Patent attributes
A turbine assembly is provided having a hollow aerofoil having a cavity with an impingement tube insertable inside the cavity and used for impingement cooling of an inner surface of the cavity, and a platform arranged at a radial end of the hollow aerofoil, and a cooling chamber used for cooling of the platform which is arranged relative to the hollow aerofoil on an opposed side of the platform. The cooling chamber is limited at a first radial end from the platform and at an opposed radial second end from a cover plate. The impingement tube is formed from a leading piece and a trailing piece. The leading piece extends in span wise direction at least completely through the cooling chamber from the platform to the cover plate and the trailing piece terminates in span wise direction at the platform.
