Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Wand eines mittels Kühlluft zu kühlenden Bauteils gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Wand, insbesondere einer Gasturbinenbrennkammerwand.The invention relates to a wall of a cooling air to be cooled component according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing a wall, in particular a gas turbine combustor wall.

Im Einzelnen bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Wand eines Bauteils, welches zur Kühlung mittels Kühlluft mit zumindest einem Kühlluftkanal versehen ist. Der Kühlluftkanal ist zumindest in seinem Ausströmbereich in einem Winkel zur Wand geneigt angeordnet. Die Wand wird von einer Seite aus mit Kühlluft beaufschlagt, durch den Kühlluftkanal strömt die Kühlluft zur anderen Seite der Wand. Dabei kühlt die Kühlluft beim Durchströmen des Kühlluftkanals die Wand und legt sich anschließend als Kühlluftfilm auf die thermisch belastete Seite der Wand, um diese abzuschirmen.In detail, the invention relates to a wall of a component, which is provided for cooling by means of cooling air with at least one cooling air duct. The cooling air channel is arranged at least in its outflow region inclined at an angle to the wall. The wall is acted upon by cooling air from one side, through the cooling air duct, the cooling air flows to the other side of the wall. In this case, the cooling air cools the wall as it flows through the cooling air channel and then lays as a cooling air film on the thermally loaded side of the wall to shield it.

Im Einzelnen bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Gasturbinenbrennkammerwand und dabei insbesondere auf eine innere Brennkammerwand, welche mit Effusionslöchern versehen ist, um Kühlluft durchzuleiten und die Oberfläche der heißen Seite der inneren Brennkammerwand zu kühlen.In particular, the invention relates to a gas turbine combustor wall, and more particularly to an inner combustor wall provided with effusion holes for passing cooling air and cooling the hot side surface of the inner combustor wall.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, bei der Kühlung von Wandelementen oder Wänden, die Kühlluftkanäle in einem Winkel anzuordnen, um die wirksame Lauflänge des Kühlluftkanals zu erhöhen. Dieser Ausgestaltung sind jedoch Grenzen gesetzt, da die winkelmäßige Anordnung der Kühlluftkanäle nur bis zu einem Winkel möglich ist, bei dem noch eine ausreichende Durchströmung stattfindet. Als Beispiel wird hierzu auf die US 5,000,005 A verwiesen. Diese Druckschrift zeigt eine Gasturbinenbrennkammer mit Effusionslöchern, welche im Ausströmbereich verbreitert sind und einen Diffusor bilden. Übliche Neigungswinkel von Kühlluftkanälen liegen dabei in einem Winkelbereich zwischen 15° und 45°, gemessen zwischen der Mittelachse des Kühlluftkanals und der Oberfläche der Wand.From the prior art it is known, when cooling wall elements or walls, to arrange the cooling air ducts at an angle in order to increase the effective running length of the cooling air duct. This embodiment, however, limits, since the angular arrangement of the cooling air ducts is possible only up to an angle at which still takes place a sufficient flow. As an example, this is on the US 5,000,005 A directed. This document shows a gas turbine combustor with effusion holes, which are widened in the discharge and form a diffuser. Usual inclination angle of cooling air ducts lie in an angular range between 15 ° and 45 °, measured between the central axis of the cooling air duct and the surface of the wall.

Um die Gesamtlänge des Kühlluftkanals zu verlängern, wurde vorgeschlagen, die Wanddicke insgesamt zu erhöhen. Dies führt jedoch zu einer erheblichen Gewichtserhöhung und erweist sich deshalb als nachteilig. Hierzu wird auf die WO 95/25932 A1 verwiesen.In order to extend the overall length of the cooling air channel, it has been proposed to increase the overall wall thickness. However, this leads to a significant increase in weight and therefore proves to be disadvantageous. This is on the WO 95/25932 A1 directed.

Aus der US 2011/005233 A1 ist eine Wand bekannt, die zur Verlängerung der Gesamtlänge der Kühlluftkanäle mit Rippen versehen ist.From the US 2011/005233 A1 For example, a wall is known which is provided with ribs for lengthening the overall length of the cooling air ducts.

Ferner zeigt die EP 2 942 487 A1 ein Profil, beispielsweise ein Schaufelprofil für Rotoren oder Statoren eines Gasturbinentriebwerks. Das Profil weist Kühllöcher auf, welche entlang Achsen ausgebildet sind, wobei die Achsen schräg bezüglich einer äußeren Profiloberfläche sind. An einer Innenseite des Profils sind Vorsprünge vorgesehen, durch welche sich die Kühllöcher erstrecken und welche entweder schräg oder parallel bezüglich der jeweiligen Achse ausgerichtet sein können. Die Kühllöcher können durch verschiedene Prozesse, wie Laser- oder Wasserstrahlschneiden, eingebracht werden. Alternativ kann das ganze Bauteil mittels eines additiven Verfahrens gefertigt werden.Furthermore, the shows EP 2 942 487 A1 a profile, for example a blade profile for rotors or stators of a gas turbine engine. The profile has cooling holes formed along axes, the axes being oblique with respect to an outer profile surface. Projections are provided on an inner side of the profile through which the cooling holes extend and which can either be oriented obliquely or parallel with respect to the respective axis. The cooling holes can be introduced by various processes, such as laser or water jet cutting. Alternatively, the entire component can be manufactured by means of an additive process.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine mittels Kühlluft zu kühlende Wand eines Bauteils zu schaffen, welche bei einfachem Aufbau und einfacher, kostengünstiger Herstellbarkeit eine optimierte Kühlung gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to provide a means of cooling air to be cooled wall of a component, which ensures optimized cooling with a simple structure and simple, cost manufacturability.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmalskombination des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, die Unteransprüche zeigen weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.According to the invention the object is achieved by the combination of features of claim 1, the dependent claims show further advantageous embodiments of the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß ist somit vorgesehen, dass der Kühlluftkanal auf der Seite der Zufuhr von Kühlluft rohrförmig verlängert ausgebildet ist. Der Kühlluftkanal erstreckt sich somit durch die zu kühlende Wandung und ragt in Form eines rohrförmigen Ansatzes über die Oberfläche vor, an der die Kühlluft zugeführt wird. Dies führt zum einen dazu, dass sich die gesamte Länge des Kühlluftkanals erhöht. Der rohrförmige Ansatz bildet somit eine zusätzliche Kühlfläche für die durch den Kühlluftkanal strömende Kühlluft, so dass die Wand insgesamt besser gekühlt werden kann.According to the invention it is thus provided that the cooling air channel is formed tubular extended on the side of the supply of cooling air. The cooling air duct thus extends through the wall to be cooled and protrudes in the form of a tubular extension over the surface at which the cooling air is supplied. On the one hand, this leads to the fact that the entire length of the cooling air duct increases. The tubular extension thus forms an additional cooling surface for the cooling air flowing through the cooling air channel, so that the wall can be cooled better overall.

Weiterhin führt die erfindungsgemäße rohrförmige Verlängerung dazu, dass eine vergrößerte Außenfläche geschaffen wird, nämlich des rohrförmigen Ansatzes, welche ebenfalls zum Wärmeübergang genutzt wird, da diese von der Kühlluft umströmt wird.Furthermore, the tubular extension according to the invention causes an enlarged outer surface is created, namely the tubular approach, which is also used for heat transfer, since it is flowed around by the cooling air.

Um dieser Aufgabe der Wärmeübertragung noch besser nachkommen zu können, wird die rohrförmige Verlängerung mit der dem Heißgas ausgesetzten Wandung durch eine Rippe verbunden, sodass die Wärme auch durch die Rippe von der Wandung in die rohrförmige Verlängerung geleitet werden kann. Dadurch wird die Temperatur der rohrförmigen Verlängerung erhöht und dadurch die Kühlwirkung des Gesamtsystems verbessert. Die rohrförmige Verlängerung ist ferner in einem Winkel zur Oberfläche der Wand angeordnet. Die Rippe stützt die rohrförmige Verlängerung gegenüber der Oberfläche der Wand ab. Der Winkel, in welcher die rohrförmige Verlängerung zur Oberfläche der Wand angeordnet ist, ist erfindungsgemäß ein spitzer Winkel, insbesondere in einem Winkelbereich zwischen 15° und 45°. Weiter bevorzugt ist eine maximale Breite der rohrförmigen Verlängerung des Kühlluftkanals größer als eine maximale Breite der Rippe. Die Breite der Rippe ist vorzugsweise konstant. Alternativ weist die Rippe am Fußbereich, an welchem die Rippe an der Wand angeordnet ist, eine größere Breite auf als an einem Verbindungsbereich zur rohrförmigen Verlängerung des Kühlluftkanals.To fulfill this task of heat transfer even better, the tubular extension is connected to the wall exposed to the hot gas by a rib, so that the heat through the rib from the wall into the tubular Extension can be directed. This increases the temperature of the tubular extension and thereby improves the cooling effect of the overall system. The tubular extension is further disposed at an angle to the surface of the wall. The rib supports the tubular extension opposite the surface of the wall. The angle at which the tubular extension is arranged to the surface of the wall, according to the invention is an acute angle, in particular in an angular range between 15 ° and 45 °. More preferably, a maximum width of the tubular extension of the cooling air channel is greater than a maximum width of the rib. The width of the rib is preferably constant. Alternatively, the rib at the foot region, on which the rib is arranged on the wall, a greater width than at a connection region to the tubular extension of the cooling air duct.

Ein zusätzlicher Effekt, der die Kühlung verbessert, liegt darin, dass der rohrförmige Ansatz, welcher über die Oberfläche der Seite der Wand vorsteht, zur Turbulenzbildung der Kühlluft führt. Auch hierdurch wird der Wärmeübergangskoeffizient erhöht.An additional effect that improves cooling is that the tubular projection projecting over the surface of the side of the wall results in turbulence of the cooling air. This also increases the heat transfer coefficient.

Die rohrförmigen Ansätze oder Verlängerungen können insgesamt ein relativ geringes Volumen aufweisen, so dass das Gesamtgewicht der Wand insgesamt nur unwesentlich größer wird. Dies erweist sich insbesondere bei Bauteilen von Vorteil, deren Gewicht zu minimieren ist.Overall, the tubular projections or extensions can have a relatively small volume, so that the overall weight of the wall as a whole becomes only insignificantly larger. This proves to be particularly advantageous for components whose weight is to be minimized.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht bei inneren, heißen Brennkammerwänden von Brennkammern von Gasturbinen. Aber auch andere, durch Kühlluft zu kühlende Wandelemente können erfindungsgemäß weitergebildet werden, beispielsweise Wandungen von Turbinenschaufeln, welche durch Kühlluftkanäle im Innenraum der Turbinenschaufeln gekühlt werden.A particularly advantageous application of the solution according to the invention consists in inner, hot combustion chamber walls of combustion chambers of gas turbines. But other, to be cooled by cooling air wall elements can be further developed according to the invention, for example, walls of turbine blades, which are cooled by cooling air ducts in the interior of the turbine blades.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass ein Teil der Strömungslänge des Kühlluftkanals als Diffusor ausgebildet ist, welcher sich im Wesentlichen durch die gesamte Dicke der Wand erstreckt. Bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen ist nur eine geringe Länge des Kühlluftkanals als Diffusor nutzbar, da die Wanddicke die Diffusorlänge limitiert. Durch die rohrförmigen Ansätze wird erfindungsgemäß eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, die wirksame Länge des Diffusors wesentlich zu erhöhten, wobei der Diffusor nicht nur über die gesamte Dicke der Wand ausgebildet sein kann, sondern zusätzlich auch über einen Teilbereich des rohrförmigen Ansatzes.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that a part of the flow length of the cooling air channel is formed as a diffuser, which extends substantially through the entire thickness of the wall. In the solutions known from the prior art only a small length of the cooling air duct can be used as a diffuser, since the wall thickness limits the diffuser length. By means of the tubular projections, a possibility according to the invention is created for substantially increasing the effective length of the diffuser, wherein the diffuser can not only be formed over the entire thickness of the wall, but additionally also over a partial region of the tubular extension.

Der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene rohrförmige Ansatz der Wand kann auf unterschiedliche Weise hergestellt sein. Wenn die Wand als Gussteil hergestellt ist, weist der gesamte Kühlluftkanal, auch der Bereich, in dem er sich durch den rohrförmigen Ansatz oder die rohrförmige Verlängerung erstreckt, einen geradlinigen Verlauf mit gerader Achse auf. Die rohrförmige Verlängerung kann dabei leicht konisch ausgebildet sein, um eine für das Gussverfahren geeignete Entformungsschräge aufzuweisen. Der Kühlluftkanal kann dabei mittels Laser oder mittels Funkenerosion erzeugt sein. Die Rippe zwischen Wandung und rohrförmiger Verlängerung erhöht die Stabilität des Wachsmodells für einen Guss in der verlorenen Form und sie bessert auch die Füllung der rohrförmigen Verlängerung während des eigentlichen Gießvorgangs.The inventively provided tubular approach of the wall can be made in different ways. When the wall is made as a casting, the entire cooling air channel, also the region in which it extends through the tubular extension or the tubular extension, has a rectilinear course with a straight axis. The tubular extension can be slightly conical in this case in order to have a draft angle suitable for the casting process. The cooling air duct can be generated by means of laser or by spark erosion. The rib between the wall and the tubular extension increases the stability of the wax model for casting in the lost mold and also improves the filling of the tubular extension during the actual casting process.

Auch bei einer generativen Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Wand bzw. des mit der Wand versehenen Bauteils (Laserauftragsschweißverfahren oder ähnliches) ist die Abstützung der rohrförmigen Verlängerung mittels einer Rippe hilfreich. Die Rippe sorgt für einen fertigungstechnisch optimierten Aufbau der Geometrie, da keine freistehenden Teile vorhanden sind und daher keine Stützkonstruktionen vorgesehen sein müssen, die nachträglich zu entfernen sind. Erfindungsgemäß wird während der generativen Herstellung zuerst eine Teil der Rippe erzeugt und danach erste die rohrförmige Verlängerung zusammen mit dem Rest der Rippe. Bei einer derartig hergestellten Wandung ist es zudem möglich, den Kühlluftkanal zu krümmen, beispielsweise bogenförmig. Dies bedeutet, dass der Kühlluftkanal an der Seite der Kühlluftzufuhr zu der ihn umgebenden Oberfläche einen größeren Winkel aufweist, als im Austrittsbereich an der thermisch belasteten Seite der Wand. Hierbei ergibt sich die Orientierung der Rippe aus der Richtung des generativen Aufbaus, also im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Grundplatte, auf der die einzelnen Schichten während der generativen Fertigung erzeugt werden, und sie weicht von dieser Richtung erfindungsgemäß nicht mehr als ±30° ab. Die Richtung der Krümmung des Kühlluftkanals ergibt sich aber aus den Erfordernissen der Bauteilkühlung. Nahe des Brennkammerkopfes oder vor bzw. hinter Wanddurchbrüchen wie Mischluftlöchern oder Zugangslöchern für Zündkerzen, kann es sinnvoll sein, dass der Austritt des Kühlluftkanals einen anderen Winkel zur Achse des Triebwerks hat als der Eintritt, zum Beispiel 30° am Eintritt und 45° am Austritt, um den Kühlluftkanal um solche Wanddurchbrüche herumzuführen. Insgesamt kann also vorteilhaft sein, dass die Rippe und der Kühlluftkanal zwei unterschiedliche Ausrichtungen haben.Even with a generative production of the wall according to the invention or of the walled component (laser deposition welding method or the like), the support of the tubular extension by means of a rib is helpful. The rib ensures a production-optimized design of the geometry, since there are no free-standing parts and therefore no support structures must be provided, the be removed later. According to the invention, during the generative production, first a part of the rib is produced and thereafter the tubular extension together with the rest of the rib. In such a wall, it is also possible to bend the cooling air duct, for example, arcuate. This means that the cooling air duct on the side of the cooling air supply to the surrounding surface has a greater angle, as in the exit region on the thermally loaded side of the wall. In this case, the orientation of the rib results from the direction of the generative structure, that is, substantially perpendicular to the base plate on which the individual layers are produced during the generative production, and deviates from this direction according to the invention not more than ± 30 °. However, the direction of the curvature of the cooling air channel results from the requirements of component cooling. Near the combustion chamber head or in front of or behind wall openings such as mixing holes or access holes for spark plugs, it may be useful that the outlet of the cooling air duct has a different angle to the axis of the engine than the inlet, for example 30 ° at the inlet and 45 ° at the outlet, to guide the cooling air duct around such wall openings. Overall, it may thus be advantageous that the rib and the cooling air channel have two different orientations.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Mittelachse des Kühlluftkanals und die Rippenmittelachse der Rippe derart vorgesehen, dass die beiden Mittelachsen zueinander in einem spitzen Winkel angeordnet sind. Der Winkel liegt bevorzugt zwischen 15° und 45° und beträgt besonders bevorzugt 30°.According to the invention, the center axis of the cooling air channel and the rib central axis of the rib are provided such that the two center axes are arranged at an acute angle to one another. The angle is preferably between 15 ° and 45 ° and is particularly preferably 30 °.

Weiter bevorzugt umfasst die Wand ein Hindernis, insbesondere eine Öffnung, wie beispielsweise eine Mischluftöffnung oder ein Zugangsloch für eine Zündkerze, wobei entlang des Umfangs des Hindernisses eine Vielzahl von Kühlluftkanälen mit Rippen angeordnet sind. Insbesondere, wenn sich die Mittelachsen des Kühlluftkanals und der Rippe schneiden, kann durch die Anordnung einer Vielzahl von Kühlluftkanälen eine kühlende Umströmung des Hindernisses an der thermisch belasteten Seite der Wand erreicht werden.More preferably, the wall comprises an obstacle, in particular an opening, such as a mixed air opening or an access hole for a spark plug, wherein along the circumference of the obstacle, a plurality of cooling air ducts are arranged with ribs. In particular, when the center axes of the cooling air duct and the rib intersect, a cooling flow around the obstacle on the thermally loaded side of the wall can be achieved by the arrangement of a plurality of cooling air ducts.

Weiter bevorzugt ist die Mittelachse des Kühlluftkanals parallel zu einer Strömung gerichtet, welche an der thermisch belasteten Seite der Wand vorhanden ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine verbesserte Kühlung der thermisch belasteten Wand.More preferably, the central axis of the cooling air channel is directed parallel to a flow which is present on the thermally loaded side of the wall. This results in improved cooling of the thermally loaded wall.

Erfindungsgemäß kann weiterhin der Einlaufbereich der rohrförmigen Verlängerung des Kühlluftkanals strömungsoptimiert ausgebildet sein. Er kann entweder scharfkantig, mit einer Fase oder abgerundet gestaltet sein.According to the invention, the inlet region of the tubular extension of the cooling air channel can furthermore be designed to be flow-optimized. It can be either sharp-edged, beveled or rounded.

Erfindungsgemäß kann der Querschnitt des Kühlluftkanals bei der Verwendung in einer inneren Brennkammerwand beliebige Formen aufweisen, beispielsweise kreisförmig, elliptisch oder in Form eines Langlochs. Im letzteren Fall kann der Kühlluftkanal beispielsweise 0,5 mm x 1,8 mm groß dimensioniert sein.According to the invention, the cross-section of the cooling air duct when used in an inner combustion chamber wall may have any shapes, for example circular, elliptical or in the form of a slot. In the latter case, the cooling air duct can be dimensioned, for example, 0.5 mm x 1.8 mm in size.

Wie bereits erwähnt, führt die rohrförmige Verlängerung des Kühlluftkanals in Zusammenhang mit der Rippe, zu einer zusätzlichen Verwirbelung der anströmenden Kühlluft und resultiert somit in einem verbesserten Wärmeübergang.As already mentioned, the tubular extension of the cooling air duct in connection with the rib leads to an additional turbulence of the inflowing cooling air and thus results in an improved heat transfer.

Bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäß ausgestalteten Wand in einer doppelwandigen Gasturbinenbrennkammer ist die Länge der rohrförmigen Verlängerung oder des rohrförmigen Ansatzes des Kühlluftkanals so bemessen, dass diese als Abstandshalter zur äußeren Brennkammerwand dient. Demgemäß ist die Orientierung der durch den Einlaufbereich senkrecht zur Mittelachse des Kühlluftkanals gebildeten Fläche so gewählt, dass sie nicht senkrecht zu der Oberfläche der Seite der Kühlluftzufuhr der Wand ist. Dies würde bei einem Kontakt mit einer äußeren Brennkammerwand zu einem Verschließen des Einlaufbereichs führen. Es ist somit eine winkelmäßige Anordnung vorgesehen, welche sich beispielsweise nur bis ca. 45° erstreckt. Dies ermöglicht eine ausreichend große Einströmfläche auch bei Kontakt mit der äußeren Brennkammerwand. Die Orientierung der Fläche, durch welche die Kühlluft in den Kühlluftkanal einströmt, wird durch das jeweils verwendete Fertigungsverfahren bestimmt. Auch dies führt dazu, dass der Kühlluftkanal nicht senkrecht auf der Oberfläche der Seite der Kühlluftzufuhr der Wand angeordnet ist. Im Falle eines Gussteils wird die Orientierung durch die Entformungsschräge bestimmt. Im Falle einer generativen Erzeugung wird die Orientierung der Fläche durch die Fähigkeit des jeweiligen generativen Verfahrens bestimmt, überhängende Strukturen ohne zusätzliche Stützstruktur zu erzeugen, da eine zusätzliche Stützstruktur später wieder arbeitsintensiv entfernt werden müsste.When using the inventively designed wall in a double-walled gas turbine combustor, the length of the tubular extension or the tubular extension of the cooling air duct is dimensioned such that it serves as a spacer to the outer combustion chamber wall. Accordingly, the orientation of the surface formed by the inlet region perpendicular to the central axis of the cooling air passage is selected so as not to be perpendicular to the surface of the cooling air supply side of the wall. This would lead to a closure of the inlet region upon contact with an outer combustion chamber wall. It is thus an angular arrangement is provided, which extends for example only up to about 45 °. This allows a sufficiently large inflow even when in contact with the outer combustion chamber wall. The orientation of the surface through which the cooling air flows into the cooling air duct is determined by the particular manufacturing method used. This also results in that the cooling air channel is not arranged perpendicular to the surface of the side of the cooling air supply of the wall. In the case of a casting, the orientation is determined by the Entformungsschräge. In the case of generative generation, the orientation of the surface is determined by the ability of the respective generative method to produce overhanging structures without additional support structure, since an additional support structure would later have to be laboriously removed again.

Wenn die erfindungsgemäße Wand als innere Brennkammerwand einer doppelwandigen Gasturbinenbrennkammer verwendet wird, kann es vorkommen, dass ein Hindernis, wie beispielsweise ein Mischluftloch oder ein vorderer Schindelrand, beispielsweise in Richtung zu einem Brennkammerkopf, im Einströmbereich der rohrförmigen Verlängerung des Kühlluftkanals positioniert ist. In diesem Falle ist es erfindungsgemäß möglich, wie oben stehend bereits angedeutet, die rohrförmige Verlängerung bogenförmig oder stärker gekrümmt auszubilden. In diesem Falle würde die Gesamthöhe der rohrförmigen Verlängerung geringer sein, als der Abstand zwischen der inneren und der äußeren Brennkammerwand. Es würde sich somit ein Abstand ergeben, der 0,5 bis 2 x dem hydraulischen Durchmesser des Kühlluftkanals entspricht. Somit wird vermieden, dass der Einlaufbereich der rohrförmigen Verlängerung bei einem thermischen Verzug blockiert wird, da die innere Brennkammerwand am Rand des Mischluftloches oder am Schindelrand Kontakt mit der äußeren Brennkammerwand bekommen würde. In jedem Falle bleibt der Einlaufbereich für die Kühlluft in den Kühlluftkanal offen.When the wall according to the invention is used as the inner combustion chamber wall of a double-walled gas turbine combustor, it may happen that an obstruction, such as a mixing air hole or front shingle edge, for example towards a combustion head, is positioned in the inflow region of the tubular extension of the cooling air passage. In this case, it is possible according to the invention, as already indicated above, form the tubular extension arcuate or more curved. In this case, the overall height of the tubular extension would be less than the distance between the inner and outer combustion chamber walls. It would thus result in a distance corresponding to 0.5 to 2 x the hydraulic diameter of the cooling air duct. Thus, it is avoided that the inlet region of the tubular extension is blocked in a thermal distortion, because the inner combustion chamber wall would get in contact with the outer combustion chamber wall at the edge of the mixing air hole or at the shingle edge. In any case, the inlet region for the cooling air remains open in the cooling air duct.

Hinsichtlich der Möglichkeit, in der Wand einen Diffusor auszubilden, ergibt sich erfindungsgemäß somit die Möglichkeit, den Diffusor in einem größeren Abstand von der thermisch belasteten Seite der Wand beginnen zu lassen. Bei gleichem Öffnungswinkel des Diffusors ergibt sich somit, im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik, eine erhebliche Verlängerung des Diffusors, ohne dass eine Erhöhung der Kühlluft-Durchflussmenge erforderlich ist.With regard to the possibility of forming a diffuser in the wall, the invention thus provides the possibility of starting the diffuser at a greater distance from the thermally loaded side of the wall. At the same opening angle of the diffuser thus results in comparison to the prior art, a significant extension of the diffuser, without an increase in the cooling air flow rate is required.

Wie sich aus oben stehender Beschreibung ergibt, zeichnet sich die Erfindung durch eine Reihe von erheblichen Vorteilen aus:
Durch die rohrförmige Verlängerung des Kühlluftkanals wird die innere Oberfläche des Kühlluftkanals vergrößert, so dass sich ein erhöhter Wärmeübergang ergibt.
As is apparent from the above description, the invention is characterized by a number of significant advantages:
Due to the tubular extension of the cooling air channel, the inner surface of the cooling air channel is increased, so that there is an increased heat transfer.

Zusätzlich wird durch die rohrförmige Verlängerung auch die Oberfläche der Seite der Wand, auf welcher die Kühlluftzufuhr erfolgt, vergrößert. Diese Oberfläche wird bei der Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Wand in einer Gasturbinenbrennkammer üblicherweise über eine Prallkühlung gekühlt. Durch die Vergrößerung der Oberfläche wird mehr Wärme von der Kühlluft aufgenommen, so dass die Temperatur der Wand insgesamt gesenkt werden kann.In addition, by the tubular extension and the surface of the side of the wall on which the cooling air supply is increased. This surface is usually cooled by an impact cooling when using the wall according to the invention in a gas turbine combustor. By enlarging the surface, more heat is absorbed by the cooling air, so that the overall temperature of the wall can be lowered.

Die rohrförmige Verlängerung führt zu einer Erhöhung des Turbulenzgrades der Strömung in der Prallkühlkavität, nämlich dem Zwischenraum zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Brennkammerwand, in welchen Kühlluft durch Prallkühllöcher der äußeren Brennkammerwand zugeführt wird. Auch dies führt zu einem erhöhten Wärmeübergang.The tubular extension results in an increase in the degree of turbulence of the flow in the impingement cooling cavity, namely the gap between the outer and inner combustion chamber walls, in which cooling air is supplied through impingement cooling holes to the outer combustion chamber wall. This also leads to an increased heat transfer.

Durch die erfindungsgemäß geschaffene Möglichkeit, die wirksame Länge des Diffusors zu erhöhen und diesen bei gleichbleibendem Öffnungswinkel an seinem Austrittsbereich weiter zu öffnen, wird die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der durch den Kühlluftkanal strömenden Kühlluft vermindert. Durch die geringere Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Kühlluft wird die Filmkühlwirkung erhöht.As a result of the possibility created according to the invention of increasing the effective length of the diffuser and of further opening it at its outlet opening at a constant opening angle, the flow velocity of the cooling air flowing through the cooling air duct is reduced. Due to the lower flow velocity of the cooling air, the film cooling effect is increased.

Durch die Rippe, mittels derer die rohrförmige Verlängerung an der Oberfläche der Seite der Kühlluftzufuhr an der Wandung abgestützt ist, wird zusätzlich Wärme aus der Wand abgeleitet und in die rohrförmige Verlängerung geleitet. Dort kann sie nach innen in den verlängerten Kühlluftkanal und auch von der rohrförmigen Verlängerung nach außen an die umgebende Luft abgegeben werden. Durch die Umströmung der Rippe durch Kühlluft ergibt sich eine zusätzliche Kühlung der Wand.By the rib, by means of which the tubular extension is supported on the surface of the side of the cooling air supply to the wall, in addition heat is dissipated from the wall and passed into the tubular extension. There it can be discharged to the outside in the extended cooling air duct and also from the tubular extension to the outside to the surrounding air. The flow around the rib by cooling air results in additional cooling of the wall.

Bei Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Wand in einer doppelwandigen Gasturbinenbrennkammer gewährleistet der rohrförmige Ansatz die Aufrechterhaltung eines Abstandes zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Brennkammerwand. Somit wird sichergestellt, dass auch bei thermischen Verzügen insbesondere der inneren Brennkammerwand die Prallkühlung durch die Prallkühllöcher der äußeren Brennkammerwand ungehindert erfolgen kann, da ein Verschließen der Prallkühllöcher verhindert wird. Somit kann die Kühlluft durch die Prallkühllöcher in den Zwischenbereich zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Brennkammerwand ungehindert einströmen.When using the wall of the invention in a double-walled gas turbine combustor, the tubular extension ensures the maintenance of a distance between the outer and inner combustion chamber walls. This ensures that even in the case of thermal distortions, in particular of the inner combustion chamber wall, the impingement cooling through the impingement cooling holes of the outer combustion chamber wall can take place unhindered, since closure of the impingement cooling holes is prevented. Thus, the cooling air can flow through the baffle cooling holes in the intermediate region between the outer and the inner combustion chamber wall unhindered.

Die Rippe führt zu dem Vorteil, dass die erfindungsgemäße Wand mit einer bevorzugten Geometrie herstellbar ist, sei es als Gussteil oder in einem generativen Verfahren, um das Wärme von der thermisch belasteten Wand in die rohrförmige Verlängerung geleitet wird und dort von der Luft aufgenommen werden kann.The rib leads to the advantage that the wall according to the invention can be produced with a preferred geometry, be it as a casting or in a generative process by which heat is conducted from the thermally loaded wall into the tubular extension and can be absorbed by the air there ,

Eine Strömungsoptimierung, beispielsweise eine deutliche Ausrundung des Einlaufbereichs des rohrförmigen Ansatzes gewährleistet, dass die Strömung sich an der gesamten inneren Wandung des Kühlluftkanals anlegt und einen guten Wärmeübergang schafft.A flow optimization, for example, a significant rounding of the inlet region of the tubular extension ensures that the flow applies to the entire inner wall of the cooling air channel and creates a good heat transfer.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein additives Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Wand nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 9. Erfindungsgemäß ist das additive Verfahren derart ausgebildet, dass der Kühlluftkanal und die Rippe additiv hergestellt werden, derart, dass die Rippe eine Abstützung des Kühlluftkanals während des Herstellungsverfahrens bereitstellt.Furthermore, the invention relates to an additive method for producing a wall according to one of claims 1 to 9. According to the invention, the additive method is designed such that the cooling air duct and the rib are made additive, such that the rib provides support of the cooling air duct during the manufacturing process ,

Das Gasturbinentriebwerk 110 gemäß Fig. 1 ist ein allgemein dargestelltes Beispiel einer Turbomaschine, bei der die Erfindung Anwendung finden kann. Das Triebwerk 110 ist in herkömmlicher Weise ausgebildet und umfasst in Strömungsrichtung hintereinander einen Lufteinlass 111, einen in einem Gehäuse umlaufenden Fan 112, einen Mitteldruckkompressor 113, einen Hochdruckkompressor 114, eine Brennkammer 115, eine Hochdruckturbine 116, eine Mitteldruckturbine 117 und eine Niederdruckturbine 118 sowie eine Abgasdüse 119 mit einem Auslasskonus, die sämtlich um eine zentrale Triebwerksmittelachse 101 angeordnet sind.The gas turbine engine 110 according to Fig. 1 is a generalized example of a turbomachine, in which the invention can be applied. The engine 110 is formed in a conventional manner and comprises in succession an air inlet 111, a fan 112 circulating in a housing, a medium pressure compressor 113, a high pressure compressor 114, a combustion chamber 115, a high pressure turbine 116, a medium pressure turbine 117 and a low pressure turbine 118 and a Exhaust nozzle 119 with an outlet cone, which are all arranged around a central engine center axis 101.

Der Mitteldruckkompressor 113 und der Hochdruckkompressor 114 umfassen jeweils mehrere Stufen, von denen jede eine in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende Anordnung fester stationärer Leitschaufeln 120 aufweist, die allgemein als Statorschaufeln bezeichnet werden und die radial nach innen vom Triebwerksgehäuse 121 in einem ringförmigen Strömungskanal durch die Kompressoren 113, 114 vorstehen. Die Kompressoren weisen weiter eine Anordnung von Kompressorlaufschaufeln 122 auf, die radial nach außen von einer drehbaren Trommel oder Scheibe 125 vorstehen, die mit Naben 126 der Hochdruckturbine 116 bzw. der Mitteldruckturbine 117 gekoppelt sind.The intermediate pressure compressor 113 and the high pressure compressor 114 each include a plurality of stages, each of which includes a circumferentially extending array of fixed stationary vanes 120, commonly referred to as stator vanes, that radially inwardly from the engine casing 121 in an annular flow passage through the compressors 113, 114 protrude. The compressors further include an array of compressor blades 122 projecting radially outward from a rotatable drum or disc 125 coupled to hubs 126 of high pressure turbine 116 and intermediate pressure turbine 117, respectively.

Die Turbinenabschnitte 116, 117, 118 weisen ähnliche Stufen auf, umfassend eine Anordnung von festen Leitschaufeln 123, die radial nach innen vom Gehäuse 121 in den ringförmigen Strömungskanal durch die Turbinen 116, 117, 118 vorstehen, und eine nachfolgende Anordnung von Turbinenschaufeln 124, die nach außen von einer drehbaren Nabe 126 vorstehen. Die Kompressortrommel oder Kompressorscheibe 125 und die darauf angeordneten Schaufeln 122 sowie die Turbinenrotornabe 126 und die darauf angeordneten Turbinenlaufschaufeln 124 drehen sich im Betrieb um die Triebwerksmittelachse 101.The turbine sections 116, 117, 118 have similar stages, comprising an array of fixed vanes 123 projecting radially inward from the housing 121 into the annular flow passage through the turbines 116, 117, 118, and a downstream array of turbine blades 124, projecting outwardly from a rotatable hub 126. The compressor drum or compressor disk 125 and the vanes 122 disposed thereon and the turbine rotor hub 126 and turbine blades 124 disposed thereon rotate about the engine centerline 101 during operation.

Dabei ist eine Brennkammer 1 mit einer Mittelachse 9 dargestellt, welche einen Brennkammerkopf 3, eine Grundplatte 8 und ein Hitzeschild 2 umfasst. Eine Brennerdichtung ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 4 versehen. Die Brennkammer 1 weist eine äußere kalte Brennkammerwand 7 auf, an welcher eine innere, heiße Brennkammerwand 6 befestigt ist. Zur Zuführung von Mischluft sind Mischluftlöcher 5 vorgesehen. Auf die Darstellung von Prallkühllöchern und Effusionslöchern wurde der Übersichtlichkeit halber verzichtet.The Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a known from the prior art combustion chamber wall in an enlarged view. Here is a combustion chamber 1 with a Central axis 9 shown, which includes a combustion chamber head 3, a base plate 8 and a heat shield 2. A burner seal is provided with the reference numeral 4. The combustion chamber 1 has an outer cold combustion chamber wall 7, to which an inner, hot combustion chamber wall 6 is attached. For supplying mixed air mixing air holes 5 are provided. The presentation of impingement cooling holes and effusion holes has been omitted for clarity.

Die innere Brennkammerwand 6 ist mit Bolzen 13 versehen, welche als Gewindebolzen ausgeführt sind und mittels Muttern 14 verschraubt sind. Die Lagerung der Brennkammer 1 erfolgt über Brennkammerflansche 12 und Brennkammeraufhängungen 11. Mit 10 ist eine Dichtlippe bezeichnet.The inner combustion chamber wall 6 is provided with bolts 13, which are designed as threaded bolts and are screwed by means of nuts 14. The storage of the combustion chamber 1 takes place via combustion chamber flanges 12 and combustion chamber suspensions 11. Denoted by 10 is a sealing lip.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt in perspektivischer Teilansicht Ausführungsvarianten einer beispielhaften Wand 16. An der Wand sind als Effusionslöcher wirkende Kühlluftkanäle 15 ausgebildet. Diese können, wie in der rechte Bildhälfte der Fig. 3 dargestellt, einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen oder, wie in der linken Bildhälfte dargestellt, mit einem länglichen Querschnitt versehen sein. Das Bezugszeichen 22 zeigt einen Einlaufbereich des jeweiligen Kühlluftkanals 15. Aus den Darstellungen der Fig. 3 ergibt sich, dass die Kühlluftkanäle 15 rohrförmig verlängert ausgebildet sind. Die rohrförmigen Verlängerungen 19 sind in einem Winkel 23 zur Oberfläche einer Seite 17 der Wand 16, welche mit Kühlluft beaufschlagt wird, geneigt. Die rohrförmigen Verlängerungen 19 sind jeweils mittels einer Rippe 21 abgestützt. Die Rippe 21 dient einerseits der Vereinfachung der Herstellung der Wand. Andererseits bildet die Rippe 21 eine zusätzliche Oberfläche, zusätzlich zur Oberfläche der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19, welche von Kühlluft umströmt wird und somit eine Wärmeübergangsüberfläche bildet. Durch den abgerundeten, strömungsgünstig ausgebildeten Einlaufbereich 22 erfolgt eine verbesserte Einströmung in die Kühlluftkanäle 15.The Fig. 3 shows in perspective partial view embodiments of an exemplary wall 16. On the wall acting as effusion holes cooling air channels 15 are formed. These can, as in the right half of the Fig. 3 represented, have a circular cross section or, as shown in the left half of the figure, be provided with an elongated cross section. The reference numeral 22 shows an inlet region of the respective cooling air channel 15. From the illustrations of Fig. 3 shows that the cooling air channels 15 are formed tubular extended. The tubular extensions 19 are inclined at an angle 23 to the surface of a side 17 of the wall 16, which is supplied with cooling air. The tubular extensions 19 are each supported by a rib 21. The rib 21 serves on the one hand to simplify the production of the wall. On the other hand, the rib 21 forms an additional surface, in addition to the surface of the tubular extension 19, which is surrounded by cooling air and thus forms a heat transfer surface. Due to the rounded, streamlined inlet region 22, there is an improved inflow into the cooling air channels 15.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt eine vereinfachte Schnittdarstellung des Ausführungsbeispiels der Fig. 3 durch eine der rohrförmigen Verlängerungen 19. Dabei ergibt sich, dass eine Mittelachse 24 des bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel geradlinig ausgebildeten Kühlluftkanals 15 in einem Winkel 23 zur Oberfläche der Seite 17 der Wand 16 geneigt ist. Dieser Winkel kann zwischen 15° und 45° betragen. Zur Vereinfachung ist in Fig. 4 der Winkel 23 zwischen der Seite 17 und der gestrichelt gezeigten Außenkontur der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19 eingezeichnet.The Fig. 4 shows a simplified sectional view of the embodiment of Fig. 3 The result is that a central axis 24 of the rectilinear cooling air channel 15 formed in this embodiment is inclined at an angle 23 to the surface of the side 17 of the wall 16. This angle can be between 15 ° and 45 °. For simplicity, in Fig. 4 the angle 23 between the side 17 and the dashed outline shown outer contour of the tubular extension 19 located.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt weiterhin parallel zur Wand 16 eine äußere Brennkammerwand 7. Diese weist zur Wand 16, welche eine innere Brennkammerwand bildet (s. Fig. 2) einen Abstand auf, in welchem Kühlluft durch nicht dargestellte Prallkühllöcher eingeleitet wird. Die rohrförmige Verlängerung 19 bildet zusätzlich einen Abstandshalter zwischen der Wand 16 und der Brennkammerwand 7. Bei einem thermischen Verzug der Wand 16 wird somit stets sichergestellt, dass ein ausreichendes Volumen zur Durchleitung von Kühlluft aufrechterhalten bleibt.The Fig. 4 further shows parallel to the wall 16, an outer combustion chamber wall 7. This has to the wall 16, which forms an inner combustion chamber wall (s. Fig. 2 ) at a distance in which cooling air is introduced by not shown impingement cooling holes. The tubular extension 19 additionally forms a spacer between the wall 16 and the Combustion chamber wall 7. In a thermal distortion of the wall 16 is thus always ensured that a sufficient volume for the passage of cooling air is maintained.

Der Einlaufbereich 22 der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19 bildet eine Fläche 25, welche in einem Winkel zur Oberfläche der Seite 17 der Wand 16 geneigt ist. Selbst wenn ein Kontakt zwischen der Brennkammerwand 7 und der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19 auftreten würde, wäre der Einlaufbereich 22 des Kühlluftkanals 15 weiterhin frei, sodass eine Einströmung von Kühlluft in den Kühlluftkanal gewährleistet ist.The inlet region 22 of the tubular extension 19 forms a surface 25 which is inclined at an angle to the surface of the side 17 of the wall 16. Even if a contact between the combustion chamber wall 7 and the tubular extension 19 would occur, the inlet region 22 of the cooling air channel 15 would continue to be free, so that an inflow of cooling air into the cooling air channel is ensured.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt mit dem Bezugszeichen 18 eine thermisch belastete Seite der Wand 16. Dies wird nachfolgend im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 4 im Einzelnen erläutert.The Fig. 4 shows by reference numeral 18 a thermally loaded side of the wall 16. This will be described below in connection with the Fig. 4 explained in detail.

Die Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen eine Ausgestaltungsvariante der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19, bei welcher die rohrförmige Verlängerung 19 in ihrem Einlaufbereich im Wesentlichen parallel zur Seite 17 der Wand 16 angeordnet ist. Diese Ausgestaltungsvariante wird bevorzugt dann gewählt, wenn der Kühlluftkanal 15 angrenzend an einem Rand 26, beispielsweise einem Schindelrand oder am Rand eines Mischluftlochs 5 ausgebildet ist. Ein geradliniger Kühlluftkanal 15, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, würde zu keiner optimalen Einströmung von Kühlluft führen. Deshalb ist bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 und 6 der gesamte Kühlluftkanal 15 gebogen ausgebildet. Es versteht sich, dass die Höhe der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19 geringer ist, als die Höhe des Randes 26, so dass es auch bei einem direkten Kontakt der Wand 16 mit der nicht dargestellten Brennkammerwand 7 (s. Fig. 4) nicht zu einem Verschluss des Einlaufbereichs 22 führt.The FIGS. 5 and 6 show a design variant of the tubular extension 19, in which the tubular extension 19 is arranged in its inlet region substantially parallel to the side 17 of the wall 16. This embodiment variant is preferably selected when the cooling air channel 15 is formed adjacent to an edge 26, for example a shingle edge or at the edge of a mixing air hole 5. A straight-line cooling air duct 15, as in Fig. 4 would not lead to optimal inflow of cooling air. Therefore, in the embodiment of the FIGS. 5 and 6 formed the entire cooling air duct 15 bent. It is understood that the height of the tubular extension 19 is less than the height of the edge 26, so that it is also in a direct contact of the wall 16 with the combustion chamber wall 7, not shown (s. Fig. 4 ) does not lead to a closure of the inlet region 22.

Auch bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 und 6 ist, wie bei dem vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispiel, der Einlaufbereich 22 abgerundet und strömungsoptimiert ausgebildet.Also in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 is, as in the previous embodiment, the inlet region 22 rounded and designed to optimize flow.

Die Fig. 7 zeigt eine Schnittansicht durch die Wand, beispielsweise gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 4. Dabei ist die Schnittrichtung so gewählt, dass ein Diffusor 20 dargestellt ist, welcher sich zu der thermisch belasteten Seite 18 der Wand 16 öffnet. Aus der Schnittansicht der Fig. 7 ergibt sich die rohrförmige Verlängerung 19. Es versteht sich, dass die Wanddickenverhältnisse zum Zwecke der deutlicheren Darstellung nicht maßstabsgetreu sind. Das Bezugszeichen 27 zeigt mit dem linken Pfeil den wirksamen Querschnitt des Kühlluftkanals 15. Nach einer vorgegebenen Lauflänge des Kühlluftkanals 15 in der rohrförmigen Verlängerung 19 beginnt, wie mit durchgezogenen Linien dargestellt, im Bereich des Bezugszeichens 28 der Diffusor 20. Aus der Darstellung ist ersichtlich, dass bei gleichbleibendem Diffusorwinkel (bezogen auf die Mittelachse 24 des Kühlluftkanals 15) der versetzt angeordnete Beginn des Diffusors 20 zu einer größeren Öffnung und damit zu einem größeren Querschnitt 29 des Kühlluftkanal-Austritts führt.The Fig. 7 shows a sectional view through the wall, for example according to the embodiment of Fig. 4 , The cutting direction is chosen so that a diffuser 20 is shown, which opens to the thermally loaded side 18 of the wall 16. From the sectional view of Fig. 7 it follows that the wall thickness ratios are not to scale for the purpose of clarity of illustration. The reference numeral 27 shows with the left arrow the effective cross section of the cooling air channel 15. After a predetermined running length of the cooling air channel 15 in the tubular extension 19 begins, as shown by solid lines, in the region of the reference numeral 28, the diffuser 20. From the illustration it can be seen that at a constant diffuser angle (relative to the central axis 24 of the cooling air channel 15) of the staggered beginning of the diffuser 20 leads to a larger opening and thus to a larger cross section 29 of the cooling air duct outlet.

Im Vergleich zeigt die Fig. 7 in gestrichelten Linien die Situation des Standes der Technik. Ohne die rohrförmige Verlängerung 19 wäre es erforderlich, den Querschnitt 27 eines verkürzten Kühlluftkanals über einen Teil der Dicke der Wand 16 aufrechtzuerhalten. Der Beginn des Diffusors wäre dabei in Richtung auf die thermisch belastete Seite 18 zurückversetzt, wodurch sich ein weitaus geringerer Querschnitt 29 im Bereich des Kühlluftaustritts des Kühlluftkanals 15 ergibt.In comparison, the shows Fig. 7 in dashed lines the situation of the prior art. Without the tubular extension 19, it would be necessary to maintain the cross-section 27 of a shortened cooling air passage over part of the thickness of the wall 16. The beginning of the diffuser would be set back in the direction of the thermally loaded side 18, resulting in a much smaller cross-section 29 in the region of the cooling air outlet of the cooling air duct 15.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine Ausgestaltungsvariante der Erfindung, bei der ein Hindernis 30, z.B. eine Mischluftöffnung, in der Wand 16 vorgesehen ist. Entlang des Umfangs des Hindernisses sind eine Vielzahl von Kühlluftkanälen 15 auf der Seite 17 der Kühlluftzufuhr angeordnet. Wie aus Fig. 8 ersichtlich ist, ist eine Mittelachse 24 der Kühlluftkanäle 15 in einem spitzen Winkel 31 zu einer Rippenmittelachse 32 angeordnet. Wie aus Fig. 8 ersichtlich ist, ermöglicht die Anordnung der Kühlluftkanäle 15 entlang des Umfangs des Hindernisses 30, dass eine ausreichende Kühlung an der thermisch belasteten Seite entlang des Umfangs des Hindernisses möglich ist. Die Kühlluftkanäle 15 sind dabei jeweils mit einer rohrförmigen Verlängerung und einem Diffusor ausgebildet und in Fig. 8 nur schematisch dargestellt. Fig. 8 shows an embodiment variant of the invention, in which an obstacle 30, for example a mixed air opening, is provided in the wall 16. Along the circumference of the obstacle, a plurality of cooling air channels 15 are arranged on the side 17 of the cooling air supply. How out Fig. 8 it can be seen, a central axis 24 of the cooling air channels 15 is arranged at an acute angle 31 to a rib central axis 32. How out Fig. 8 it can be seen, the arrangement of the cooling air channels 15 along the circumference of the obstacle 30 allows sufficient cooling on the thermally loaded side along the circumference of the obstacle. The cooling air channels 15 are each formed with a tubular extension and a diffuser and in Fig. 8 shown only schematically.

Fig. 9 zeigt eine weitere Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung, wobei eine Vielzahl von Kühlluftkanälen 15 vorgesehen ist. Die Mittelachsen 24 der Kühlluftkanäle 15 sind wie im in Fig. 8 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in einem spitzen Winkel 31 zur Rippenmittelachse 32 angeordnet. Wie aus Fig. 9 ersichtlich ist, ist dabei eine Ausrichtung der Kühlluftkanäle 15 derart, dass diese parallel zu einer Strömung 33 an der thermisch belasteten Seite sind, was in Fig. 9 durch den gestrichelten Pfeil (Strömung 33) angedeutet ist. Hierdurch wird eine besonders gute Kühlung der thermisch belasteten Seite 18 der Wand 16 erreicht. Fig. 9 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, wherein a plurality of cooling air channels 15 is provided. The central axes 24 of the cooling air channels 15 are as in Fig. 8 shown embodiment arranged at an acute angle 31 to the rib central axis 32. How out Fig. 9 it can be seen, is an orientation of the cooling air channels 15 such that they are parallel to a flow 33 on the thermally loaded side, which in Fig. 9 indicated by the dashed arrow (flow 33). As a result, a particularly good cooling of the thermally loaded side 18 of the wall 16 is achieved.

Die Fig. 10a bis 10f zeigen ein Beispiel einer Herstellung einer beispielhaften Wand eines Bauteils. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Bauteil eine Brennkammerwand. Das Verfahren ist ein additives Verfahren, wobei der Pfeil 34 eine Aufbaurichtung des additiven Verfahrens zeigt. Wie aus Fig. 10a ersichtlich ist, wird zuerst die Wand 16 additiv aufgebaut. In Fig. 10b ist gezeigt, wie die beginnenden Rippen 21' aufgebaut werden. Die Rippen 21 sind in Fig. 10c bis zum Anfang des Kühlluftkanals 15 aufgebaut, wobei in Fig. 10c dann schon der Beginn des Aufbaus des Kühlluftkanals 15 beginnt. Fig. 10d zeigt, dass mit weiterem Aufbau in Aufbaurichtung 34 die Kühlluftkanäle langsam entstehen, wobei die Kühlluftkanäle sich an der Rippe 21 abstützen. Die weitere Entstehung der Kühlluftkanäle ist aus Fig. 10e und 10f ersichtlich. Somit kann, wie aus den Fig. 10a bis 10f ersichtlich ist, in der Aufbaurichtung 34 eine vertikale Fertigung des Bauteils mittels eines additiven Verfahrens ermöglicht werden. Der Aufbau der Rippe 21 stützt den Kühlkanal 15 ab. In diesem Beispiel verläuft die rohrförmige Verlängerung 19 des Kühlluftkanals 15 geradlinig auf der Rippe 21. Wie in Fig. 3 sind in den Fig. 10a bis 10f beispielhaft zwei Ausführungsvarianten mit unterschiedlichen Querschnitten der Kühlluftkanäle dargestellt. Wenn sich die Mittelachse der Kühlluftkanäle 15 und die Rippenmittelachse 32 schneiden, wie in den Fig. 8 und 9 gezeigt, ist die Aufbaurichtung 34 parallel zur Rippenmittelachse 32. Dies ist schematisch in den Fig. 8 und 9 eingezeichnet.The 10a to 10f show an example of a production of an exemplary wall of a component. In this embodiment, the component is a combustion chamber wall. The method is an additive method, wherein the arrow 34 shows a construction direction of the additive method. How out Fig. 10a it can be seen, the wall 16 is first built up additive. In Fig. 10b it is shown how the starting ribs 21 'are built up. The ribs 21 are in Fig. 10c built up to the beginning of the cooling air duct 15, wherein in Fig. 10c then already the beginning of the construction of the cooling air duct 15 begins. Fig. 10d shows that with further structure in construction direction 34, the cooling air channels slowly arise, the cooling air channels are supported on the rib 21. The further emergence of the cooling air ducts is off 10e and 10f seen. Thus, as from the 10a to 10f it can be seen, in the mounting direction 34, a vertical production of the component are made possible by means of an additive method. The structure of the rib 21 supports the cooling channel 15. In this example, the tubular extension 19 of the cooling air channel 15 runs straight on the rib 21. Like in Fig. 3 are in the 10a to 10f exemplified two variants with different cross sections of the cooling air ducts shown. When the central axis of the cooling air passages 15 and the rib center axis 32 intersect, as in FIGS Fig. 8 and 9 is shown, the construction direction 34 is parallel to the rib central axis 32. This is schematically in the Fig. 8 and 9 located.
