  • Patent number: 10895156
    Abstract: A turbomachine arrangement having a platform cooling device for a blade positioned at a platform of the blade. The cooling device's peripheral edge is in contact with the platform; a first surface portion forms a first cavity between the cooling device and platform and has impingement holes to impinge onto the platform; a second surface portion forms a second cavity between the cooling device and platform; a barrier in contact with the platform forms a connection between two sections of the edge and fluidically separates the first and second cavity. The cooling device is connected at the edge to the blade so the first and second cavity are formed between the cooling device and blade. The blade has a supply passage, connecting a hollow core and the second cavity for supplying cooling fluid to the second cavity and the first cavity is supplied with cooling fluid via the impingement holes.

  • Patent number: 9181808
    Abstract: A blade or a vane component of a turbomachine includes an inner space between two opposite inner walls of the component, and a plurality of ribs projecting from the two opposite inner wall forming a plurality of channels on each of the two opposite inner walls to guide the cooling fluid towards the trailing edge. The inner space is divided into a leading section towards the leading edge of the component and a trailing section towards the trailing edge of the component. The ribs are arranged in the leading section. A plurality of pin-fins projecting from the two opposite inner walls is arranged in the trailing section in a discrete manner.
