and generating power. In accordance with one embodiment of the instant invention, at least one and typically a plurality ofgrooves 50 are disposed within outer portion ofairfoil 12 connecting at least one corresponding blade tipfilm cooling hole 34 with top portion of the airfoil to transitioncooling flow 38 from blade tipfilm cooling holes 34 to tipcap 28 and toend wall 30. - As shown, in an exploded view of FIG. 2,
cooling grooves 50 can be disposed so as to have a substantially constant width fromfilm cooling holes 34 to tipcap 28, as indicated byreference numeral 80. Alternatively, a fan-type cooling groove 50 can be utilized to spread thecooling air 30 as it exitsfilm cooling holes 34, as indicated byreference numeral 82. Also, a multiple-channel cooling groove 50 can be utilized, as indicated byreference numeral 84. - In one embodiment,
airfoil 12 further comprises apressure side winglet 54 disposed upon an upper portion ofairfoil 12, as best shown in FIG. 3.Pressure side winglet 54 includes atop portion 56 contiguous withtop surface 52 oftip 26 and anangled body portion 58. -
Angled body portion 58 is typically angled at the same angle asfilm cooling hole 34 in reference to the surface ofairfoil 12. In one embodiment,angled body portion 58 is positioned coextensively with a top portion of a respectivefilm cooling hole 34 such that the top portion offilm cooling hole 34 andangled body portion 58 generally form a straight line. In one embodiment,groove 50 is disposed directly into a respectiveangled body portion 58 such that cooling flow issuing from arespective cooling hole 34 flows throughgroove 50 totop portion 56 ofpressure side winglet 54 overtop surface 52 oftip 26 and on to tipcap 28. - As shown in FIG. 3, the addition of a pressure
side tip winglet 54, or angled projection of tip surface, performs the function of adding resistance to the flow of gases into the gap between the blade tip and the stationary shroud. Such awinglet 54 is known to reduce hot gas leakage flows into the blade tip gap. With the added requirement of film cooling for the blade tip, these two functions can be combined in novel ways to synergistically improve performance and extend blade life. Blade tip film holes 34 are here provided with substantially the same angle aswinglet 54.Winglet 54 in this embodiment is a straight surface with a sharp corner at the coincidence ofsurfaces winglet 54 and film holes 34 need not be exactly 0 degrees, but can vary from −15 to +15 degrees, typically, and still achieve the desired effect. Furthermore, in this embodiment, film holes 34 are discharged intogrooves 50 inwinglet 54, whichgrooves 50 are at the same angle aswinglet 54.Grooves 50 may be of various depths and shapes.Grooves 50 serve to contain the film cooling and further protect it from mixing with the hot gases.Grooves 50, or channels, also serve to increase the external surface area covered by the film cooling.Grooves 50 may be cast features in the blade tip, or machined after casting, or even simply formed by laser drilling as part of the process of forming the film holes themselves.Grooves 50 need not be of constant cross section, but could also flare out in size with distance from the film hole, which can provide added benefit in performance. The groove depth into the surface can vary; this is not restricted by the dimension of the film hole. Two ormore grooves 50 may proceed from a single film hole to help spread the cooling while also protecting the coolant from mixing with hot gases. - As shown in FIG. 4,
winglet 54 edge defined by the coincidence ofsurfaces blade tip 26 has a single-tooth squealer located only along the suction side. Thewinglet 54 and novel tip film cooling may still be employed on the pressure side. - As shown in FIG. 5, film cooling holes34 can be entirely contained within
winglet 54, rather than being discharged near the base ofwinglet 54. By routing the film holes within thewinglet 54, these cooling holes cease to be film cooling holes, but instead become internal cooling for thewinglet 54. Given a suitably thin amount of material between the cooling hole and the external surface of thewinglet 54, this can result in very efficient cooling of thewinglet 54. This embodiment in essence provides a total shield to the film holes, preventing any mixing with the hot gases on the pressure side of the blade tip. - As shown in FIG. 6, this embodiment is a combination of FIGS. 4 and 5, in which the film cooling holes34 are not entirely contained within the
winglet 54. - As shown in FIG. 7, this embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 4, but with another single-tooth seal location. This figure shows an embodiment which may be used in connection with the present invention, namely that the tip perimeter rim need not extend completely around the pressure side and suction side of the tip; ie. need not form a tip cavity. In this embodiment, the blade tip has a single-tooth squealer located along or approximately along the mean chordline of the blade tip section. The
winglet 54 and novel tip film cooling may still be employed on the pressure side. - These figures depict examples of the shaping which the
film hole grooves 50 may assume. In FIG. 8,grooves 50 are made to be cylindrical in shape, and can be either the same diameter as the film hole or larger in diameter. A larger diameter will provide additional coolant spreading and surface area for cooling. In FIG. 9,grooves 50 are flared or fan-shaped diffusers from the film hole exit to thetip surface 52. The degree of flare may be altered continuously or abruptly. In FIG. 10,grooves 50 are formed with two branches both emanating from the film hole exit. The branches may be cylindrical or flared, and may be from 0 to 45 degrees in included angle. - As cooling
air 38 exits blade tip film cooling holes 34, coolingair 38 flows intogroove 50 and travels to atop surface 52 oftip 26 and flows intotip cap 28 to provide cooling thereto as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.Grooves 50 provide a safe passage for coolingflow 38 issuing from film cooling holes 34 resulting in appropriate cooling of thetip cap 28 region, lessening end cap degradation. - While typical embodiments have been set forth for the purpose of illustration, the foregoing description should not be deemed to be a limitation on the scope of the invention. Accordingly, various modifications, adaptations, and alternatives may occur to one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
