Description
- The present invention is directed to turbine components. More particularly, the present invention is directed to turbine components having an inner shroud and an outer shroud.
- Higher temperature and pressure operation of turbine components in turbine engines and power generation systems permit improved efficiency and operation in new configurations. Selecting materials capable of operating at such higher temperatures and pressures is difficult. Such materials can be cost prohibitive, difficult to produce, or difficult to fabricate. In addition, use of such different materials can require modification to cooling mechanisms, which can produce other complications.
- In general, using less material for similar or better operation is desirable. Using less material decreases weight, decreases costs associated with manufacturing, decreases material costs, and provides several other advantages. However, using less material can create complicated geometric requirements and/or can produce undesirable forces not previously generated, such as stress. In addition, as is the case for using different materials, using less materials can require complicated and/or expensive modifications to cooling mechanisms, which can produce other complications.
- Thus, there is an ongoing need to produce materials that are capable of withstanding higher temperature and pressures, that are capable of being applied in lower amounts/weights, are capable of operation without producing undesirable forces, and are capable of use in operational conditions without employing complicated and/or expensive cooling mechanisms.
- A turbine component that shows one or more improvements in comparison to the prior art would be desirable in the art.
- In an embodiment, a turbine component includes an outer shroud and an inner shroud having a first hook region extending over a first portion of the outer shroud and a second hook region extending over a second portion of the outer shroud. The first hook region and the first portion define a first hook gap and the second hook region and the second portion define a second hook gap. A first radial gap extends between the first hook region opposite the first hook gap and the outer shroud and a second radial gap extends between the second hook region opposite the second hook gap and the outer shroud. The first hook gap, the second hook gap, the first radial gap, and the second radial gap are arranged and disposed to permit the inner shroud to deflect from the outer shroud under thermal loading.
- In another embodiment, a turbine component includes an outer shroud and an inner shroud having a first hook region extending over a first portion of the outer shroud and a second hook region extending over a second portion of the outer shroud. The inner shroud includes ceramic matrix composite fibers having a thermal conductivity of less than 200 W/m·k and greater than 10 W/m·k.
- In another embodiment, a turbine component includes an outer shroud and an inner shroud having a first hook region extending over a first portion of the outer shroud and a second hook region extending over a second portion of the outer shroud. The first hook region and the first portion define a first hook gap and the second hook region and the second portion define a second hook gap, the first hook gap and the second hook gap being arranged and disposed to permit the inner shroud to deflect from the outer shroud under thermal loading. The inner shroud includes ceramic matrix composite fibers having a thermal conductivity of less than 200 W/m·k and greater than 10 W/m·k.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a component having an inner shroud and an outer shroud, according to the disclosure. - Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to represent the same parts.

Thesecond hook region 107, the secondradial gap 116, and the second portion 111 are proximal to thetrailing edge 129 in comparison to the leadingedge 127. Thefirst hook region 105 and thesecond hook region 107 adjustably secure theinner shroud 103 to theouter shroud 101.

Any other suitable force-providing mechanisms are capable of being used to further secure theouter shroud 101 and theinner shroud 103, as well as additional inner shrouds in embodiments with a plurality of theinner shrouds 103. - In one embodiment, the arrangement of the
outer shroud 101 and theinner shroud 103, in conjunction with the selected materials, permits selective removal, repair, and/or replacement of theinner shroud 103 from theouter shroud 101. For example, in one embodiment, theinner shroud 103 and theouter shroud 101 do not bind under suitable operational conditions of theturbine component 100. As used herein, the term “bind” refers to local yielding or deformation of theouter shroud 101, for example, above the secondplanar portion 108. Suitable operational conditions include, but are not limited to, from about 1200° F. to above 3200° F. (about 650° C. to above 1760° C.). - The
inner shroud 103 and theouter shroud 101 include any suitable materials capable of use within the operational conditions of the power generation system, the turbine engine, or any other system utilizing theturbine component 100. In one embodiment, theouter shroud 101 includes a metal or metallic material, such as, a nickel-based alloy or stainless steel. In one embodiment, theinner shroud 103 includes a ceramic matrix composite. As used herein, the term “ceramic matrix composite” includes, but is not limited to, carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon (C/C), carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC), silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (SiC/SiC), and silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced oxide matrix composite. In one embodiment, the ceramic matrix composite material has increased elongation, fracture toughness, thermal shock, dynamical load capability, and anisotropic properties as compared to a monolithic ceramic structure. One suitable ceramic matrix composite includes a Si—C fiber and a SiC-matrix, for example, with the Si—C fiber at a concentration, by volume, in the ceramic matrix composite of at least about 20%, for example, at least about 23%, at least about 28%, at least about 30%, between about 23% and about 32%, or any suitable combination, subcombination, range, or sub-range therein. - The materials for the

In one embodiment, theinternal cavity 117 is pressurized, for example, to or greater than the operational pressure and/or the pressure of thehot gas path 119 that traverses along the distal portion of theinner shroud 103 relative to theouter shroud 101. In one embodiment, atransverse gap 121 extends parallel, substantially parallel, or tangential between theinner shroud 103 and theouter shroud 101 from thefirst hook region 105 to thesecond hook region 107 and permits heat to be transferred to theouter shroud 101 from theinner shroud 103. In another embodiment, animpingement plate 123 is positioned between theinner shroud 103 and theouter shroud 101. Theimpingement plate 123 includes material identical, similar, or different from theinner shroud 103 and provides cooling by transferring heat to theinternal cavity 117. - The
inner shroud 103 includes any suitable features to respond to the operational parameters, such as temperature and pressure, resulting from being positioned to be contacted by the hot gasses within thehot gas path 119.
