Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coolable blade for a gas turbine or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a blade is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 5,498,133 the invention is based. It is essentially one shovel blade, one Blade base and a blade root built.
  • the airfoil has one suction-side and a pressure-side wall, which have a front and a rear edge are interconnected.
  • the walls define the profile shape and enclose within a cavity that is used for cooling purposes.
  • At least one cooling channel is integrated, which is usually from a cooling medium air is flowing through.
  • the blade is basically sufficient to cool and thus achieve the designed service life.
  • the exhaust openings in the area of the rear edge are drilled, cast, eroded, etched or produced in another way and penetrate the wall section from the cooling channel to the outer surface.
  • the cooling medium reduces the wall temperature through heat conduction and thereby improves component life.
  • the trailing edge area is particularly critical in this context the blade root, which is often the one that limits lifespan Area of the shovel proves. Despite the reduction in wall temperatures leads to the creation of blow-out openings in the area of the rear edge Increase in stress.
  • the invention tries to avoid the disadvantages described. You are the Task based on a coolable blade for a gas turbine or the like of the type mentioned at the outset, which has an increased service life and with which it succeeds, in particular the mechanical and thermal loads in the trailing edge area of the blade root.
  • the blade root at least in the area the trailing edge has a concavely curved contour and one the blow-out openings are arranged as blow-out slots on the blade root.
  • the outlet slot extends radially in the exit plane at the rear edge Direction at least over the entire area of the blade root and has a cross-sectional shape that at least in the exit plane of the contour the blade root follows so far that wall sections with approximately constant Wall thickness arise.
  • the objective is pursued, on the one hand, the temperature load this critical point and thus lower the wall temperature.
  • the stress concentration is reduced by adapting the contour as a result, notch effect avoided, which otherwise combined the advantages would nullify with the reduced temperature.
  • the mechanical and thermal loads in the particularly endangered area to reduce and thus increase the service life.
  • blow-out slot fits the airfoil has associated radial section with constant width, which in one of the Radial section associated with the blade root merges continuously, which is the Basic shape of an isosceles triangle with concavely curved legs owns.
  • the mechanical load can be optimal in this area be intercepted.
  • blow-out slots described above can be exact Arrangement and shape for given steady-state operating conditions Optimize the gas turbine so that it acts on the outside of the blade root Tension due to the inside of the exhaust slot due to the Pressure gradients caused by temperature gradients are largely compensated for. The consequence of this is a reduced load on the outer surface of the Blade root, through the appropriate contouring of the lower, radial inside area is given.
  • blow-out slot is in the radial direction upwards into the area of the airfoil and downwards into the area of the blade root extends into it.
  • a first variant is the cross-sectional shape of the blow-out slot continuously between the entry level at the cooling channel and the exit level to maintain the surface of the blade tip. This shape allows a maximum Cooling effect and minimizes the mechanical stress concentration in the Area of the blade wall.
  • a second option is the shape of a in the entry level on the cooling channel provide radially extending longitudinal slot, which is in the direction of flow of the cooling medium continuously expanded and in the special cross-sectional shape in passes the exit level.
  • the radial extension (length) can be constant are kept, whereas the width of the slot is continuously on the Slot geometry in the exit plane merges. This variant stands out due to a lower consumption of cooling medium and avoids voltage peaks in the entrance level at the cooling channel.
  • the outlet slot is in the direction of flow of the cooling medium increases radially.
  • the cooling medium is thus at a preferably acute angle with respect to the horizontal plane blown out and aligned with the main hot gas flow.
  • the contouring of the blade root leads to Connection with the exhaust slot for improved accessibility of the inside of the airfoil formed cavity.
  • This aspect wins in particular a decisive one when using the gas turbine in regions with high dust pollution Role, because there the cavity is flushed at certain intervals got to.
  • the cooling blade according to the invention is not can only be used as a stator, but also as a rotor blade. It is also possible the exhaust slot in the radial direction continuously over the entire rear edge to extend and thus a variety of individual cooling holes in this Area to replace. This variant has manufacturing advantages and leads in addition to an ideally uniform appearance when viewed in the radial direction the cooling air flow at the rear edge.
  • the basic structure of the coolable blade 1 according to the invention results can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the blade 1 has an airfoil 10 and a blade root 30, with the transition area between the airfoil 10 and the blade root 30 a blade root 40 is formed.
  • the airfoil 10 consists of a suction side wall 12 and a pressure side Wall 14 constructed, each opposite a front edge 16 and a trailing edge 18 are connected to each other. Between the suction side Wall 12 and the pressure side wall 14 thus creates a cavity 20, which is continuously in the radial direction r from the blade 10 into the blade root 30 extends into it.
  • the cavity 20 is flowed through by a cooling medium K, which over the area of the blade root 30, meandering in the area of the blade 10 deflected several times and through discharge openings in the form of through holes 60 and a blowout slot 50 is blown out.
  • a cooling medium K is usually used air that comes from the compressor stage, not shown here is branched off.
  • the blade root 40 has a concave curve in the area of the rear edge 18 Contour course on, so that a continuous transition without a jump in curvature is realized by the blade 10 in the blade root 30.
  • the blowout slot 50 is arranged, which is continuously between an entry level 56 on the cavity 20 and an exit level 58 extends at the rear edge 18.
  • the area of the blade root 40 it has a cross-sectional shape in the exit plane 58 which corresponds to the outer contour the blade 40 follows so far that wall sections on both sides 42 with approximately constant wall thickness d.
  • the blow-out slot 50 merges upwards into a radial section 52 which has a constant width b in the manner of a longitudinal slot.
  • the width is b chosen such that a constant wall thickness is also present in this radial section 52 d remains.
  • the blowout slot 50 has the basic shape of an isosceles Triangles with concave legs.
  • the blowout slot 50 thus covers the entire area of the blade root 40 and protrudes into the two adjacent areas of the airfoil 10 and the Blade root 30 into it.
  • the cross-sectional shape in connection with the chosen one Contour course of the blade root 40 prevents notch stresses in it critical area and at the same time enables effective cooling.
  • 3 and 4 are two variants of a possible cross-sectional profile between the entrance plane 56 on the cavity 20 and the exit plane 58 on the Trailing edge 18 indicated.
  • the first variant according to FIG. 3 has a continuous, constant cross-sectional shape on. It enables a high throughput of cooling medium, so that the cooling effect on the rear edge 18 can be adjusted to a maximum.
  • the variant shown in Fig. 4 has one in the flow direction of the cooling medium K continuously changing cross section.
  • At entry level 56 is a continuous longitudinal slot of constant width available, which extends to the exit plane 58 expanded and reached there the pear-shaped cross-sectional shape.
  • This Variant has the advantage of lower cooling medium K consumption.
  • Hot gas flow occurs when the blow-out slot 50 is between the entry level 56 and the exit plane 58 extends radially as shown in FIG. 1 is indicated.
  • the cooling concept described above is suitable for applications in control and blades equally well.
  • the outer contour of the blade root approximate course of the cross-sectional geometry of the blow-out slot enables the effective reduction of material stress in particular critical area of the trailing edge, increasing the lifespan of the bucket can be increased significantly overall.
