  • Publication number: 20120201694
    Abstract: Disclosed is a turbine blade capable of being cooled by a coolant gas supplied to a hollow region, wherein a plurality of meandering flow paths that guide the coolant gas between the suction wall surface and the pressure wall surface while causing the coolant gas to repeatedly meander are continuously arranged from the hub side toward the tip side of the turbine blade, and the meandering flow paths adjacent to each other cause the coolant gas to meander in different repetitive patterns.

  • Publication number: 20110027102
    Abstract: A cooling structure of a turbine airfoil cools a turbine airfoil (10) exposed to hot gas (1), using cooling air (2) of a temperature lower than that of the hot gas. The turbine airfoil (10) includes an external surface (11), an internal surface (12) opposite to the external surface, a plurality of film-cooling holes (13) blowing the cooling air from the internal surface toward the external surface to film-cool the external surface, and a plurality of heat-transfer promoting projections (14) integrally formed with the internal surface and protruding inwardly from the internal surface. The turbine airfoil further includes a hollow cylindrical insert (20) which is positioned inside the internal surface of the turbine airfoil and to which the cooling air is supplied. The insert has a plurality of impingement holes (21) for impingement-cooling the internal surface (12).

  • Patent number: 6979176
    Abstract: A cooled turbine rotor blade comprises a blade body having a cooling passage so that cooling air is introduced, and a film cooling hole which is formed on the surface of the blade body and includes an inlet opening and a wedge shaped spurt out opening. The film cooling hole is divided into at least two openings by a partition wall on the outlet side of the film cooling hole.
