Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a component a turbomachine, in particular a turbine blade, which can be flowed through by a cooling medium Cooling channel with at least one through the wall of the cooling channel formed deflection through which the flow of the cooling medium from a first Canal section into a downstream second Channel section is deflected, being in the area of Deflecting at least one flow guiding element in the Cooling channel is arranged through which the cooling channel in the diversion into an inner and an outer Flow channel is divided.
  • a separate cooling duct 2a is additionally provided, via which part of the cooling air is guided to the front and tip of the blade in order to exit there via corresponding openings 4.
  • the flow pattern of the cooling air within the airfoil is indicated by the arrows.
  • 180 ° deflections 5 are required in the vicinity of the blade tip or the blade root, which connect the different sections of the cooling air duct 2 to one another.
  • complicated flow patterns with dead water areas develop, which lead to large pressure losses over the length of the cooling air duct 2 and thus require an increased pumping capacity for the transport of the cooling air.
  • the task is performed using the component Claim 1 solved.
  • Advantageous configurations the component are the subject of the subclaims.
  • the proposed solution is therefore a Reduction of pressure losses in the redirection simultaneous homogenization of the heat transfer between the cooling medium and the wall material of the Component reached.
  • the present design is regardless of the further configuration of the Component, in particular regardless of the rib configuration in the first and second channel section, in Hereinafter also referred to as the inlet and outlet duct, as well as possible curves on the outer Edge areas of the deflection. Such details, that with a variety of gas turbine blades occur do not affect the beneficial Effect of the present invention.
  • the drilling leads to the dissolution of the dead water areas and thus contributes to a homogenization of the heat transfer. Furthermore, these bores can bring about the desired side effect that dust particles in the cooling medium are blown out through the bores. To reinforce this side effect, the longitudinal axes of the bores are aligned approximately in the direction of the local streamlines of the flow of the cooling medium in the cooling channel. Due to the low adjacent flow velocity, the additional bores only make a small contribution to the global pressure loss via the cooling channel, which, due to the advantageous effect mentioned above, is hardly noticeable to minimize the pressure loss.
  • the thickness of the partition wall increases in the region of the deflection, in order to reduce the corresponding constriction within the region due to this increase in thickness inner flow channel.
  • the shape of the contour of this partition wall, which separates the outlet duct from the inlet duct, can be different in order to bring about the effect mentioned.
  • the flow guide element is preferably such trained and arranged within the deflection, that about 25 to 45% of the mass flow from the Inlet channel into the flow entering the deflection the area within the flow guide element, i.e. into the inner flow channel, enters and the rest outside the baffle, i.e. in the outer flow channel, flows.
  • the mass flow ratio corresponds to that Entry cross-sectional area ratio of the outer and inner flow channel.
  • the area ratio on The outlet duct should be roughly the same as the inlet duct correspond, i.e. it shouldn't be more than 20% deviate from this ratio.
  • the round baffle vary in thickness, or even again with Guide devices should be provided.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation Embodiment for the design of the cooling channel deflection 5 the component of a turbomachine according to the present invention.
  • the flow direction of the cooling medium is in turn through in this figure thick arrows indicated.
  • the cooling medium overflows a first channel section 9 in the deflection 5 and thence to a second canal section 10.
  • the two Channel sections 9 and 10 are used in this example separated from each other by a partition 11, the Is part of the cooling channel wall 12.
  • Such one Cooling channel can be in a usual gas turbine blade, as shown for example in FIG. 1, be arranged.
  • the deflection baffle is designed such that approximately 25 to 45% of the mass flow of the flow entering the deflection 5 from the inlet duct 9 flows into the area of the inner flow channel 13 and the rest flows into the area of the outer flow channel 14.
  • the mass flow ratio corresponds to the inlet area ratio A '/ B'.
  • the area ratio at the outlet duct A "/ B" in this example corresponds to the area ratio at the inlet duct and should not deviate more than ⁇ 20% from A '/ B'.
  • the holes 15 depending on location with its axis of drilling approximately in Direction of the streamlines of the flow of the cooling medium aligned so that - as an additional side effect - the discharge of small particles or dust in the Cooling air can take place via the bores 15.
  • FIG. 5 shows another preferred Embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 3.
  • the flow guide element 8 has a number of bores 16, which contribute to dust and Dirt accumulation in the outer 14 or inner 13 Avoid flow channel.
  • Figure 6 shows another Possibility to achieve this effect.
  • the Flow guide element is in several sub-elements, 8a and 8b, divided between which a gap is trained, which has the same effect as the bores 16 in FIG. 5.
