TURBINE ENGINE WITH A BLADE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17836049 titled 'TURBINE ENGINE WITH A BLADE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a turbine engine with a temperature sensor and a set of blades that have a cooling system.

  • The turbine engine has a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section in sequential order.
  • A temperature sensor is installed within the engine to measure the gas temperature.
  • The turbine section contains a set of blades, each with an outer wall, an interior, and a cooling conduit.
  • The cooling conduit is connected to a plurality of film holes in the blade, allowing for cooling of the blade.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various types of turbine engines, such as aircraft engines, power generation turbines, and industrial turbines.
  • It can improve the efficiency and performance of turbine engines by preventing overheating and reducing wear and tear on the blades.

Problems Solved

  • The temperature sensor helps monitor the gas temperature within the engine core, allowing for better control and optimization of the engine's performance.
  • The cooling system in the blades helps dissipate heat and prevent damage caused by high temperatures, increasing the lifespan of the blades.

Benefits

  • Improved engine efficiency and performance.
  • Enhanced safety and reliability by preventing overheating and blade damage.
  • Extended lifespan of turbine blades, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.


Original Abstract Submitted

A turbine engine includes an engine core extending along an engine centerline and includes a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement. A temperature sensor is provided within the engine and configured to detect a gas temperature within the engine core. A set of blades is circumferentially arranged in the turbine section. A blade in the set of blades includes an outer wall bounding an interior, a cooling conduit within the interior, and a plurality of film holes fluidly coupled to the cooling conduit.
