  • the present invention relates to gas turbine engines, and more specifically 5 to turbine blades and vanes with internal cooling air circuits.
  • turbine inlet temperature is limited to the material properties and cooling capabilities of the turbine parts. This is especially important for upstream stage turbine vanes and blades since these airfoils are exposed to the hottest gas flow in the system.

  • the inner and outer shrouds are subject to high heat flux because of the high gas temperature in the shroud area of the turbine.
  • the cooling air from the cooling circuits enters from the outer shroud and flows radially inwardly through a leading edge cavity channel. After cooling the leading edge and picking up heat, a portion of the warm air may be bled out to the inner shroud cavity for the inter-stage cavity purge with the rest of the warm air making a 180-degree turn at the root and flowing radially outwardly in the mid channel to an upper span.
