Abstract
The present application thus provides for a turbine component cooling system. The component cooling system may include a turbine component, an airflow passing adjacent to the turbine component, and a seal positioned adjacent to the turbine component. The seal may include a number of apertures so as to allow the airflow to pass therethrough.
Description
- The present application relates generally to gas turbine engines and more particularly relates through cooling hot engine components via airflow through seal components.
- A portion of the airflow through a turbine engine may be diverted and used for cooling purposes. The overall efficiency of the turbine engine, however, is decreased by the amount of air that is diverted for cooling purposes as opposed to being used for combustion. The less airflow diverted for cooling purposes or other types of parasitic airflows, the better the efficiency and operation of the gas turbine engine as a whole.
- By way of example, a retainer ring positioned about a stage one nozzle outer base and a stage one shroud may be cooled by a compressor discharge airflow. The retainer ring may include a number of circumferential grooves and radial slots therein. The retainer ring may be cooled with a cooling flow from the core airflow. Circumferential cooling of the retaining ring, however, may cause a circumferential temperature gradient therein. Moreover, machining the grooves in the retaining ring requires machining time and labor costs.
- There is thus a desire for improved systems and methods for component cooling that involves less airflow while increasing overall system efficiency. The systems and methods preferably also allow the use of less complicated and costly components
- The present application thus provides for a turbine component cooling system. The component cooling system may include a turbine component, an airflow passing adjacent to the turbine component, and a seal positioned adjacent to the turbine component. The seal may include a number of apertures so as to allow the airflow to pass therethrough.
- The present application further provides for a turbine component cooling system. The component cooling system may include a turbine component, an airflow passing adjacent to the turbine component, and a W-seal positioned adjacent to the turbine component. The W-seal may include a number of apertures so as to allow the airflow to pass therethrough.
- The present application further provides for a turbine component cooling system. The component cooling system may include a stage one nozzle outer base, a retaining ring positioned adjacent to the a stage one nozzle outer base, a stage one shroud positioned adjacent to the retaining ring, an airflow passing adjacent to the retaining ring along an air sealing plate, and a seal positioned between the air sealing plate and the stage one shroud. The seal may include a number of apertures so as to allow the airflow to pass therethrough.
- These and other features of the present application will become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art upon review of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the several drawings and the appended claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of a gas turbine engine. -
FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view of the inner section of a stage one nozzle outer base and a stage one shroud showing a retaining ring. -
FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the inner section of a stage one nozzle outer base and a stage one shroud showing a retaining ring and a W-seal as is described herein. -
FIG. 4 is a side plan view of the W-seal as may be used herein. -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the W-seal. - Referring now to the drawings, in which like numbers refer to like elements throughout the several views,
FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of agas turbine engine 100. As is known, thegas turbine engine 100 may include acompressor 110 to compress an incoming flow of air. Thecompressor 110 delivers the compressed flow of air to acombustor 120. Thecombustor 120 mixes the compressed flow of air with a compressed flow of fuel and ignites the mixture. The hot combustion gases are in turn delivered to aturbine 130. The hot combustion gases drive a number ofturbine buckets 140 so as to produce mechanical work. The mechanical work produced in theturbine 130 drives thecompressor 110 and also an external load such as an electrical generator and the like. Thegas turbine engine 100 may use natural gas, various types of syngas, and other types of fuels. Other types of gas turbine engines also may be used herein. The gas turbine engine 10 may have other configurations and may use other types of components. Multiplegas turbine engines 100, other types of turbines, and other types of power generation equipment may be used herein together. -
FIG. 2 is an expanded view of a portion of theturbine 130. Specifically, the intersection of aretaining ring 145 as positioned about a stage one nozzleouter base 150 and a stage oneshroud 160 as positioned within aturbine shell 170. Anair sealing plate 180 may be positioned between theretaining ring 145 and the stage oneshroud 160. Theair sealing plate 180 faces a number ofcircumferential grooves 190 positioned within theretaining ring 145 on one side and one or more W-seals 200 on the other side. Theretaining ring 145 with theair sealing plate 180 may be cooled by anairflow 195, in this case acompressor discharge airflow 195 passing through thecircumferential groves 190. Such circumferential air cooling, however, may cause a temperature gradient along theretaining ring 145 of up to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit (about 6.7 degrees Celsius) or so. -
FIG. 3 shows acomponent cooling system 210 as is described herein. Thecomponent cooling system 210 may include aturbine component 220. Theturbine component 220 may be aretaining ring 225. In this example, theretaining ring 225 includes anair sealing plate 230 but not thecircumferential grooves 190. Thecomponent cooling system 210 also may include one or more W-seals 240 positioned against theair sealing plate 210. As is shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , the W-seal 240 may include a number ofapertures 250 therein so as to permit acooling airflow 255 therethrough. Theapertures 250 may be about 0.07 inches (about 1.78 millimeters) in diameter and about 300 in number. The size and number of theapertures 250 may be varied with the desired cooling flow rate. - The W-
seal 240 may be made out of Inconel 718 or similar types of materials. (Inconel 718 is a nickel chromium alloy made precipitation hardenable by additions of aluminum and titanium and having creep rupture strength at high temperatures to about 1290 degrees Fahrenheit (about 700 degrees Celsius)). Inconel is a trademark of Huntington Alloys Corporation of Huntington, W.V. Other types or combinations of materials may be used herein. The Inconel material may have a thickness of about 0.01 inches (about 0.254 millimeters). - The
airflow 255 through the W-seal 240 may be about 0.215% W25. The use of the W-seals 240 may provide more uniform cooling of theretaining ring 225. Material and labor costs in producingcircumferential grooves 190 also are eliminated. Likewise, eliminating thecircumferential grooves 190 makes theretaining ring 225 structurally stronger. The W-seal 240 thus both meters thecooling airflow 255 therethrough while acting as the seal between the retainingring 145 and the stage oneshroud 160. The W-seals 240 described herein further may be used anywhere a cooling flow may be required. Other types of seals and other types ofturbine components 220 may be used with thecomponent cooling system 210 described herein. - It should be apparent that the foregoing relates only to certain embodiments of the present application and that numerous changes and modifications may be made herein by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the general spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims and the equivalents thereof.
