Abstract

A blade for a turbine blade includes a suction-side side wall and a pressure-side side wall that enclose a cavity at least partially in a manner which extends along a profile centre line from a common front edge to a common rear edge and in a span width direction from a root-side end to a tip-side end. A first perforated impingement cooling wall which is provided with openings for the impingement cooling of the front edge and at least one further perforated impingement cooling wall for the impingement cooling of a section of the suction-side and/or pressure-side side wall are provided in the interior along the span width. The impingement cooling openings of the first impingement cooling wall and the at least one second impingement cooling wall are connected in series in terms of flow.

Claims (29)

1. A blade for a turbine blade, comprising:

a suction-side side wall and a pressure-side side wall which enclose a cavity at least partially in a manner which extends along a profile center line from a common leading edge to a common trailing edge and in a span width direction from a root-side end to a tip-side end,

a first impingement cooling wall which is provided with impingement cooling openings for impingement cooling of the leading edge and at least one further impingement cooling wall which is also provided with impingement cooling openings for impingement cooling of a section of the suction-side side wall and/or the pressure-side side wall being provided along the span width in an interior,

wherein the impingement cooling openings of the first impingement cooling wall and the impingement cooling openings of the at least one further impingement cooling wall are connected in series in terms of flow,

a rib that extends from the suction-side side wall to the pressure-side side wall, wherein the rib connects to at least one end of the first impingement cooling wall at a connection that is close to at least one of the suction-side side wall and the pressure-side side wall, and

an outlet opening arranged in the rib between the connection and the at least one of the suction-side side wall and the pressure-side side wall.

2. The blade as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first impingement cooling space between the first impingement cooling wall and an inner side of the leading edge and inner sides of the suction-side side wall and the pressure-side side wall that adjoin the leading edge.

3. The blade as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:

a first collection space downstream of the first impingement cooling space, wherein the first collection space adjoins directly upstream of the at least one further impingement cooling wall.

4. The blade as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:

a supply duct between the first collection space and the first impingement cooling space.

5. The blade as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:

a projection that extends from the at least one of the suction-side side wall and the pressure-side side wall,

wherein the first collection space is delimited partially by the projection which is impingement cooled by the outlet opening.

6. The blade as claimed in one of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one further impingement cooling wall is arranged on the at least one of the suction-side side wall and the pressure-side side wall of the blade, or on both the suction-side side wall and the pressure-side side wall.

7. The blade as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:

two further impingement cooling spaces, wherein one of the two further impingement cooling space is arranged between the at least one further impingement cooling wall and an inner side of the suction-side side wall and the other one of the two further impingement cooling spaces is arranged between the at least one further impingement cooling wall and an inner side of the pressure-side side wall, and wherein a collection space is provided upstream of the at least one further impingement cooling wall.

8. The blade as claimed in claim 7 ,

wherein the collection space is divided by a dividing rib into two separate collection spaces.

9. The blade as claimed in claim 7 ,

wherein the collection space is divided by two dividing ribs into two separate collection spaces, and wherein a further cavity is provided between the two separate collection spaces which are arranged on both sides of the profile center line.

10. The blade as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the blade is monolithic.

11. The blade as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the blade is produced by means of an additive method.

12. A turbine blade comprising:

a blade as claimed in claim 1 .
