Abstract
A gas turbine blade includes a blade root and a blade aerofoil, a cooling fluid plenum extending inside the gas turbine blade through the blade root, the blade aerofoil and the blade tip, a blade root impingement plate in the cooling fluid plenum inside the blade root and a blade tip impingement plate in the cooling fluid plenum inside the blade tip, the blade tip impingement plate having at least one cooling fluid hole configured and arranged to enable a cooling fluid to flow from the blade tip into the blade aerofoil via the cooling fluid hole or holes, and a pipe extending in the cooling fluid plenum from the blade root impingement plate to the blade tip impingement plate. The blade root impingement plate can direct the cooling fluid from the blade root to the pipe.
