A cooled wall of a turbine component includes a first layer of channels for a coolant arranged along a side of the wall facing to a flow of hot gas, the first layer of channels having a serpentine shape, each channel of the first layer having an inlet and an outlet; a second layer of channels for the coolant disposed further from the flow of hot gas than the first layer, each channel of the second layer having an inlet and an outlet, the outlet of each of the channels of the first layer being in fluid communication with corresponding inlet of associated channel of the second layer creating a bend for changing a direction of the coolant leaving the channel of the first layer when entering the channel of the second layer.

A stator heat shield segment for a gas turbine includes an inner surface facing a hot gas main flow of the gas turbine; an outer surface opposite to the inner surface and at least partially exposed to cooling air; a first impingement cavity provided with a plurality of first impingement holes fluidly connected with the cooling air supplied outside the outer surface; a feeding cavity isolated from the cooling air supplied outside the outer surface and fluidly connected with first impingement cavity; and a second impingement cavity provided with a plurality of second impingement holes fluidly connected to the feeding cavity.

A stator heat shield for a gas turbine having a hot gas flow path, is disclosed. The stator heat shield includes a first surface configured to face the hot gas flow path of the gas turbine; a second surface opposite to the first surface; cooling channels for directing cooling fluid from the second surface towards the first surface; and cavities arranged at the first surface for receiving the cooling fluid from at least a part of the cooling channels; wherein at least a part of the cavities each have at least two corresponding cooling channels open thereto, the at least two corresponding cooling channels being inclined towards each other. In use, a vortex is created in the cavity.

A cooled wall segment in the hot gas path of a gas turbine. The wall segment includes a first surface, exposed to a medium of relatively high temperature, a second surface, exposed to a medium of relatively low temperature, and side surfaces connecting the first and second surface and defining a height of the wall segment. At least one cooling channel for a flow-through of a fluid cooling medium extends through the wall segment. Each cooling channel is provided with an inlet and an outlet for the cooling medium. The at least one cooling channel includes at least two heat transfer sections, a first heat transfer section extending essentially parallel to the first surface at a first distance from the first surface and a second heat transfer section extending essentially parallel to the first surface at a second distance, whereby the second distance is less than the first distance.
