Internal blade structures to create a cleaner grade of coolant

Image from Licence Details: Internal blade structures to create a cleaner grade of coolant

Applications: Cooling of turbine blades

Effective cooling requires a high heat transfer that may be enabled by fine geometry that is at risk of blockage by particles. Here, the trailing edge region is protected and may have fine cooling channels deployed there.

Features Benefits
  • Particle separator in turbine blades
  • Separates suspended particles from the coolant flow that can accumulate inside the blade cavity
  • The separator creates a scavenge stream comprising the separated particles
  • Leaves a main stream substantially free from separated particles
