TURBINE COMPONENT HAVING PLATFORM COOLING CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011398 titled 'TURBINE COMPONENT HAVING PLATFORM COOLING CIRCUIT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a turbine component that consists of an airfoil attached to a platform. The platform has a cold side, a hot side, a pressure side mate face, a suction side mate face, an upstream side face, and a downstream side face. The component includes a platform pressure side cooling circuit positioned at the pressure side of the airfoil and a platform suction side cooling circuit positioned at the suction side of the airfoil. These cooling circuits have multiple cooling holes defined at the pressure side mate face and the downstream side face, respectively.
- The turbine component includes an airfoil attached to a platform with cooling circuits on the pressure side and suction side.
- The platform pressure side cooling circuit has cooling holes defined at the pressure side mate face.
- The platform suction side cooling circuit has cooling holes defined at the downstream side face.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Gas turbines
- Steam turbines
- Jet engines
Problems solved by this technology:
- Overheating of turbine components
- Improved cooling efficiency
- Increased component lifespan
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced turbine performance
