Description
GAS TURBINE ENGINE TURBINE BLADE TIP COOLING
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to United States Provisional Application No. 61/902,497, which was filed on November 11, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] This disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a tip cooling configuration for an airfoil.
[0003] Gas turbine engines typically include a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. During operation, air is pressurized in the compressor section and is mixed with fuel and burned in the combustor section to generate hot combustion gases. The hot combustion gases are communicated through the turbine section, which extracts energy from the hot combustion gases to power the compressor section and other gas turbine engine loads.
[0004] Both the compressor and turbine sections may include alternating series of rotating blades and stationary vanes that extend into the core flow path of the gas turbine engine. For example, in the turbine section, turbine blades rotate and extract energy from the hot combustion gases that are communicated along the core flow path of the gas turbine engine. The turbine vanes, which generally do not rotate, guide the airflow and prepare it for the next set of blades.
[0005] In the pursuit of ever higher efficiencies, gas turbine manufacturers have long relied on higher and higher turbine inlet temperatures to provide boosts to overall engine performance. In typical modern engine applications the gas path temperatures within the turbine exceed the melting point of the component constituent materials. Due to this, dedicated cooling air is extracted from the compressor and used to cool the gas path components in the turbine incurring significant cycle penalties.
[0006] Turbine blades typically include internal cooling passages. Film cooling holes communicate cooling fluid from the cooling passages to high temperature areas on the exterior surface of the turbine blade that may experience undesirably high temperatures. One high temperature area is the tip of the airfoil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] The disclosed cooling configuration may be used in various gas turbine engine applications. A gas turbine engine uses a compressor section that compresses air. The compressed air is provided to a combustor where the compressed air and fuel is mixed and burned. The hot combustion gases pass over a turbine to provide work that may be used for thrust or driving another system component. Many of the engine components, such as blades, vanes, combustor and exhaust liners, blade outer air seals and instrument probes, are subjected to very high temperatures such that cooling may become necessary. The disclosed cooling configuration and manufacturing method may be used for any gas turbine engine component. For exemplary purposes, a turbine blade 10 is described.
[0040] Referring to Figures 1A and IB, a root 12 of each turbine blade 10 is mounted to the rotor disk 16. The turbine blade 10 includes a platform 14, which provides the inner flow path, supported by the root 12. An airfoil 18 extends in a radial direction R from the platform 14 to a tip 28. It should be understood that the turbine blades may be integrally formed with the rotor such that the roots are eliminated. In such a configuration, the platform is provided by the outer diameter of the rotor. The airfoil 18 provides leading and trailing edges 20, 22. The tip 28 is arranged adjacent to a blade outer air seal 30.
[0041] The airfoil 18 of Figure IB somewhat schematically illustrates exterior airfoil surface extending in a chord-wise direction C from a leading edge 20 to a trailing edge 22. The airfoil 18 is provided between pressure (typically concave) and suction (typically convex) wall 24, 26 in an airfoil thickness direction T, which is generally perpendicular to the chord-wise direction C. Multiple turbine blades 10 are arranged circumferentially in a circumferential direction A. The airfoil 18 extends from the platform 14 in the radial direction R, or spanwise, to the tip 28.
[0042] The airfoil 18 includes a cooling passage 32 provided between the pressure and suction walls 20, 22. The exterior airfoil surface 34 may include multiple film cooling holes (not shown) in fluid communication with the cooling passage 32.
[0043] Referring to Figures 2A-3C, the tip 28 includes an end face 36, which is configured to be adjacent to the BOAS. A pocket 38 is provided in the tip 28. An overhang 42 circumscribes the pocket 38 and provides the end face 36. The overhang 42 forms an interior perimeter 44 arranged within the pocket 38. As best shown in Figures 3B-3C, the
overhang 42 includes a radially inwardly extending lip 46, which forms a groove 50 that is substantially enclosed by the overhang 42. An exit 48 is provided between the lip 46 and the end wall 39.
[0044] At least one cooling hole 40, round or shaped, extend through the end wall 39 in a generally radial direction to fluidly interconnect the cooling passage 32 and the groove 50. The holes 40 can be oriented in other directions, if desired. An impingement cooling flow is provided through the at least one hole 40 into the groove 50 and onto the overhang 42, which cools the end face 36. Cooling fluid within the groove is permitted to pass through the exit 48 and into the pocket 38.
[0045] The at least one discrete holes lie around the tip cap and are angled to the most optimal impingement location along the tip region. The holes would be angled such that they impinge on the interior of the cavity while balancing degradation effects of their impingement angle. The post impingement air pressurizes the cavity. The air then ejects through the blade tip such that the pocket 38 acts as a traditional blade tip film cooling.
[0046] The cooling configuration employs relatively complex geometry that cannot be formed by traditional casting methods. To this end, additive manufacturing techniques may be used in a variety of ways to manufacture an airfoil with the disclosed cooling configuration. In one example, as schematically illustrated in Figure 3C, a first portion 60 of the airfoil 18 may be formed by a typical casting technique. The tip 28 of the airfoil may be formed by additively manufacturing a second portion 62 in which the remaining tip is deposited directly on to the casting portion 60. For example, the cast blade is placed into a fixture within a powder-bed additive machine (such as an EOS 280) and the last 10% of the blade is directly additively manufactured.
[0047] Other manufacturing techniques are schematically illustrated in Figure 4. This core could be constructed using a variety of processes such as photo-polymerized ceramic, electron beam melted powder refractory metal, or injected ceramic based on an additively built disposable core die. The core and/or shell molds for the airfoils are first produced using a layer-based additive process such as LAMP from Renaissance Systems. Further, the core could be made alone by utilizing EBM of molybdenum powder in a powder- bed manufacturing system.
[0048] A ceramic outer mold 52 and interior core mold 54 may be additively manufactured separately or as one piece to form a cavity 58 providing an airfoil shape. Molten metal is cast into cavity 58 to form the airfoil 18. Pins 56 interconnect the outer mold 52 and interior core mold 54 to provide the correspondingly shaped cooling holes.
[0049] Figure 5 illustrates a component 110 having an overhang 142 spaced from a wall 139 to provide a groove 150. A cooling hole 140 is in fluid communication with the groove 150, which provides an exit 148 without a lip.
[0050] Another component 210 is shown in Figure 6. The component 210 includes a groove 250 enclosed by the overhang 242 and the wall 239. A cooling hole 240 communicates cooling fluid to the groove 250. Fluid enters the pocket 238 through exits 248, which may be provided by slots, for example.
[0051] The cooling configuration provides increased engine efficiency through a realizable turbine blade cooling configuration with increased effectiveness of blade tip cooling. The shaped channel design provides cold wall surface area allowing for internal convection, increasing effectiveness over a normal tip cooling configuration.
[0052] It should also be understood that although a particular component arrangement is disclosed in the illustrated embodiment, other arrangements will benefit herefrom. Although particular step sequences are shown, described, and claimed, it should be understood that steps may be performed in any order, separated or combined unless otherwise indicated and will still benefit from the present invention.
[0053] Although the different examples have specific components shown in the illustrations, embodiments of this invention are not limited to those particular combinations. It is possible to use some of the components or features from one of the examples in combination with features or components from another one of the examples.
[0054] Although an example embodiment has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of the claims. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine their true scope and content.
