Abstract:
An engine component assembly includes at least one cavity that is in communication with a source of cooling air. An insert disposed within the cavity includes a plurality of scoops protruding into a flow of cooling air for directing cooling air through the insert and against an inner surface of the cavity.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine includes a wall and a cooling hole extending through the wall. The wall has a first surface and a second surface. The cooling hole includes a metering section extending downstream from an inlet in the first surface of the wall and a diffusion section extending from the metering section to an outlet in the second surface of the wall. The diffusion section includes a first plurality of lobes diverging longitudinally and laterally from the metering section on a first side of a centerline axis of the cooling hole and a second plurality of lobes diverging longitudinally and laterally from the metering section on a second side of the centerline axis.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes first and second wall surfaces, an inlet located at the first wall surface, an outlet located at the second wall surface and a diffusing section positioned between the inlet and the outlet. The diffusing section includes a first lobe, a second lobe adjacent the first lobe and a third lobe adjacent the second lobe. The first lobe and the second lobe meet at a first ridge and the second lobe and the third lobe meet at a second ridge.
Abstract:
An array of components in a gas turbine engine includes first and second structures respectively including first and second surfaces that are arranged adjacent to one another to provide a gap. The first and second surfaces respectively have first and second rounded edges at the gap that are arranged in staggered relationship relative to one another.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine including a component having a leading edge, a pressure side and a suction side opposite the pressure side. The component includes a first group of showerhead holes in the leading edge and a second group of showerhead holes in one of the pressure side and the suction side. The component further includes a first core passageway and a second core passageway separate from the first core passageway. The first core passageway and the second core passageway are in communication with a respective one of the first group of showerhead holes and the second group of showerhead holes.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component subjected to a flow of high temperature gas includes a wall having first and second wall surfaces and a cooling hole extending through the wall. The cooling hole includes an inlet located at the first wall surface, an outlet located at the second wall surface, a metering section extending downstream from the inlet and a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. The diffusing section includes a first lobe, a second lobe and a transition region. The first lobe diverges longitudinally and laterally from the metering section and has a first shape. The second lobe is generally opposite the first lobe and diverges longitudinally and laterally from the metering section and has a second shape different from the first shape. The transition region is positioned between the first and second lobes and includes a downstream end adjacent the outlet.

A gas turbine engine includes a wall having first and second wall surfaces and a cooling hole extending through the wall. The cooling hole includes an inlet located at the first wall surface, an outlet located at the second wall surface, a metering section extending downstream from the inlet and a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. The diffusing section includes a first lobe diverging longitudinally and laterally from the metering section, a second lobe diverging longitudinally and laterally from the metering section, an upstream end located at the outlet, a trailing edge located at the outlet opposite the upstream end and generally opposite first and second sidewalls. Each sidewall has an edge extending along the outlet between the upstream end and the trailing edge. Each edge diverges laterally from the upstream end and converges laterally before reaching the trailing edge.
