Abstract

The application discloses a curved surface double-layer wall double-cyclone cooling structure of a high-temperature turbine blade leading edge, which comprises an inlet nozzle, an outer cooling chamber, a U-shaped connecting pipeline, an inner cooling chamber and an outlet. A cooling medium is tangentially injected into the outer cooling chamber through the nozzle, forms a tangential outer cyclone flow along the wall surface to perform primary cooling, then the cooling gas is tangentially injected into the inner cooling chamber through the U-shaped connecting pipeline, forms a large-scale inner cyclone flow to perform secondary cooling, and the cooled medium flows out from the outlet arranged in the inner cooling chamber. The application applies the double-layer wall cooling structure to the high-temperature turbine blade leading edge, fully utilizes the space structure of the leading edge, generates the inner and outer layer two kinds of cyclone flows, has the advantages of high double-layer wall cooling and heat exchange intensity, flexible arrangement, uniform cyclone cooling and heat exchange distribution and high heat exchange intensity, and greatly improves the cooling performance of the turbine blade leading edge of the gas turbine and the aero-engine turbine.
