Airfoil Shape For A Turbine Bucket

View page
US Patent:
6881038, Apr 19, 2005
Filed:
Oct 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/681144
Inventors:
Thomas Bradley Beddard - Simpsonville SC, US
David Samuel Pesetsky - Greenville SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01D005/14
US Classification:
416243, 415223 A, 415DIG 2, 415DIG 5
Abstract:
Second 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. 05 to 0. 95 convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the airfoil in inches. 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 and Y 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 envelop of 0. 160 inches in directions normal to the surface of the airfoil.

Perimeter-Cooled Turbine Bucket Airfoil Cooling Hole Location, Style And Configuration

View page
US Patent:
6923623, Aug 2, 2005
Filed:
Aug 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/635435
Inventors:
Peter Gaines Cleveland - Greenville SC, US
Thomas Bradley Beddard - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01D005/18
US Classification:
416 97R, 416 92, 416DIG 2
Abstract:
A turbine stage one bucket has an airfoil having a plurality of cooling holes passing through the airfoil from 0% span to 100% span whereby cooling air exits the airfoil tip into the hot gas path. X and Y coordinate values are given in Table I, locating the holes relative to the airfoil profile at airfoil profile sections of 5%, 50% and 90% span, Table I also giving the hole diameters. In this manner, cooling hole optimization for this turbine bucket airfoil is achieved. The cooling holes are also located in relation to the profile of the bucket airfoil given by the X, Y and Z coordinate values of Table II, the two coordinate systems having the same origin.

US Patent:
6997679, Feb 14, 2006
Filed:
Dec 12, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/707421
Inventors:
Thomas B. Beddard - Simpsonville SC, US
Carlos A. Collado - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01D 5/18
US Classification:
416 92, 416 97 R, 415115, 415178
Abstract:
An airfoil. The airfoil may include a first number of cooling holes and a second number of cooling holes positioned within the airfoil. The first number of cooling holes and the second number of cooling holes each may include a turbulated section and a non-turbulated section.

Perimeter-Cooled Stage 1 Bucket Core Stabilizing Device And Related Method

View page
US Patent:
7467655, Dec 23, 2008
Filed:
Nov 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/605457
Inventors:
Thomas B. Beddard - Simpsonville SC, US
Kenneth L. Parks - Clarksville TN, US
Assignee:
General Electric Co. - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
B22C 9/10
US Classification:
164369, 164370
Abstract:
A core for use in casting a gas turbine bucket includes a solid, curved upper body portion and a pair of co-planar legs extending downwardly from the solid, curved upper body portions. The pair of legs are separated by an elongated open slot extending from a lower end of the core upwardly more than half a height dimension of the core, into the upper body portion. A pair of axially aligned pegs project in axially opposite directions from opposite sides of the solid, curved upper body portion, perpendicular to and above the elongated slot but spaced from an upper edge of the solid, curved upper body portion. The pair of pegs lie substantially in a plane containing the co-planar legs, and in a radial direction, the pegs are closer to the elongated slot than to the upper edge.

Method And System For Rotation Tracking Of A Turbomachine Component

View page
US Patent:
8532956, Sep 10, 2013
Filed:
Oct 27, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/258717
Inventors:
Anandraj Sengupta - Karnataka, IN
Paul Stephen DiMascio - Greer SC, US
Thomas Bradley Beddard - Marietta GA, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
G01C 9/02
G01C 9/04
G01C 9/06
US Classification:
702151, 702115, 702141, 702150
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for tracking rotation of a turbomachine component including locating at least one tilt sensor at the turbomachine component and rotating the turbomachine component about a central axis to observe a portion of interest on the turbomachine component. The at least one tilt sensor detects an angle of rotation of the turbomachine component and transmits the angle of rotation from the at least one tilt sensor to a device which converts the angle of rotation to an indicia of the portion of interest. Further disclosed is a rotor including at least one tilt sensor and a system for tracking rotation of a turbomachine component including at least one tilt sensor and a device.
