Patent number: 12510001Abstract: The present disclosure provides a turbine shroud with a cooling circuit and turbomachine with the subject turbine shroud. The turbine shroud includes a body with a rib thereon. The rib extends between a first and second sidewall of the body, the sidewalls extending between a forward end and an aft end of the body. The body is coupled to a turbomachine casing or an intermediate component for coupling the body to the turbomachine casing. A cooling circuit within the body is in fluid communication with a cooling chamber adjacent the body. The cooling circuit includes a plurality of inlet passages extending through the rib of the body, and a plurality of outlet passages fluidly coupled to the inlet passage and extending through an external surface of the body. The cooling circuit also includes a first plenum within the rib and in fluid communication with the plurality of inlet passages.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2025Date of Patent: December 30, 2025Assignee: GE Infrastructure Technology, LLCInventors: Katherine Courtlyn MacManus, Daniel Robert Burnos, Ibrahim Sezer, Bradley James Miller, Johnathan Ray Wallen

Patent number: 11236622Abstract: A turbine nozzle for a gas turbine includes: an airfoil having an airfoil shape having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with at least a portion of Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in TABLE I. The Cartesian coordinate values are non-dimensional values of from 0% to 100% convertible to distances by multiplying the values by a height of the airfoil expressed in units of distance. The X and Y values are connected by smooth continuing arcs that define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z along at least a portion of the airfoil, and the airfoil profile sections at the Z distances are joined smoothly with one another to form the nominal profile. A trailing edge profile for a turbine nozzle is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Alexander Stein, Jacob John Kittleson, Daniel Robert Burnos

Patent number: 10533440Abstract: The present application provides a turbine nozzle including an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape may have a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table I. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances in inches by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The airfoil profile sections at Z distances may be joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Lee Larned Brozyna, Daniel Robert Burnos, Pradeep Ghute

Patent number: 10519861Abstract: A cooled structure of a gas turbine engine having a main body with a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first side portion, a second side portion, and a cavity. A first set of cooling air micro-channels extends from the cavity and are arranged along the first side portion. A second set of cooling air micro-channels extends from the cavity and are arranged along the second side portion. Each set of cooling air micro-channels has at least one transition manifold in fluid communication with an adjacent micro-channel and also in fluid communication with at least one of an intake end, an exhaust end, and mixtures thereof. The cooled structure described above is also embodied in a gas turbine.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Daniel Robert Burnos, Ibrahim Sezer
