ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a system for cooling turbine rotor disk posts in a gas turbine engine with a preferred embodiment illustrating an application for a high pressure turbine stage 1 rotor disk. The disk includes a plurality of circumferentially alternating posts and slots disposed about the periphery of the disk with each slot receiving a dovetail of a radially extending blade. The cooling system comprises a plurality of seal bodies with each seal body including a relatively low volume thermal isolation chamber positioned over the top of a corresponding disk post; a plurality of axially extending blade cooling plenums supplied with cooling air with one of the plenums positioned radially inward of each of the blades; a plurality of shallow, radially extending slots formed in a relatively low stressed axially facing surface of each of the blade dovetails for diverting cooling air from the blade cooling plenums to the thermal isolation chambers. Cooling air flows from the blade cooling plenums through the slots into a radially extending plenum which supplies at least one hole in each seal body. The holes are in flow communication with the thermal isolation chambers and are oriented to cause the cooling air to impinge directly on the outer surface of each of the disk posts.
