  • Coolable wall
    Patent number: 4118146
    Abstract: A coolable wall element which is adapted for combined impingement and transpiration cooling in environments where the pressure differential across the wall element differs substantially with physical position along the wall is disclosed. Techniques varying the proportion of impingement to transpiration cooling along the wall are developed. The wall element is shown in one embodiment as forming a portion of the wall of an air-foil adapted for use in the turbine section of a gas turbine engine.

  • Coolable nozzle guide vane
    Patent number: 4040767
    Abstract: A coolable nozzle guide vane in the turbine section of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The vane has a platform section and an airfoil section which are adapted to receive and distribute cooling air about the walls of the sections which are in contact with the hot working medium gases flowing through the turbine during operation of the engine. Impingement cooling and transpiration cooling techniques are combined to maximize the cooling effectiveness of the air supplied.
