Abstract: A blade for a gas turbine includes a leading edge running in a longitudinal direction substantially radially to an axis of the turbine; a trailing edge running in the longitudinal direction; a blade body disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge so as to define a pressure side and a suction side; an exit slot disposed in the blade body in an area of the trailing edge and running in the longitudinal direction and configured to discharge a cooling medium from an interior of the blade body; and a row of first and second control elements disposed in the exit slot in a distributed manner in the longitudinal direction and configured to control a mass flow of the cooling medium exiting through the exit slot, the first control elements having a first configuration and the second control elements having a second configuration different from the first configuration.

Abstract: A cooled component for a gas turbine is disclosed, which by an outer side of a wall delimits hot gas passage of the gas turbine and on an inner side has a device for impingement cooling. The impingement cooling device can include a multiplicity of impingement cooling chambers which are arranged next to each other, operate in parallel, are covered by impingement cooling plates which are equipped with impingement cooling holes, and are impinged upon by cooling air during operation.

Abstract: A gas turbine including a combustion chamber and a first row of guide vanes, arranged essentially directly downstream thereof, of a turbine. The outer and/or inner limitation of the combustion chamber defined by at least one outer and/or inner heat shield, mounted on at least one combustion chamber structure arranged radially outside and/or inside. The hot gases flow path in the region of the guide vane row being restricted radially on the outside and/or inside by an outer and/or inner vane platform, mounted at least indirectly on at least one turbine carrier. A minimal gap size directly upstream of the first row of guide vanes is achieved by mounting at least indirectly on the turbine carrier at least one mini heat shield, arranged upstream of the first row of guide vanes and essentially adjacent the vane platform and in the flow direction between the heat shield and the vane platform.

Abstract: A cooled constructional element for a gas turbine includes a wall having a front and a rear side. The front side is configured to be thermally loaded during operation of the turbine, and the rear side has a plurality of pins projecting therefrom in a two-dimensional distribution, the two-dimensional distribution including a higher density distribution of pins in a critical zone of the cooled constructional element than in the remaining regions of the cooled constructional element. A device is configured to create jets of a cooling medium that are directed onto the rear side of the wall in a region of the plurality of pins so as to cool the rear side of the wall by impingement.

Abstract: A cooled blade for a gas turbine includes a blade airfoil extending between leading and trailing edges in a flow direction and on suction and pressure sides is delimited by a wall, which include an interior space in which cooling air flows towards the trailing edge in the flow direction and discharges to the outside in the region of the trailing edge. The pressure-side wall terminates at a distance in front of the trailing edge in the flow direction, forming a pressure-side lip, such that the cooling air discharges from the interior space on the pressure side. Multiple ribs subdivides the interior space, parallel to the flow direction, into a plurality of parallel cooling passages which create a high pressure drop and in which turbulators are arranged for increasing cooling. Before the outlet, multiple flow barriers are provided in the cooling air flow path, distributed transversely to the flow direction.

Abstract: A blade for a gas turbine has a leading edge and a trailing edge, and an interior cavity, which is delimited by internal surfaces, for guiding cooling air therethrough. A multiplicity of turbulators or pins, which are formed on the wall, are arranged in a distributed manner in the region of the trailing edge and project from the internal surfaces into the cavity, to improve the transfer of heat between the wall of the blade and the cooling air. An improvement of the internal cooling is achieved by the turbulators or pins extending into the cavity in a direction which can be freely selected within an angular range.

The guide vane row includes a plurality of guide vane airfoils having a blade and an inner platform. The ratio between the pitch and the leading edge diameter of the guide vane airfoils is between 6.3-7.6 and the ratio between the platform length and the leading edge diameter of the guide vane airfoils is between 4.0-5.5.

Abstract: A turbine blade for a gas turbine has a hollow airfoil extending from a platform. There is a fillet between the airfoil and the platform, both on the pressure side and on the suction side of the airfoil. The fillet contains a cooling bore extending along part of the length of the fillet, having a first end communicating with the interior of the turbine blade for receiving a gaseous coolant and a second end communicating with the exterior of the turbine blade. The cooling may be formed by electro-discharge machining.
