Abstract

A turbomachine, with a flow-conducting assembly, which on a first side serves for the flow-conduction of a first medium, which has a first temperature, and which on a second side is coolable with a second medium, which has a second temperature, that is lower than the first temperature, and with an impingement grille including openings which extend spaced from the flow-conducting assembly, wherein via the openings of the impingement grille the second medium is directable onto the second side of the flow-conducting assembly. In the region of at least some of the openings of the impingement grille, flow-conducting elements for the second medium are formed, which emanating from the impingement grille extend in the direction of the second side of the flow-conducting assembly to be cooled.

Claims (29)

1. A turbomachine, comprising

a flow-conducting assembly on a first side serving for the flow-conduction of a first medium having a first temperature;

a second side coolable with a second medium having a second temperature lower than the first temperature;

an impingement grille comprising openings extending spaced from the flow-conducting assembly, wherein the openings of the impingement grille are constructed and disposed to direct the second medium onto the second side of the flow-conducting assembly; and

flow-conducting elements for the second medium formed in the region of at least some of the openings, the flow-conducting elements emanating from the impingement grille extending in the direction of the second side of the flow-conducting assembly to be cooled,

wherein an upstream portion of a respective flow-conducting element differs from a downstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element,

wherein the upstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element is separated from the downstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element by a diameter of the respective flow-conducting element.

2. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the flow-conducting elements for the second medium terminate spaced from the second side of the flow-conducting assembly.

3. The turbomachine according to claim 2 , wherein between the second side of the flow-conducting assembly and the impingement grille a gap having a width is formed, the width defined by a distance between the second side of the flow-conducting assembly and the impingement grille; and wherein

the flow-conducting elements for the second medium emanating from the impingement grille extend into the gap by as far as maximally 80% of the width of the gap.

4. The turbomachine according to claim 3 , wherein the flow-conducting elements for the second medium emanating from the impingement grille extend into the gap by as far as maximally 70% of the width of the gap.

5. The turbomachine according to claim 3 , wherein the flow-conducting elements for the second medium emanating from the impingement grille extend into the gap by as far as at least 40% of the width of the gap.

6. The turbomachine according to claim 5 , wherein the flow-conducting elements for the second medium emanating from the impingement grille extend into the gap by as far as at least 50% of the width of the gap.

7. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein in the region of each opening a flow-conducting element for the second medium is formed.

8. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the respective flow-conducting element for the second medium is embodied circular or semi-circular or part circle-like or elliptical or half-elliptical or part elliptical or spar-like in the cross section.

9. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the respective flow-conducting element for the second medium covers the second medium in the region of the respective flow-conducting element before a discharge flow of the second medium out of the gap.

10. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the respective flow-conducting element is formed as a nozzle at least in sections.

11. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the respective flow-conducting element extends perpendicularly to the impingement grille.

12. A turbomachine, comprising:

a flow-conducting assembly on a first side serving for the flow-conduction of a first medium having a first temperature;

a second side coolable with a second medium having a second temperature lower than the first temperature;

an impingement grille comprising openings extending spaced from the flow-conducting assembly, wherein the openings of the impingement grille are constructed and disposed to direct the second medium onto the second side of the flow-conducting assembly; and

flow-conducting elements for the second medium formed in the region of at least some of the openings, the flow-conducting elements emanating from the impingement grille extending in the direction of the second side of the flow-conducting assembly to be cooled,

wherein at least one respective flow-conducting element is inclined towards the impingement grille relative to a perpendicular.

13. The turbomachine according to claim 4 , wherein the flow-conducting elements for the second medium emanating from the impingement grille extend into the gap by as far as at least 40% of the width of the gap.

14. The turbomachine according to claim 4 , wherein the flow-conducting elements for the second medium emanating from the impingement grille extend into the gap by as far as at least 50% of the width of the gap.

15. The turbomachine according to claim 1 , wherein the upstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element extends further than the downstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element.

16. The turbomachine according to claim 15 , wherein the upstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element is a semicircle.

17. The turbomachine according to claim 15 , wherein an upstream edge of the upstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element extends further than a downstream edge of the upstream portion of the respective flow-conducting element.
