HIGH PRESSURE TURBINE BLADE COOLING HOLE DISTRIBUTION
First Claim
1. A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine comprising an airfoil portion defined by a perimeter wall surrounding at least one enclosure, the perimeter wall having a plurality of cooling holes defined therethrough and providing fluid communication between the at least one enclosure and a gaspath of the gas turbine engine, the plurality of cooling holes including at least one set of holes selected from the group consisting of a first set, a second set, a third set, a fourth set, a fifth set and a sixth set, wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth sets of holes respectively include the holes numbered A1 to A8, B1 to B10, C1 to C9, D1 to D6, E1 to E7 and F1 to F6 each located such that a central axis of the hole extends through the respective point 1 and point 2 having a nominal location in accordance with the X, Y, Z Cartesian coordinate values set forth in Table 3, wherein the point of origin of the X, Y, Z Cartesian system is located at an intersection of a centerline of the gas turbine engine and a stacking line of the turbine blade, the X axis being angled with respect to a turbine rotor centerline by an angle corresponding to a restagger of the blade with a positive direction thereof being oriented towards aft of the engine and the Z axis extending generally radially along the stacking line with a positive direction thereof being oriented toward a tip of the blade.
