Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes spaced apart walls that extend in a load direction and provide a cooling passage. The cooling passage provides a tortuous passage having a generally straight portion that extends in the load direction and a bend transverse to the load direction. Elongated turbulators protrude from at least one of the walls and extend substantially in the load direction. The elongated turbulators are substantially within the generally straight portion.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component comprises a body extending between two ends and having at least two cooling passages. The body has a first wall and second wall. At least two cooling passages include a first passage that is closer to the first wall than is a second of the passages at upstream locations along a flow path. The second passage has upstream locations that are closer to the second wall than are upstream portions of the first passage. The first and second passages cross along a length of the flow path such that downstream portions of the second passage are closer to the first wall than are downstream portions of the first passage, and downstream portions of the first passage are closer to the second wall than are downstream portions of the second passage.

Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes spaced apart walls that provide a cooling passage that extends in a first direction. A pedestal is arranged in the cooling passage and interconnects the walls in a thickness direction that is transverse to the first direction. The pedestal is asymmetrical in the thickness direction.
