Turbocharged engine cylinder head internal cooling

An engine cylinder head has an exhaust manifold cast in the cylinder head. A turbocharger with a turbine body is adapted to mount directly to an exhaust outlet mounting face of the exhaust manifold. A dual level water jacket within the cylinder head has separate coolant feeds for upper and lower cooling jackets. The cooling jackets extend above and below the exhaust outlet and are connected inward of the exhaust mounting face to reduce metal temperatures of the mounting face below those of the turbocharger exhaust inlet flange. Separate cores for the upper and lower jackets are connected at coolant inlet and outlet locations at opposite ends. Intermediate core print connectors form controlled flow passages between the upper and lower jackets and exhaust ports in the cylinder head and integrated manifold. The improved cooling in these areas lowers operating temperatures in the cylinder head and obviates the need for a separate exhaust manifold.

Cooling and sealing design for a gas turbine combustion system

An interface region between a combustion liner and a transition duct of a gas turbine combustor is disclosed having improved cooling such that component life is increased and metal temperatures are lowered. An aft end of a combustion liner is telescopically received within the transition duct such that a combustion liner seal is in contact with an inner wall of the transition duct inlet ring. Increasing the dedicated cooling air supply to the combustion liner aft end, coupled with a modified combustion liner aft end geometry, significantly reduces turbulence and flow re-circulation, thereby resulting in lower metal temperatures and increased component life. Multiple embodiments of the interface region are disclosed depending on the amount of cooling required.
