Turbine blade with an impingement cooling insert
View Patent ↗A turbine blade, particularly a guide blade for a gas turbine, is provided. The turbine blade includes a blade leg, a platform area and a hollow blade for receiving a metal plate-type impact cooling insert which consists of at least two sections which overlap in an overlap area. The two sections have a wave-shaped cross-section in the overlap area in order to seal said overlap area.

a plurality of cooling impingement holes arranged in the impingement cooling insert,
wherein a cooling medium flows from the cooling medium passage into the interspace portion,
wherein the cooling insert comprises a plurality of cooling insert sections arranged one upon the other overlapping in an overlap area having a wave-like cross section and extending parallel to the rectilinear gap,
wherein for sealing the overlap area the cooling insert sections are displaced in such a way that in the overlap area a contact surface is formed, the contact surface extends rectilinearly.
2. The turbine blade as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frequency or the amplitude of the wave-like cross section of a first cooling insert section is different from the frequency or amplitude of the wave-like cross section of a second cooling insert section.

7. A gas turbine, comprising:
an inlet that admits a working fluid;
a compressor section connected to the inlet that compresses the working fluid;
a combustion section that receives the compressed working fluid and combusts a fuel to produce a hot working fluid; and
a turbine section that expands the hot working fluid having a of hollow turbine blade, comprising:
a blade root,
a platform section arranged on the blade root,
a hollow blade airfoil arranged on the platform section having an interior wall surface that defines an interior portion of the hollow blade airfoil, and
a sheet metal-form impingement cooling insert arranged in the hollow blade airfoil that separates the interior cavity to form an interspace portion and a cooling medium passage, the interspace portion defined as a rectilinearly extending gap opening between the interior wall surface and the cooling insert where a cooling medium flows from the cooling medium passage into the interspace portion, the cooling insert comprises a plurality of cooling insert sections arranged one upon the other overlapping in an overlap area having a wave-like cross section and extending parallel to the rectilinear gap,
wherein for sealing the overlap area the cooling insert sections are displaced in such a way that in the overlap area a contact surface is formed, the contact surface extends rectilinearly.
