Internal Core Profile For A Turbine Bucket
view source
US Patent:

6761535, Jul 13, 2004
Filed:

Apr 28, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/423883
Inventors:

Edward Lee McGrath - Easley SC
Benjamin Arnette Lagrange - Simpsonville SC
Anthony Aaron Chiurato - Simpsonville SC
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

F01D 508
US Classification:

416 97R, 416223 A, 416243
Abstract:

Second stage turbine buckets have internal core profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth Table I wherein X and Y values are in inches and the Z values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the bucket in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define internal core profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form a complete internal core profile. The X, Y and Z distances may be scalable as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled up or scaled down internal core profile. The nominal internal core profile given by the X, Y and Z distances lies within an envelope of Â0. 039 inches in directions normal to any internal core surface location.

Vibration Damper Assembly For The Buckets Of A Turbine

US Patent:

6851932, Feb 8, 2005
Filed:

May 13, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/436202
Inventors:

Benjamin Arnette Lagrange - Simpsonville SC, US
Kevin Lee Worley - Easley SC, US
Stephen Paul Wassynger - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

F01D005/26
US Classification:

416190, 416219 R, 416500
Abstract:

A damper pin is disposed between adjacent buckets of a turbine rotor. A first bucket has circumferentially extending supports defining a pair of axially spaced surfaces on which a damper pin rests in a cold condition of the turbine. The adjacent bucket is undercut adjacent its platform to provide an angled surface overlying a generally correspondingly angled surface of the damper pin. The damper pin fits slightly loose within the recess and, upon turbine rotation at speed, the angled surfaces of the damper pin and recess cooperate to bias the damper pin against the first bucket whereby the damper pin engages both buckets and dissipates vibratory action.

US Patent:

6966756, Nov 22, 2005
Filed:

Jan 9, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/753341
Inventors:

Edward Lee McGrath - Easley SC, US
Benjamin Arnette Lagrange - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

F01D005/18
US Classification:

416 97R, 416 96 R
Abstract:

A turbine bucket comprising an airfoil portion, a shank portion and a dovetail mounting portion; an internal cooling circuit including inlet passages in the shank portion and the dovetail mounting portion connected to a cooling circuit in the airfoil portion, the inlet passages including a primary inlet passage on one side of a radial centerline of the bucket, and a secondary inlet cavity on an opposite side of the radial centerline; and a purge passage connecting the secondary inlet passage to the primary inlet passage.

Method And Apparatus For Cooling Gas Turbine Rotor Blades

US Patent:

7165940, Jan 23, 2007
Filed:

Jun 10, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/865471
Inventors:

Edward Lee McGrath - Easley SC, US
Benjamin A. Lagrange - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

F01D 5/18
US Classification:

416 1, 416 97 R
Abstract:

An airfoil for a gas turbine includes a leading edge, a trailing edge a tip plate, a first sidewall extending in radial span between an airfoil root and the tip plate, and a second sidewall connected to the first sidewall at the leading edge and the trailing edges, to define a cooling cavity therein. The sidewall extends in radial span between the airfoil root and the tip plate. The airfoil also includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart trailing edge cooling slots arranged in a column extending through the first sidewall. The slots are in flow communication with the cooling cavity and arranged in a non-uniform distribution along the trailing edge so that the number of slots in at least one portion of the trailing edge is greater than a different portion of the trailing edge.

US Patent:

7731483, Jun 8, 2010
Filed:

Aug 1, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/882373
Inventors:

Jon Robert DeLong - Simpsonville SC, US
Craig Allen Bielek - Simpsonville SC, US
Tommy Dee Hayes - Piedmont SC, US
Benjamin Arnette Lagrange - Greer SC, US
Scott F. Johnson - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

F01D 5/14
US Classification:

416223A, 416243, 416DIG 2
Abstract:

Third stage turbine buckets have airfoil profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z′ set forth Table I wherein X and Y values are in inches and the Z′ values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z′ values by the height of the airfoil in inches and adding the radius of the airfoil base. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form a complete airfoil shape. The X, Y and Z distances may be scalable as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled up or scaled down airfoil section for the bucket. The nominal airfoil given by the X, Y and Z distances lies within an envelope of +/−0. 060 inches in directions normal to the surface of the airfoil.
