    摘要: An epicyclic gear train, 22, includes a carrier, 26, that supports star gears, 32, that mesh with a sun gear, 30. A ring gear, 38, surrounds and meshes with the star gears, 32. Each of the star gears is supported on a respective journal bearing, 34. Each journal bearing includes an internal central cavity, 34a, and at least one passage, 37, that extends radially from the internal cavity to a peripheral journal surface of the respective journal bearing. The epicyclic gear train, 22, has a gear reduction ratio of greater than or equal to about 2.3.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine (20) includes a first tap (72) connected to a compressor section (24) to deliver air at a first pressure. A heat exchanger (78) is downstream of the first tap (72). A cooling air valve (106a, 106b) selectively blocks flow of cooling air across the heat exchanger (78). A cooling compressor (84) is downstream of the heat exchanger (78) and pressurizes the air from the first tap (72) to a greater second pressure. A shut off valve (82) selectively stops flow of the air between the heat exchanger (78) and the cooling compressor (84). A controller (104) controls the cooling air valve (106a, 106b), the shut off valve (82), and the cooling compressor (84) such that the flow of the air is stopped between the heat exchanger (78) and the cooling compressor (84) only after the controller (104) has stopped the cooling compressor (84). A monitoring system (112) communicates with the controller (112) and includes a pressure sensor (112a) and a temperature sensor (112b) downstream of the cooling compressor (84).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine (201) includes a plurality of rotating components housed within a compressor section and a turbine section. A first tap (156) is connected to the compressor section and configured to deliver air at a first pressure. A heat exchanger (158) is connected downstream of the first tap (156) and configured to deliver air to an aircraft fuselage (152). A cooling compressor (164) is connected downstream of the heat exchanger (158). A high pressure feed (200) is configured to deliver air at a second pressure which is higher than the first pressure. The cooling compressor (164) is configured to deliver air to at least one of the plurality of rotating components. A valve assembly (202) can select whether air from the first tap (156) or air from the high pressure feed (200) is delivered to the aircraft fuselage (152).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes a fan section, a turbine section, a compressor section, and an engine bleed system (100). The compressor section includes a low compressor stage proximate to the fan section, a high compressor stage axially downstream from the low compressor stage and proximate to the turbine section, and a mid-compressor stage including variable vane assemblies distributed axially between the low and high compressor stage. The engine bleed system includes engine bleed taps (152A-152D) with a mid-compressor bleed tap (152B) axially between two of the variable vane assemblies, at least one low stage bleed tap (152A) axially upstream from the mid-compressor bleed tap, and at least one high stage bleed tap (152C, 152D) axially downstream from the mid-compressor bleed tap. An external manifold (154) is in pneumatic communication with the mid-compressor bleed tap. A valve system (150) can select one engine bleed tap as a bleed air source for an aircraft use (164).
