Appl. No.:

13/347284

Inventors:

David Wayne Weber - Simpsonville SC, US
Christopher Lee Golden - Greer SC, US

Assignee:

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

F01D 25/00
F01D 25/12

US Classification:

415 1, 4151821

Abstract:

According to one aspect of the invention, a turbine assembly includes a first component, a second component circumferentially adjacent to the first component, wherein the first and second components each have a surface proximate a hot gas path and a first side surface of the first component to abut a second side surface of the second component. The assembly also includes a first slot formed longitudinally in the first side surface, a second slot formed longitudinally in the second side surface, wherein the first and second slots are configured to receive a sealing member, and a first groove formed in a hot side surface of the first slot, the first groove extending axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge of the first component.

International Classification:

F01D 9/04

US Classification:

4152093

Abstract:

According to one aspect, a turbine assembly includes a second component circumferentially adjacent to a first component, wherein the first and second components each have a surface proximate a hot gas path and a first side surface of the first component to be joined to a second side surface of the second component. The assembly also includes a first slot formed longitudinally in the first component which extends from a first slot inner wall to the first side surface and a second slot formed longitudinally in the second component which extends from a second slot inner wall to the second side surface. The assembly also includes a first groove formed in a hot side surface of the first slot, the first groove extending from the first slot inner wall to the first side surface, wherein the first groove comprises a tapered cross-sectional geometry.

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

F02C 7/28
F16J 15/02

US Classification:

4152141, 277312

Abstract:

A gas turbine, a gas turbine shroud, and a method for sealing a gas turbine shroud with a non-metallic seal are provided. The gas turbine shroud includes an inner shroud and an outer shroud. A non-metallic seal is located between the inner shroud and the outer shroud while a shroud retainer clip applies a compression force upon the inner shroud and the outer shroud. The compression force compresses the non-metallic seal to fill a gap space between the inner shroud and the outer shroud to control fluid flow between a flow path and a non-flow path.

Inventors:

- Schenectady NY, US
Christopher Lee Golden - Greer SC, US
Christopher Donald Porter - Greenville SC, US

International Classification:

F01D 9/04

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the invention include turbine nozzles and systems employing such nozzles. Various particular embodiments include a turbine nozzle having: an airfoil having: a suction side; a pressure side opposing the suction side; a leading edge spanning between the pressure side and the suction side; and a trailing edge opposing the leading edge and spanning between the pressure side and the suction side; and at least one endwall connected with the airfoil along the suction side, pressure side, trailing edge and the leading edge, the at least one endwall including a non-axisymmetric contour proximate a junction between the endwall and the leading edge of the airfoil.

Appl. No.:

14/801197

Inventors:

Christopher Lee Golden - Greer SC, US

International Classification:

F01D 9/04
F01D 25/12

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cooling structure for a stationary blade. The cooling structure can include: an airfoil having a cooling circuit therein; an endwall coupled to a radial end of the airfoil; a chamber positioned within the endwall for receiving a cooling fluid from the cooling circuit, wherein the cooling fluid absorbs heat from the endwall, and a temperature of the cooling fluid in an upstream region is lower than a temperature of the cooling fluid in a downstream region; a first passage within the endwall fluidly connecting the upstream region of the chamber to a wheel space positioned between the endwall and the turbine wheel; and a second passage within the endwall fluidly connecting the downstream region of the chamber to the wheel space.
