Internal blade structures to create a cleaner grade of coolant
Turbine blades with cooling systems better protected against particle build up.
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.
Applications: Cooling of turbine blades
| 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 |
