Abstract:
A tail bearing housing of a turbomachine comprises an inner casing and an outer casing concentrically arranged along a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of vanes having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first wall extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and a second wall extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge, the first wall and the second wall defining an aerofoil, the vanes being connected at a first end to the outer casing and at a second end to the inner casing. At least one vane of the plurality of vanes is a vent vane comprising a first aperture arranged in the first end and a second aperture arranged in the aerofoil, the second aperture being configured to be in fluid communication with the first aperture through an inner cavity to vent bleed air.
