  • Patent number: 11591922
    Abstract: A ring segment having improved cooling efficiency is provided. The ring segment may include a shield plate mounted to a casing which accommodates a turbine and configured to face an inner wall of the casing, a pair of hooks configured to protrude from the shield plate toward the casing to be coupled to the casing, a cavity defined between the shield plate and the pair of hooks, a plurality of first cooling passages configured to connect the cavity and first side surfaces facing each other of the shield plate, and a plurality of second cooling passages configured to connect the cavity and second side surfaces facing each other of the shield plate, wherein the first cooling passages extend in a longitudinal direction of a central axis of the turbine, and the second cooling passages extend in a circumferential direction of the turbine.

  • Patent number: 11143043
    Abstract: A turbine vane improves cooling performance by guiding an impingement cooling fluid, introduced through a cooling hole of an inner sidewall provided inside the turbine vane, to flow while in contact with an inner surface of the turbine vane for a relatively long time. The turbine vane includes an outer sidewall configured to form an airfoil comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge; an inner sidewall disposed inside the outer sidewall to form a gap between the inner sidewall and an inner surface of the outer sidewall, the inner sidewall having a plurality of cooling holes communicating with the gap; and a plurality of spiral guides formed on the inner surface of the outer sidewall and disposed at positions facing the respective cooling holes, the plurality of spiral guides configured to guide a cooling fluid having passed through the cooling holes to impinge on the spiral guides.
