Claims25
A component, comprising:
- a body portion;
- and
- a cooling scheme disposed inside said body portion, said cooling scheme including:
- a vascular engineered lattice structure including a lattice cavity defined between internal surfaces of said body portion and external surfaces of said vascular engineered lattice structure, said vascular engineered lattice structure defined by a plurality of nodes and a plurality of branches each extending from at least one of said plurality of nodes, with at least some of said plurality of branches and at least some of said plurality of nodes being spaced apart from said internal surfaces defining said lattice cavity;
- and
- a heat transfer device adjacent to said vascular engineered lattice structure, said heat transfer device defined along said internal surfaces.

A component, comprising:
- a wall;
- a cooling scheme formed inside said wall, said cooling scheme including a vascular engineered lattice structure and a first heat transfer device different from said vascular engineered lattice structure;
- wherein vascular engineered lattice structure includes a lattice cavity defined between internal surfaces of said wall and external surfaces of said vascular engineered lattice structure, said vascular engineered lattice structure defined by a plurality of nodes and a plurality of branches each extending from at least one of said plurality of nodes, with at least some of said plurality of branches and at least some of said plurality of nodes being spaced apart from said internal surfaces defining said lattice cavity;
- and
- wherein first heat transfer device is defined along said internal surfaces of said wall.
