Feather seal mateface cooling pockets
A component for a gas turbine engine includes a mateface with a purge flow interface, the mateface comprises a pocket located in communication with a feather seal slot in a mateface. A vane for a gas turbine engine includes a platform that extends from the airfoil, the platform comprising a mateface with a feather seal slot and a pocket in communication with the feather seal slot, wherein the pocket is of a cross-sectional shape larger than the feather seal slot.
1. A component for a gas turbine engine, comprising:
a purge flow interface that comprises a pocket located in communication with a feather seal slot in a mateface, the pocket of a cross sectional shape larger than that of the feather seal slot; wherein the pocket is contoured with respect to a gas path surface; wherein the pocket comprises a multiple of slots.
2. The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein a cross sectional shape is non-rectilinear.
3. The component as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a multiple of passages in communication with the pocket, an entry to each of the multiple of passages receive a portion of a cooling airflow that is also communicated into an airfoil.
4. The component as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a multiple of heat transfer features within the pocket.
5. The component as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a multiple of pedestals within the pocket to at least partially support a feather seal.
6. The component as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a feather seal gap standoff feature within the pocket to interface with an edge of a feather seal.
7. A vane for a gas turbine engine, comprising:
an airfoil; and
a platform that extends from the airfoil, the platform comprising a mateface with a feather seal slot and a pocket in communication with the feather seal slot, wherein the pocket is larger than the feather seal slot; wherein the pocket is contoured with respect to a gas path surface of the platform; wherein the pocket comprises a multiple of slots.
8. The vane as recited in claim 7 , wherein a cross sectional shape is non-rectilinear.
9. The vane as recited in claim 7 , further comprising a multiple of passages in communication with the pocket.
10. The vane as recited in claim 9 , wherein the multiple of passages in communication with the pocket receive a portion of a cooling airflow that is also communicated into the airfoil.
11. The vane as recited in claim 10 , further comprising a multiple of heat transfer features within the pocket.
12. The vane as recited in claim 10 , further comprising a multiple of pedestals to at least partially support the feather seal within the pocket.
13. The vane as recited in claim 7 , further comprising a feather seal gap standoff feature located to interface with an edge of the feather seal.
