  • Patent number: 9926799
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component is provided. The gas turbine engine component has an internal cooling passage having first endwall and a second endwall. A primary inlet aperture is in fluid communication with a coolant supply and the first end of the internal cooling passage. An elongated rib is inside the internal cooling passage and proximate the primary inlet aperture. The elongated rib is configured to direct at least a portion of the coolant from the primary inlet aperture against a proximate one of the first or second endwall and then substantially reverse direction to flow downstream toward a second end of the internal cooling passage. A blade outer air seal (“BOAS”) assembly and a BOAS segment thereof are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20180066539
    Abstract: Impingement assemblies including an impingement plate having an increased cross-flow structure that forms an increased cross-flow area between the impingement plate and an impingement surface when the impingement plate is installed proximate to the impingement surface. The increased cross-flow structure has a first portion having at least one impingement hole passing through the first portion, the first portion being separated from the impingement surface by an impingement hole height, a second portion separated from the first portion by a separation distance and separated from the impingement surface by a cross-flow structure height, and a third portion extending between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion, the second portion, and the third portion define at least one cross-flow cavity between the impingement plate and the impingement surface, and the cross-flow structure height is greater than the impingement hole height.
