ABSTRACT:
A blade outer air seal in a gas turbine engine, the BOAS includes a plurality of ring segments secured to a blade ring carrier. An impingement ring forms a pressure vessel within the blade ring carrier and includes a first group of impingement holes positioned over the middle of the blade tip. The ring segments each include a plurality of stiffener ribs forming a plurality of leading edge pockets, trailing edge pocket and middle pockets each with pin fins to enhance the heat transfer effect. A metering plate is secured over the stiffener ribs to form closed pockets over the edge pockets while leaving the middle pockets open. A second group of impingement holes are formed in the metering plate over the edge pockets. Pressurized cooling air supplied to the pressure vessel first passes through the first group of impingement holes and is discharged directly over the middle pockets. The cooling air then flows through the second group of impingement holes and into the closed edge pockets, and then out discharge holes arranged along the leading and trailing edges of the ring segment. The individual pockets can have the impingement holes of varying sizes in order to regulate the amount of cooling air that flows into the specific pocket.
