Waffled impingement effusion method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for a component comprising:
- a waffled impingement plate having at least one baffle cell, said baffle cell having a top portion and at least three side portions in contact with said top portion such that a cell cavity is formed; and
at least one impingement hole positioned in said waffled impingement plate, said impingement hole capable of providing a cooling flow to a cold backside surface of said component.

Abstract
A combined impingement effusion method comprises brazing or welding a waffled impingement plate to the cold back-side surface of component having effusion holes there through. The impingement plate comprises a plurality of small baffle cells to relieve the thermal stresses between the impingement plate and the component. By rigidly attaching the impingement plate, the cooling flow leakage associated with the seals of floating plates is avoided.

31. An apparatus for a combustor liner comprising:
a waffled impingement plate having a plurality of baffle cells, at least one baffle cell having a top portion and six side portions connected to said top portion, said top portion having an area of less than about 9.0 inch2 and a plurality of impingement holes there through, each side portion having an outer end capable of being attached to a cold backside surface of said combustor liner.
-
32. A method of cooling a component comprising the step of:
passing a cooling flow through at least one impingement hole of a waffled impingement plate, said waffled impingement plate attached to a cold backside surface of said component and comprising at least one baffle cell having a cell cavity, said step of passing such that said cooling flow enters said cell cavity, impinges on said cold backside surface and enters an effusion hole of said component. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36)
