This paper presents experimental investigations of the effect of scheme exit height and double jet injection on the film cooling performance of a Micro-Tangential-Jet (MTJ) scheme. The investigations were conducted over a gas turbine vane pressure side using the transient Thermochromic Liquid Crystal technique. The suction side investigations are presented in Part II of the present paper. The MTJ scheme is a micro-shaped scheme designed so that the micro-sized secondary jet is supplied tangentially to the vane surface. The scheme combines the benefits of micro jets and tangential injection. In order to investigate the effect of scheme exit height, one row of the MTJ scheme with 1.0 hole diameter exit height and another row with 1.5 hole diameter exit height were investigated. Meanwhile, to investigate the effect of double injection, one row of the MTJ scheme in staggered arrangement with one row of fan-shaped scheme was investigated. The investigations were conducted at various blowing ratios, calculated based on the scheme exit area. The average density ratio, turbulence intensity and Reynolds number were 0.93, 8.5, and 1.4E+5, respectively. The investigations showed that the smaller the exit height, the better the film cooling performance. Meanwhile, double injecting the secondary stream from MTJ and shaped schemes did not result in significant film cooling enhancement due to the enhanced turbulence over the vane surface.
