  • Axial-radial cooling slots on inner air seal
    Patent number: 11041396
    Abstract: An air seal may comprise an annular ring defined by at least a proximal surface, a distal surface, an aft side and a forward side. A channel may be disposed in the forward side of the air seal and/or the aft side of the air seal and may extend between the proximal surface and the distal surface. An additional channel extending from at least one of the forward side or the aft side may be disposed in the distal surface. The channel and the additional channel may be circumferentially in line. The channels may define a flow path for direction cooling air from a proximal side of the air seal to a distal side of the air seal. The radial channel may interface with the axial channel at an edge of the air seal.
    Type: Grant
