ABSTRACT:
Cooling air delivery systems for gas turbine engines are used to increase component life and increase power and efficiencies. The present system increases the component life and increases efficiencies by better utilizing the cooling air bled from the compressor section of the gas turbine engine. For example, a flow of cooling air is directed to a plurality of airfoils having a leading edge and includes a cooling path therein each of the plurality of blades in which is positioned a device which causes the cooling air to swirl and more effectively absorb heat and cool the leading edge of the airfoil.
