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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354774 titled 'TURBINE ENGINE WITH A BLADE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a turbine engine with internal cooling conduits in the compressor and turbine sections. These conduits have bends or terminal ends and are connected to cooling holes on the exterior of the blades.

  • The turbine engine has an engine core with a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section.
  • Blades in the compressor or turbine sections have internal cooling conduits.
  • The cooling conduits have bends or terminal ends.
  • Cooling holes are provided in the blades, with each hole connected to the cooling conduit.
  • The cooling holes allow cooling fluid to flow from the internal conduit to the exterior of the blade.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various types of turbine engines, including aircraft engines, power generation turbines, and industrial gas turbines.

Problems Solved

  • Turbine engines generate high temperatures, which can cause damage to the blades.
  • Cooling the blades is crucial to prevent overheating and maintain their structural integrity.
  • The internal cooling conduits and cooling holes provide an efficient cooling mechanism for the blades.

Benefits

  • Improved cooling system for turbine blades, enhancing their durability and performance.
  • Prevents overheating and potential damage to the blades, increasing their lifespan.
  • Enables the turbine engine to operate at higher temperatures, improving overall efficiency and power output.


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. One or more blades in the compressor or turbine sections has an internal cooling conduit with at least one of a bend or a terminal end. A plurality of cooling holes are provided in the blade, with each hole having an inlet fluidly coupled to the cooling conduit and an outlet opening onto an exterior of the blade.
