  • Cooling system for a gaspath component of a gas powered turbine
    Patent number: 10344619
    Abstract: A gaspath component includes a flowpath body. A cooling plenum is disposed within the flowpath body. The cooling plenum includes a first region configured to receive a cooling flow and a second region configured to expel the cooling flow from the flowpath body. A metering obstruction is positioned between the first region and the second region and is configured to meter a flow of coolant through the cooling plenum.
