Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turbine blade of a turbine rotor blade ring according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the EP 1 688 587 A2 describes a generic turbine blade in which a cooling air channel is formed in the blade root, which transports cooling air into the turbine blade.
  • a turbine blade is known in which a cooling air channel for cooling air is formed in the blade root, which is symmetrical towards the pressure side and the suction side and thereby expands to a maximum.
  • the cooling medium is deflected on both sides.
  • the US 2010/290920 A1 describes a turbine blade that forms a cooling air duct in the area of the blade root.
  • the cooling air duct has a first, widening section and a second, narrowing section, the cooling medium in the second section being accelerated with a directional component in the direction of the suction side of the turbine blade.
  • the first section of the cooling air duct is symmetrical.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a turbine blade in which a cooling medium enables improved cooling.
  • a cooling air duct of a turbine blade has a course in at least one section such that its cross-sectional area increases in the flow direction of the cooling medium in a first, widening section to a maximum, then decreases again in a second, narrowing section behind the maximum, and the cooling medium in the second, narrowing section with a directional component in the direction of the suction side the turbine blade is accelerated. It is provided that the cooling air duct forms a bulge in the direction of the pressure side in the region of the maximum, the cooling medium being deflected in the direction of the pressure side in the first section and in the direction of the suction side in the second section.
  • the present invention is based on the idea of first decelerating the cooling medium in the first, widening section and then accelerating it in the second, narrowing section, thereby shaping the cooling air duct in such a way that the cooling medium during acceleration, which is in itself experiences narrowing second section, is deflected towards the suction side of the turbine disc.
  • the effect of the Coriolis force which accelerates the cooling medium during the rotation of the turbine blade in the direction of the pressure side, is at least partially compensated.
  • the cooling medium can flow in an improved manner in the cooling air duct, although the heat transfer over all walls of the cooling air duct is evened out. The result is a more homogeneous temperature distribution and improved cooling of the turbine blade.
  • the more homogeneous temperature distribution also reduces thermally induced stresses in the material of the turbine disk.
  • the cooling air duct is shaped such that it forms a bulge in the direction of the pressure side in the area of the maximum, i.e. bulges only in the direction of the pressure side or more in the direction of the pressure side than in the direction of the suction side.
  • This shape of the first section has the effect that the cooling medium can be guided in the direction of the pressure side in the first section and can thereby be accelerated or deflected effectively in the direction of the suction side in the second section.
  • the invention leads to a bulge of the cooling air duct, which is caused by the widening and narrowing sections.
  • the present invention is described with reference to a cylindrical coordinate system which has the coordinates x, r and ⁇ .
  • X indicates the axial direction, r the radial direction and ⁇ the angle in the circumferential direction.
  • the axial direction is generally identical to the machine axis of a gas turbine or a turbofan engine in which the invention is implemented. Starting from the x-axis, the radial direction points radially outwards.
  • Terms such as “in front”, “behind”, “front” and “rear” refer to the axial direction or the flow direction in the gas turbine or the cooling air duct described here. The designation “before” thus means “upstream” and the designation “behind” means “downstream”. Terms such as “outer” or “inner” refer to the radial direction.
  • the geometric course of a cooling air duct is expediently described here via its center line, which represents the connecting line of all geometric centers (centroids) of the cross-sectional areas of the cooling air duct.
  • a cross-sectional area of the cooling air duct that is representative of the flow is defined such that the center line of the cooling air duct always penetrates the plane of the cross-sectional area perpendicularly.
  • the normal vector of such a cross-sectional area corresponds to the tangent vector to the center line in the geometric center (center of area) of the respective cross-sectional area.
  • the cooling air duct has a first cross-sectional area A1 at the beginning of the widening partial section, a second cross-sectional area A2 at the end of the narrowing partial section and a third cross-sectional area A3 at the maximum.
  • the relationship between the first cross-sectional area A1 and the third cross-sectional area A3 is: 1 ⁇ A3 / A1 5. 5.
  • the ratio of the maximum cross-sectional area to the cross-sectional area at the beginning of the first section should therefore be less than or equal to 5.
  • the cross-sectional area should increase in the first partial area by a maximum of a factor of 5 in order to avoid an excessive delay in the flow of the cooling air medium.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the following applies to the ratio of first cross-sectional area A1, second cross-sectional area A2 and third cross-sectional area A3: A1 ⁇ A2 ⁇ A3. Mathematically this can also be expressed by the relationship: A3 / A1> A3 / A2.
  • the (second) cross-sectional area at the end of the second, tapering partial area is therefore larger than the (first) cross-sectional area at the beginning of the first, widening partial area. Both of these cross sections are smaller than that maximum cross-section at the transition from the first section to the second section. It should be noted that the cooling medium in the second section also experiences an acceleration and direction component in the direction of the suction side of the turbine blade.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the cooling air duct does not exceed a maximum degree of divergence over the first, widening partial section. Similar to an opening angle definition for diffusers, the increase in the cross-sectional area of the cooling air duct in the first section is expediently related to the length of the flow path in the same, so that this ratio describes the degree of divergence in the first section. For the purposes of the present invention, this ratio is defined as A 3rd - A 1 2nd s ⁇ 6 .
  • size s describes the length of the cooling air duct along its center line in the first section and sizes A1 and A3 already mentioned the cross-sectional areas of the cooling air duct at the beginning and at the end of the first section.
  • the ratio thus defined which indicates the degree of divergence in the widening subsection, is thus a maximum of 6.
  • the ratio mentioned is in the range between 1.25 and 6 and in particular in the range between 1.25 and 2: 1.25 ⁇ A 3rd - A 1 2nd s ⁇ 2nd .
  • the design of the cooling air duct can be rotationally symmetrical or rotationally asymmetrical with respect to its center line.
  • cooling air duct has a rotational asymmetry with respect to its center line in the region of the first section, that is to say the duct widening has a preferred direction.
  • the expansion of the cooling air duct takes place solely or more strongly in the direction of the pressure side of the blading.
  • the divergence in the first section in the direction of the pressure side of the blade is greater than the divergence in the direction of the suction side.
  • the cooling air duct bulges out in the direction of the pressure side.
  • the cooling medium in the second section can be accelerated more effectively in the direction of the suction side.
  • a divergence in the first section which is greater in the direction of the pressure side of the blade than in the direction of the suction side, is associated with the fact that the center line of the cooling air duct in the first section has a directional component in the direction of the pressure side of the turbine blade or is inclined in the direction of the pressure side.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the cooling air duct in the narrowing section has a deflection angle ⁇ that is smaller than 175 ° and is, for example, in the range between 110 ° and 170 °, in particular in the range between 140 ° and 170 °.
  • the deflection angle indicates the degree of deflection of the cooling air duct in the second section. More precisely, ⁇ is defined as the angle that lies between the two vectors A 3 A 1 and A 3 A 2 spans. Both vectors describe the direct connection line between the geometric centers (centroids) of the cross-sectional areas A3 and A2 or A3 and A1. This definition thus indicates the mean deflection angle of the cooling air duct over both sections, in the direction of the suction side.
  • the invention further provides that to accelerate the cooling medium in the second, narrowing section with a directional component in the direction of the suction side of the turbine blade, the cooling air duct is shaped such that the center line of the cooling air duct in the narrowing section is a directional component in the direction of the suction side of the Has turbine blade.
  • the first, widening section according to the invention is shaped such that the center line of the cooling air duct in the first section has a directional component in the direction of the pressure side of the turbine blade.
  • a beginning of a first, widening partial section is to exist if the cooling air duct upstream of such a beginning has a constant cross-sectional area profile, a convergent profile or a divergent profile that is so slight that the cross-sectional area along the The center line of the cooling air duct upstream of the considered beginning of the first section was only slightly enlarged.
  • the degree of divergence of the cooling air duct ⁇ A 2nd s is less than 1.25, so 1.25 > ⁇ A 2nd s applies.
  • the cooling air duct under consideration can basically have an embodiment according to the invention at any point in the turbine blade for accelerating the cooling medium in the direction of the suction side.
  • Such an embodiment is particularly effectively provided in a section of the cooling air duct in which the cooling medium primarily moves in the radial direction and before the cooling air duct branches into a plurality of smaller cooling ducts.
  • an embodiment of the invention provides that the turbine blade has a blade root which is provided and suitable for being arranged in a blade root receptacle of a turbine disk, the first widening section and the second narrowing section being formed in a section of the cooling air duct , which is arranged in the blade root.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the cross-sectional area of the second, narrowing subsection decreases successively behind the maximum and without a jump.
  • a method for transporting a cooling medium in a turbine blade of a turbine blade ring provides that the cooling medium is decelerated in a first section of the cooling air duct and then accelerated in a subsequent second section with a directional component in the direction of the suction side of the turbine blade.
  • the cooling medium is guided such that it first experiences a directional component in the direction of the pressure side in the first section and a directional component in the direction of the suction side in the second section and is thus diverted in the direction of the suction side.

  • the cross-sectional expansion can be rotationally symmetrical or alternatively rotationally asymmetrical with respect to the center line of the cooling air duct.
  • the rotationally asymmetrical channel widening which is initially accompanied by a routing of the cooling air channel 16 in the direction of the pressure side, leads to an increase in the structurally feasible deflection angle ⁇ in the second partial area 6.
  • the degree of divergence of the expanding cooling air duct 16 should not exceed a maximum degree of divergence. Similar to an opening angle definition for diffusers, the maximum increase in the cross-sectional area of the cooling air duct 16 in the first subsection 3 is expediently related to the length of the flow path in the same, so that this ratio describes the degree of divergence in the first subsection 3. For the purposes of the present invention, this maximum ratio is defined as A 3rd - A 1 2nd s ⁇ 6 .
  • the size s describes the length of the cooling air duct along its center line in the first subsection 3 and the sizes A1 and A3 already mentioned the cross-sectional areas of the cooling air duct 16 at the beginning and respectively at the end of the first subsection 3.
  • the ratio is between 1.25 and 2.
  • the cross-sectional area ratio A3 / A1 is in the range between 1 and 5, for example between 2 and 4.
  • the cross-sectional area A3 at the transition between the first partial area 3 and the second partial area 6 represents the maximum cross-sectional area. Starting from this maximum, the cooling air duct 16 tapers in the second partial area 6.
  • the convergence of the cooling air duct in the second partial area 6 is defined by the ratio A3 / A2. It is provided that this ratio is less than the ratio A3 / A1, in other words A1 is less than A2 and A2 is less than A3: A 1 ⁇ A 2nd ⁇ A 3rd .
  • the shape of the convergence in the second partial region 6 is determined, inter alia, by the convergence or deflection angle ⁇ .
  • This is the angle ⁇ is defined as the angle that lies between the two vectors A 3 A 1 and A 3 A 2 spans. Both vectors describe the direct connection line between the geometric centers (centroids) 310, 210 and 110 of the cross-sectional areas A3 and A2 or A3 and A1.
  • the definition thus specifies the mean deflection angle of the cooling air duct over both subsections 3, 6, in the direction of the suction side.
  • the deflection angle ⁇ is a maximum of 175 °. It is, for example, in the range between 110 ° and 170 °, in particular in the range between 140 ° and 170 °.
  • cross-sectional area mentioned here is defined by a normal vector which corresponds to the tangent vector to the center line in the geometric center (center of area) of the cross-sectional area.
  • the first, widening section 3 is shaped such that the vector A 1 A 3 or the center line of the cooling air duct in the first subsection 3, which is at least approximately the vector A 1 A 3 corresponds to, due to the bulge 7, which extends in the direction of the pressure side 25, has a directional component towards the cross-sectional area A3 in the direction of the pressure side 25 and does not run exactly radially.
  • the Figure 7 shows an example of an embodiment of a cooling air duct 16, which corresponds to the Figure 6 shaped and formed in the blade root 21 of a turbine blade 200.
  • the Figures 8, 9 and 10 show cross sections perpendicular to the radial direction of the blade root 21 at the height of the cross section A2 ( Figure 8 ), of cross section A3 ( Figure 9 ) and cross section A1 ( Figure 10 ).
  • the Figure 7 shows the first diverging section 3 with the wall contours 31, 32, the second converging wall section 6 with the wall contours 61, 62 and the three cross-sectional areas A1, A3, and A2.
  • the bulge 7 extends in the direction of the pressure side 25.
  • the cooling air duct 16 is approximately circular in the area of the cross-sectional area A1 (rotationally symmetrical with respect to the center line). Wall areas that extend in the direction of the pressure side or suction side are not provided. According to the Figure 9 the cooling air duct 16 is no longer circular in the area of the cross-sectional area A3 (but rotationally asymmetrical with respect to the center line). Rather, the wall areas 31, 32 designed as described lead according to FIG Figure 7 to a greater extent in the circumferential direction (between the pressure side and the suction side) than in the axial direction. The same applies according to the Figure 8 for the cooling air duct 16 in the area of the cross-sectional area A2, wherein the inclined wall area 62 can be seen in the top view shown from above.
