ABSTRACT:
A deflector for redirecting cooling air leakage to improve the efficiency of a gas turbine engine rotors. Adjacent rotor blades have a radially extending gap between each adjacent rotor blade and cooling air leaks into the gaps resulting in engine inefficiency. A deflector, disposed circumferentially on a forward face of the coverplate, deflects cooling air leakage, flowing from the running seal through the cooling air leakage path, away from the gaps between the blades, onto the outward surface of the blade platform, and into the gaspath at an acute angle relative to rearwardly axial flow. A forwardly extending flange deflects cooling air leakage forwardly around the blade platform lip.
