COOLING SUPPLY MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY FOR COOLING COMBUSTION TURBINE COMPONENTS

摘要

A cooling manifold assembly (10) for cooling combustion turbine (4) componen ts is provided. The manifold assembly (10) comprises at least a first and second connector box (80). Each one of the first and second two connector boxes comprises a housing (81). A fluid supply conduit (82) and return (84) conduit are securely coupled with the housing (81). The fluid supply conduit (80) is adapted to be in fluid communication with a cooling fluid for cooling a hot turbine part. The return conduit (84) is adapted to be in fluid communication with a cooling fluid that has extracted heat from a turbine hot part. A cooling fluid supply pipe (60) for supplying a cooling fluid to the first and second connector boxes is provided. The supply pipe (60) comprises two openings at the ends. The first end of the fluid supply pipe (60) is coupled with the first connector box (80) and the second end of the pipe is coupled with the at least second connector box (80). A fluid returnpipe (70) for conducting a cooling fluid that has extracted heat from a hot turbine part is provided. The return pipe (70) comprisres two openings at the ends. The first end of the fluid return pipe (70) is coupled with the first connector box (80) and the second end of the pipe is coupled with the at least second connector box (80).
