Turbine Blade With Chamfered Squealer Tip And Convective Cooling Holes

US Patent:
2012028, Nov 8, 2012
Filed:
May 3, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/099521
Inventors:
Shantanu P. Mhetras - Orlando FL, US
Glenn E. Brown - West Palm Beach FL, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/18
US Classification:
416 97 R
Abstract:
A squealer tip formed from a pressure side rib and a suction side rib extending radially outward from a tip of the turbine blade is disclosed. The pressure and suction side ribs may be positioned along the pressure side and the suction side of the turbine blade, respectively. The pressure and suction side ribs may include chamfered leading edges with film cooling holes having exhaust outlets positioned therein. The film cooling holes may be configured to be diffusion cooling holes with one or more tapered sections for reducing the velocity of cooling fluids and increasing the size of the convective surfaces.

Turbine Blade Incorporating Trailing Edge Cooling Design

US Patent:
2013014, Jun 6, 2013
Filed:
Dec 6, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/311630
Inventors:
Glenn E. Brown - West Palm Beach FL, US
Benjamin E. Heneveld - Newmarket NH, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/18
US Classification:
416 97 R
Abstract:
A turbine blade () including an airfoil () having multiple interior wall portions () each separating at least one chamber from another one of multiple chambers (). In one embodiment a first wall portion (-) between first and second chambers () includes first and second pluralities of flow paths (P, S) extending through the first wall portion. The first wall portion includes a first region Rhaving a first thickness, t, measurable as a distance between the chambers. One of the paths extends a first path distance, d, as measured from an associated path opening () in the first chamber (), through the first region and to an exit opening () in the second chamber () which path distance is greater than the first thickness.

Turbine Blade Tip With Vortex Generators

US Patent:
2012007, Mar 29, 2012
Filed:
Sep 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/892515
Inventors:
Alexander R. Beeck - Orlando FL, US
Glenn E. Brown - West Palm Beach FL, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/08
US Classification:
416 95
Abstract:
A turbine blade for a turbine engine having a tip with one or more vortex generators for reducing tip leakage during operation of the turbine engine. The vortex generators may extend radially outward from the radially outer surface of the tip wall. The vortex generator may be positioned between a rib extending radially outward from the radially outer surface of the tip wall and an intersection between the outer surface of the tip wall and an outer surface on the pressure side. The vortex generators may include a base and three sides forming a triangular point with a first side having a larger surface are than second and third sides. One or more film cooling holes may be formed in the tip wall to provide cooling air to the tip. In one embodiment, film cooling holes may be positioned in one or more vortex generators.
