Embodiment Construction

[0061] refer to figure 1 , the cooling channel 100a is provided in a rotor blade or guide vane (in the following, indicated by a rotor blade for simplicity) of a gas turbine to send a cooling medium 130 thereinto. The inner wall of the flow cooling path 100 is covered by the heat exchange walls 110a and 111a, wherein the pins (see figure 2 ) is disposed near the inner side of the cooling passage 100a. The structure of the heat exchange walls 110a and 111a may be the same as that of any other cooling path 101a, 102a.

[0062] When the gas turbine is operated, high-temperature gas 120 is blown toward the rotor blades, and the rotor blades rotate around a rotation axis (not shown). A cooling medium 130 is supplied into the cooling channel 100a from the base portion of the rotor blade. Cooling medium 130 takes heat away from the rotor blades and is exhausted to path 131 through which high temperature gas 120 flows. The heat exchange walls 110 a , 111 a are disposed on the inn...

Abstract

The invention refers to a rotor blade or guide vane airfoil for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal axis and a source of cooling fluid, the airfoil having a pressure wall, a suction wall, a leading edge, a trailing edge and at least one cooling fluid flow passage. The cooling fluid flow passage is in fluid communication with the source of cooling fluid. Means for directing cooling fluid at least to the trailing edge are provided, whereas the cooling fluid flow passage including: a plurality of axially extending walls, each of the walls extending laterally between the pressure wall and suction wall. The plurality of walls being radially spaced within the cooling fluid flow passage such that adjacent pairs of walls define a channel, the axial spacing between the adjacent walls comprising in radial direction of the airfoil a pins and a ribs structure, wherein the pins holistic or approximately cover the axial height of the channel. The ribs have a deeper level with respect to the pins and the ribs establish a bridge-like connection between each of adjacent ribs.

Description
