An extended impingement cooling structure to cool outside an air supply
plenum comprises an inner wall; an impingement sheet; a series of
supports to maintain the inner wall in spaced relation to the impingement
sheet, and a baffle supported between the inner wall and the impingement
sheet. The baffle has a collector plenum area that receives impingement
cooling air from the air supply plenum and a channel in fluid
communication with the collector plenum and extending outside the air
supply plenum with openings to allow impingement cooling air to pass
therethrough and having a series of lands extending into the channel
wherein the lands are located in proximity to impingement cooling air
outlets in the inner wall.
