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
