Double impingement slot cap assembly

Last updated:

Abstract:

An assembly comprises a cooling chamber disposed inside an airfoil of a turbine assembly. The cooling chamber directs cooling air inside the airfoil. The assembly comprises an impingement hole fluidly coupled with the cooling chamber. The impingement hole directs at least some of the cooling air out of the cooling chamber. A double impingement slot cap assembly forms a cover over the impingement hole. The double impingement slot cap assembly directs the cooling air exiting the cooling chamber in the airfoil through the impingement hole along one or more outer surfaces of the airfoil.
