Zusammenfassung:The cooling insert for a movable vane in a jet engine is divided into plural overlapping forward and aft segregated members, each member being coolant fed through separate vane trunnion areas and each insert is of successively decreasing cross-sectional area. Problems of locally inadequate vane cooling, coolant match point movement, and unequal coolant supply pressures are addressed by the disclosed apparatus. Reuse of the trunnion supplied impingement cooling air for additional cooling functions is also disclosed.
