Abstract
A cooling passage of a component subjected to high thermal loading, which is formed as a cavity ( ), running in a longitudinal direction (L) and curved orthogonally to the longitudinal direction (L), between a first wall ( ) and a second wall ( ), which in each case are connected to one another in a laterally adjacent manner, which has ribs ( ), which are arranged on the first wall ( ) and the second wall ( ) such that they alternate in a longitudinal direction (L) and are staggered relative one another and, at least in sections, assume a non-orthogonal angle relative to a projected center axis ( ′), and through which a cooling fluid (K) can flow in a longitudinal direction (L), in which case, when the profile of the cavity ( ) is curved orthogonally to the longitudinal direction (L), the ribs ( ) are formed in such a way that, in each case locally with regard to the adjacent rib of the opposite wall, they maintain a distance (a) which is half a respective local rib spacing (p). It is thereby possible to even out the heat transfer at a curved passage profile.
