  • Patent number: 11255197
    Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil section that has an internal wall and an external wall. The external wall defines pressure and suction sides that extends in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a first impingement cavity and a second impingement cavity bounded by the external wall at a leading edge region that defines the leading edge. A first crossover passage within the internal wall is connected to the first impingement. The first crossover passage defines a first passage axis that intersects a surface of the first impingement cavity. A second crossover passage within the internal wall is connected to the second impingement cavity. The second crossover passage defines a second passage axis that intersects a surface of the second impingement cavity.

  • Patent number: 10633978
    Abstract: An airfoil according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an internal wall and an external wall. The external wall defines pressure and suction sides between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and the airfoil section defines a mean camber line that extends between the leading and trailing edges to bisect a thickness of the airfoil section. A first cavity and a second cavity are separated by the internal wall. The second cavity is bounded by the external wall at the leading edge. At least one crossover passage within the internal wall connects the first cavity to the second cavity. The crossover passage defines a passage axis. The passage axis defines a passage angle with respect to the mean camber line such that the passage axis extends transversely from the mean camber line to intersect a surface of the second cavity.

The external wall defines pressure and suction sides that extends in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a first impingement cavity and a second impingement cavity bounded by the external wall at a leading edge region that defines the leading edge, a first feeding cavity separated from the first impingement cavity and from the second impingement cavity by the internal wall, and a first crossover passage within the internal wall that connects the first impingement cavity and the first feeding cavity. The first crossover passage defines a first passage axis that intersects a surface of the first impingement cavity. A second crossover passage within the internal wall connects to the second impingement cavity.

  • Patent number: 10428666
    Abstract: A turbine vane includes an inner platform and an outer platform joined together by an airfoil. The airfoil has a leading edge and a trailing edge joined together by a pressure side and a suction side disposed opposite the pressure side. The inner platform defines a plurality of first inner cooling holes and a plurality of second inner cooling holes that are fluidly connected to an inner cooling passage. The plurality of first inner cooling holes are disposed proximate the leading edge and extend towards the suction side and the plurality of second inner cooling holes are disposed proximate the trailing edge and the suction side and extend towards the leading edge.

  • Patent number: 10132168
    Abstract: An airfoil is disclosed, comprising an airfoil body and an internal cavity within the airfoil body. The internal cavity may comprise an outer edge comprising a first outer scallop and a second outer scallop, an inner edge opposite the outer edge, the inner edge comprising a first inner scallop and a second inner scallop, a leading edge spanning between the outer edge and the inner edge, and a trailing edge spanning between the outer edge and the inner edge and opposite the leading edge. Between the outer edge, the inner edge, the leading edge, and the trailing edge, the internal cavity may comprise eight columns of pedestals disposed axially relative to one another and axially between the leading edge and the trailing edge.
