Abstract
A cooling assembly comprises a cooling cavity disposed inside of a turbine assembly. The cooling cavity is configured to direct cooling air inside a body of the turbine assembly. The cooling assembly comprises a cross-bank fluidly coupled with the cooling cavity and positioned to direct at least some of the cooling air out of the cooling cavity and outside of the body. The cross-bank comprises plural pins having first ends coupled with a first side interior surface of the body and opposite second ends coupled with a second side interior surface of the body. The cross-bank also includes a cross-bar connecting the pins. The cross-bar extends between the pins such that the cross-bar has a first end coupled with an exterior surface of a first pin of the pins and an opposite second end coupled with an exterior surface of a second pin of the pins.
