Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to hollow elongated turbine engine components, such as transition ducts, having a cooling system. The component can have first and second ends, and can be defined by an outer peripheral wall. The cooling system extends longitudinally within the wall between the first and second ends. While configured to cool the entire component, the cooling system is particularly configured to reduce thermal gradients that can occur in regions proximate to the first and second ends of the component caused by higher loads in those regions. The cooling system can include at least one pair of cooling channels. Each channel pair includes a first channel and a second channel. The first and second channels can be arranged such that a coolant supplied to each channel can exchange heat with itself in at least the region substantially proximate to one of the ends.
