Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Gasturbinen. Sie betrifft eine luftgekühlte Turbinenschaufel, welche an der Schaufelspitze ein sich senkrecht zur Schaufellängsachse erstreckendes Deckbandelement aufweist, wobei das Deckbandelement zum Zwecke der Kühlung von einer Mehrzahl von Kühlbohrungen durchzogen ist, welche eingangsseitig mit wenigstens einem durch die Turbinenschaufel zur Schaufelspitze verlaufenden Kühlluftkanal in Verbindung stehen und ausgangsseitig in den die Turbinenschaufel umgebenden Aussenraum münden.The present invention relates to the field of gas turbines. It concerns an air cooled turbine blade which is perpendicular to the blade tip Has to the blade longitudinal axis extending shroud element, wherein the shroud element for the purpose of cooling a plurality of cooling holes is traversed, which input side with at least one through the Turbine blade to the blade tip extending cooling air duct in conjunction stand and on the output side in the outer space surrounding the turbine blade lead.
Gattungsgemässe Turbinenschaufeln sind aus DE 198 13 173 oder aus US 5,785,496 bekannt.Generic turbine blades are known from DE 198 13 173 or from US 5,785,496 known.
Moderne Gasturbinen arbeiten bei extrem hohen Temperaturen. Dies erfordert eine intensive Kühlung der Turbinenschaufeln. Eine besondere Schwierigkeit besteht darin, die exponierten Bereiche der Schaufeln zuverlässig zu kühlen. Einer dieser Bereiche sind das Deckband bzw. die Deckbandelemente der Schaufel. Eine Möglichkeit der Kühlung der Deckbandelemente ist in der eingangs genannten Druckschrift DE 198 13 173 beschrieben worden. Dort wird vorgeschlagen (siehe die dortigen Fig. 3 und 4), die Deckbandelemente durch eine Reihe paralleler Kühlbohrungen zu kühlen, die sich von der (zentralen) Laufschaufel durch das Deckbandelement hindurch zur äusseren Kante des Deckbandelementes erstrekken und dort in den Aussenraum münden.Modern gas turbines operate at extremely high temperatures. This requires intensive cooling of the turbine blades. A special difficulty exists to reliably cool the exposed areas of the blades. one These areas are the shroud or the shroud elements of the blade. One way of cooling the shroud elements is in the aforementioned Document DE 198 13 173 has been described. There it is proposed (See Figures 3 and 4 there), the shroud elements by a series of parallel Cooling cooling holes extending from the (central) blade through the Deckbandelement extend therethrough to the outer edge of the shroud element and there open into the outside space.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Deckbandkühlung offenbart GB 1605335. Eine Anzahl paralleler Kühlbohrungen erstreckt sich in Rotationsrichtung durch das Deckbandelement und mündet in einer seitlichen Vertiefung. Das jeweils benachbarte Deckbandelement speist mit seinen Kühlbohrungen ebenfalls den durch die Vertiefung gebildeten Hohlraum und schliesst diesen gleichzeitig ab. Über weitere Kühlbohrungen gelangt die Kühlluft aus dem Hohlraum in den Aussenraum am oberen Rand des Deckbandes.Another possibility for shroud cooling disclosed GB 1605335. A number parallel cooling holes extends in the direction of rotation through the shroud element and flows into a lateral depression. The adjacent one Shroud element fed with its cooling holes also through the recess formed cavity and closes this at the same time. About more Cooling holes, the cooling air passes from the cavity in the outer space on upper edge of the shroud.
Die veröffentlichte japanische Patentanmeldung JP 58047104 offenbart eine Deckbandkühlung, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die aus einem zentralen Kühlluftkanal der Schaufel den Deckbandelementen zugeführte Kühlluft über unterschiedliche Kühlluftpfade aufgeteilt wird, welche an unterschiedlichen Stellen des Deckbandes in den Aussenraum münden.Published Japanese Patent Application JP 58047104 discloses a Shroud cooling, which is characterized by the fact that from a central Cooling air duct of the blade the shroud elements supplied cooling air over different Cooling air paths is divided, which at different points of the shroud open into the outer space.
Diese bekannten Lösungen haben allerdings die folgenden Nachteile:
- Stossen zwei Deckbandelemente benachbarter Schaufeln seitlich aneinander (wie dies z.B. aus Fig. 3 der US-A-5,482,435 zu ersehen ist), werden die Mündungen der Kühlbohrungen zumindest teilweise verschlossen und das Deckbandelement wird im Betrieb überhitzt.
- Die bekannte Deckbandkühlung ändert wegen der seitlich angeordneten Mündungen nicht die Ueberströmbedingungen über das Deckband, das heisst, Druck und Temperatur auf der Oberseite des Deckbandes bleiben gleich. Dies wird auch nicht dadurch geändert, dass - wie in der US-A-5,460,486 vorgeschlagen - gewisse Kühlbohrungen auf der Unterseite des Deckbandelementes münden.
- Die Kühlwirkung beruht hautpsächlich auf der durch Vermischung der austretenden Kühlluft mit dem Heissgas abgesenkten Mischtemperatur in der Deckbandumgebung. Es werden in den Kühlbohrungen keine Massnahmen getroffen, um den Wärmeübergang zwischen der Kühlluft und dem Deckbandelement zu intensivieren.
- If two shroud elements of adjacent blades abut one another laterally (as can be seen, for example, from FIG. 3 of US Pat. No. 5,482,435), the orifices of the cooling bores are at least partially closed and the shroud element is overheated during operation.
- The known shroud cooling does not change the overflow conditions on the shroud because of the laterally arranged mouths, that is, pressure and temperature on the top of the shroud remain the same. This is not changed by the fact that - as proposed in US-A-5,460,486 - certain cooling holes open on the underside of the shroud element.
- The cooling effect is based mainly on the lowered by mixing the exiting cooling air with the hot gas mixing temperature in the shroud environment. No measures are taken in the cooling holes to intensify the heat transfer between the cooling air and the shroud element.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Turbinenschaufel mit luftgekühltem Deckbandelement zu schaffen, bei welcher die genannten Nachteile auf einfache Weise vermieden werden, indem die Kühlluftbohrungen so in den Aussenraum münden, dass die exponierten Regionen des Deckbandes zuverlässig mit der Kühlluft beaufschlagt und zusätzlich gekühlt werden.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a turbine blade with air-cooled To create shroud element, wherein said disadvantages to simple Be avoided by the cooling air holes so in the outside space conclude that the exposed regions of the shroud reliably with the Cooling air applied and additionally cooled.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Gesamtheit der Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen geben die abhängigen Ansprüche wieder.The object is solved by the entirety of the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments give the dependent claims again.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, in den Seitenkanten der Deckbandelemente Ausnehmungen anzuordnen, in die die Kühlbohrungen münden. Die Ausnehmungen gegenüberliegender Deckbandelemente bilden dabei einen Spalt. Beim Austritt in den Spalt teilt sich die Kühlluft in zwei Teilströme auf. Ein Teil strömt zur Oberseite hin und speist eine Kavität zwischen den beabstandeten Dichtrippen. Der andere Teil strömt zur Deckbandunterseite und mischt sich dort mit den Heissgasen unter Einstellung einer Mischtemperatur, die die thermische Belastung in diesem Bereich verringert. Durch die Spaltgeometrie wird das Verhältnis der nach oben und unten abströmenden Teilmengen beeinflusst.The basic idea of the invention consists in the side edges of the shroud elements To arrange recesses into which the cooling holes open. The recesses of opposite shroud elements form a Gap. When exiting into the gap, the cooling air is divided into two partial flows. One Part flows to the top and feeds a cavity between the spaced ones Sealing ribs. The other part flows to the shroud bottom and mixes there with the hot gases under adjustment of a mixing temperature, which is the thermal Reduced load in this area. Due to the gap geometry, the ratio the up and down flowing subsets influenced.
In einer zweckmässigen Ergänzung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, in den Kühlbohrungen Mittel zur Verbesserung des Wärmeübergangs zwischen Kühlluft und Deckbandelement vorzusehen. In an expedient supplement of the invention is proposed in the Cooling holes Means for improving the heat transfer between cooling air and shroud element.
Die Mittel zur Verbesserung des Wärmeübergangs an den Bohrungswänden können Rauhigkeiten, Rippen und/oder Turbulatoren umfassen. In an sich bekannter Weise können die Bohrungen mittels des sogenannten "STEM drilling"-Prozesses erstellt werden. Insbesondere durch das "STEM drilling", das beispielsweise in der US-A-5,306,401 im Zusammenhang mit der Herstellung von Kühllöchern in Turbinenschaufeln beschrieben worden ist, lassen sich einfach und zuverlässig Kühlbohrungen mit verbesserten Wärmeübergangseigenschaften erzeugen.The means for improving the heat transfer at the bore walls can Roughnesses, ribs and / or turbulators include. In known per se The drilling can be done by means of the so-called "STEM drilling" process to be created. In particular, by the "STEM drilling", for example, in the US-A-5,306,401 in connection with the manufacture of cooling holes in turbine blades has been described, can be easily and reliably cooling holes produce with improved heat transfer properties.
Eine bessere Ausnutzung der Kühlluft kann weiterhin erreicht werden, wenn gemäss einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung in den Kühlbohrungen jeweils eine Drosselstelle zur Begrenzung des Kühlluftmassenstromes vorgesehen ist, und die Drosselstellen jeweils an der Eingangsseite der Kühlbohrungen angeordnet sind.Better utilization of the cooling air can continue to be achieved if according to another preferred embodiment of the invention in the cooling holes in each case a throttle point for limiting the cooling air mass flow is provided, and the throttle points respectively at the input side of the cooling holes are arranged.

In Fig. 1 ist in der Draufsicht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform einer Turbinenschaufel
nach der Erfindung dargestellt. Die Turbinenschaufel 10 umfasst das eigentliche
Schaufelprofil 23 und ein quer dazu an der Schaufelspitze angeordnetes
Deckbandelement 11, welches zusammen mit den Deckbandelementen der anderen
(nicht gezeigten) Schaufeln ein durchgehendes, mechanisch stabilisierendes
Deckband ergibt. Das Schaufelprofil 23 ist im Inneren teilweise hohl und von einem
oder mehreren Kühlluftkanälen 18 durchzogen, die Kühlluft vom Schaufelfuss
bis in die Schaufelspitze leiten. Das Deckbandelement 11 hat auf seiner Oberseite
22 zwei parallel in Bewegungsrichtung der Schaufelspitze verlaufende Dichtrippen
12 und 13, die zusammen mit der gegenüberliegenden Gehäusewand 20 der Gasturbine
eine durch Spalte mit der Umgebung verbundene Kavität 21 bilden.
Im Inneren des Deckbandelementes 11 verlaufen zwischen und im wesentlichen
parallel zu den Rippen 12, 13 mehrere Kühlbohrungen 17 von der Mitte ausgehend
nach aussen. Die Kühlbohrungen 17 stehen eingangsseitig mit dem Kühlluftkanal
18 in Verbindung und werden von diesem mit Kühlluft versorgt. Wie aus Fig.
1 entnehmen kann, erstrecken sich die Kühlbohrungen 17 nicht ganz bis zum seitlichen
Ende bzw. Rand des Deckbandelementes 11, sondern münden jeweils von
der Seite her in eine längliche, auf der Oberseite 22 in das Deckbandelement 11
eingelassen Vertiefung 15. Es ist denkbar, die Kühlbohrungen 17 leicht schräg
und von einer Parallelität untereinander abweichend verlaufen zu lassen, wenn es
zur Optimierung der Kühlung über die gesamte Fläche des Deckbandelementes
11 nötig ist.In Fig. 1, a preferred embodiment of a turbine blade according to the invention is shown in plan view. The

Die Kühlbohrungen 17 in der gezeigten Kühlungsanordnung werden vorzugsweise
mit dem sogenannten "STEM drilling"-Verfahren hergestellt, das in der US
5,306,401 in allen Einzelheiten beschrieben ist. Dadurch ist es (durch Veränderung
des Vorschubs) möglich, die Oberfläche der Kühlbohrungen 17 mit Rauhigkeiten,
Rippen oder Turbulatoren auszurüsten. Dies führt zu einer deutlich effizienteren
Kühlung, weil die Form der Kühlbohrung optimiert werden kann. Weiterhin
ist es vorteilhaft, die Kühlbohrungen 17, vorzugsweise eingangsseitig, d.h. im Bereich
der Kühlluftversorgung am Profil 23, jeweils mit einer Drosselstelle 19 auszustatten.
Dadurch wird es möglich, den Kühlluftmassenstrom gezielt zu begrenzen
und eine deutlich effizientere Kühlung zu erhalten.The cooling holes 17 in the cooling arrangement shown are preferably
manufactured using the so-called "STEM drilling" method described in the US Pat
5,306,401 is described in detail. This is what it is (through change
the feed), the surface of the cooling holes 17 with roughness,

Die Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von jener gemäss Fig. 1
darin, dass die Kühlbohrungen 17 ab der Drosselstelle 19, welche jeweils an der
Eingangsseite jeder Kühlbohrung angeordnet ist, als Diffusor 16a oder diffusorähnlich
ausgebildet sind.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform - dargestellt in Fig.4 - weisen die Kühlbohrungen
eine ovale Konfiguration auf. Dies erhöht, wie die Ausrüstung mit inneren
Rauhigkeiten oder die diffusorartige Erweiterung, die zur Wärmeübertragung zur
Verfügung stehende wirksame Oberfläche.
Die Kühlbohrungen 17 können darüber hinaus oder alternativ andere Konfigurationen
aufweisen als die oben beschriebenen. Als solche sind beispielsweise regelmässig
oder unregelmässig gehaltene Vertiefungen oder Wellungen denkbar.The embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 in that the cooling bores 17 are designed as diffuser 16a or diffuser-like from the
According to a further embodiment - shown in Figure 4 - the cooling holes have an oval configuration. This increases, like the equipment with internal roughness or the diffuser-like extension, the effective surface area available for heat transfer.
The cooling holes 17 may additionally or alternatively have other configurations than those described above. As such, for example, regularly or irregularly held depressions or corrugations are conceivable.
Zur Vermeidung der Nachteile des Standes der Technik sind die Seitenkanten 25
der Deckbandelemente 11 aber so ausgeführt, dass benachbarte Elemente 11 nur
bereichsweise in Kontakt stehen, der Bereich der austretenden Kühlbohrungen
aber demgegenüber in einer Vertiefung zurückgenommen ist. Zwischen den benachbarten
Elementen bilden die gegenüberliegenden Vertiefungen 15 Spalte 26,
in die die Kühlluft eintritt.
Diese Ausführung verhindert zuverlässig ein Verschliessen der Mündungen durch
benachbarte Deckbandelemente. Sie gewährleistet, dass die Kühlluft immer durch
die Kühlbohrungen 17 hindurchtreten kann, auch wenn zwei benachbarte Deckbandelemente
11 in mechanischem Kontakt stehen.
Die aus beiden benachbarten Elementen 11 in den Spalt 26 eintretende Kühlluft
teilt sich in zwei Teilströme auf. Ein Teilstrom strömt nach oben und führt zu einem
Aufblasen der Kavität 21 oberhalb des Deckbandes und trägt damit zu einer Verkleinerung
des eindringenden Massenstromes an Heissgas 24 bei, während der
andere Teilstrom auf die Unterseite des Deckbandes gelangt und sich dort mit den
Heissgasen mischt. Die sich einstellende Mischtemperatur verringert die thermische
Belastung in diesem Bereich.
Durch die konstruktive Gestaltung des Spaltes kann das Mengenverhältnis der
beiden Teilströme beeinflusst werden. So können Ober- und Unterseite eine unterschiedliche
Spaltweite aufweisen oder die Begrenzungswände geneigt oder
strömungstechnisch unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. To avoid the disadvantages of the prior art, the side edges 25 of the
This embodiment reliably prevents closure of the mouths by adjacent shroud elements. It ensures that the cooling air can always pass through the cooling holes 17, even if two
