Turbomachine component and method of connecting cooling circuits of a turbomacine component

摘要

A turbomachine component (10) is provided and includes a turbine blade (20), which is rotatable about a rotor of a turbine for power generation operations and a platform (30) with which the turbine blade (20) is to be assembled. The turbine blade (20) is formed to define a main circuit (50) having an appendage (52). The platform (30) is formed to define a platform circuit (60), and a substantially radially extendible pathway (70) configured to be coupled to the appendage (52) and to the platform circuit (60).
