Abstract

Provided is a film cooling structure capable of suppressing a cooling medium film from being separated from a wall surface, to increase a film efficiency on the wall surface and thereby-cool the wall surface effectively. One or more pairs of injection holes are formed on a wall surface facing a passage of high-temperature gas to inject a cooling medium to the passage. A single supply passage is formed inside the wall to supply the cooling medium to the injection holes. A separating section is provided between the injection holes in a location forward relative to rear ends of the injection holes to separate the cooling medium into components flowing to the injection holes. An injection direction of the cooling medium is inclined relative to a gas flow direction so that the cooling medium forms swirl flows that push the cooling medium against the wall surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A double-jet type film cooling structure comprising:
one or more pairs of injection holes which are provided on a wall surface facing a high-temperature gas passage and inject a cooling medium to the passage;
a single supply passage provided inside a wall to supply the cooling medium to each pair of injection holes; and
a separating section provided between the injection holes forming each pair in a location forward relative to rear ends of the injection holes to separate the cooling medium supplied from the supply passage into components flowing to the injection holes forming each pair, respectively;
wherein an injection direction of the cooling medium is set to be inclined with respect to a flow direction of a high-temperature gas so that the components of the cooling medium injected from the injection holes forming each pair form swirl flows oriented in directions to push the components of the cooling medium against the wall surface;
the separating section is positioned with an inclination angle that is formed relative to a virtual plane that is orthogonal to a direction in which the cooling medium travels in the supply passage and on a rearward side of the virtual plane relative to the direction in which the cooling medium travels, such that a surface of the separating section approaches a center axis of the supply passage in the direction in which the cooling medium travels, and is formed as a flat surface against which a part of the cooling medium collides and which has no bent portion, the separating section extending from a passage of the cooling medium formed inside of the wall to the wall surface; and
the injection holes forming each pair are circular holes opened on the wall surface from an oblique direction and are opened in a substantially oval shape on the wall surface.

2. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inclination angle is in a range of 30 to 85 degrees.

3. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein horizontal injection angles formed between injection directions of the components of the cooling medium injected from the injection holes forming each pair, the injection directions being along the wall surface, and the flow direction of the high-temperature gas, are set to angles of θ 1 which are oriented in opposite directions with respect to the flow direction of the high-temperature gas.

4. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 3 ,
wherein each of the horizontal injection angles θ 1 is in a range of 5 to 85 degrees.

5. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a vertical injection angle θ 2 which is formed between the wall surface and the injection direction of the component of the cooling medium injected from each of the injection holes to the high-temperature gas passage is in a range of 5 to 85 degrees.

6. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the injection holes forming each pair in an opening facing the wall surface, except for the separating section, have substantially oval shapes having long axes along the injection directions, respectively; and
a distance between centers of the oval shapes is set to 0 to 2 D when a hole diameter of the supply passage is D.

7. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a length L 1 of the supply passage is set to 0 to 10 D when a hole diameter of the supply passage is D.

8. The double-jet type film cooling structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a distance L 2 from an exit of the supply passage to the opening of the pair of injection holes, the opening facing the wall surface, is set to 0.5 D to 6 D when a hole diameter of the supply passage is D.
