  • Adjustable flow split platform cooling for gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 10513947
    Abstract: A turbine assembly may comprise a platform defining a platform cavity cooled by a platform flow with a vane extending from the platform. A platform-fed through cavity is defined by the vane and cooled by a first portion of the platform flow. A direct-fed through flow cavity is defined in the vane and cooled by a direct-fed through flow. The direct-fed through flow cavity and the platform-fed through cavity meet at an outlet to expel an outgoing through flow from the outlet. A platform-fed serpentine cavity may be defined in the vane and separated from the platform-fed through cavity by a divider. The platform-fed serpentine cavity is cooled by a second portion of the platform flow.
