Kylda blad för en gasturbinmotor

摘要

A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine has internal passages which are opened at their roots to supply pressure so that there is a constant flow of cooling air inside the blade in use. The blade has an airfoil surface and a number of internal passages inside the walls of the blade, some being formed adjacent the mid-chord section and extend from the root section to the tip section to define feed channels open at the blade root section. A number of radially spaced film cooling holes in the airfoil surface communicate with each feed channel to flow a film of cooling air adjacent the airfoil surface. A number of replenishment holes are radially spaced in the wall to flow air from the mid-chord section to the feed channel(s) to replenish the cooling air in the feed channel(s) that is otherwise lost in supplying air to the film cooling holes. A device communicates cooling air from the root section via the feed channels to discharge from orifices in the airfoil surface at the tip section.
