摘要:
A ram air fan assembly (10) includes a motor/bearing housing (30) that extends along a horizontal length of the ram air fan assembly (10). An inner housing assembly (32) is in fluid communication with the motor/bearing housing (30) to define a joint (65) The inner housing assembly (32) includes first and second ellipse-shaped slots (58, 58'). The first slot (58') is positioned at a first angle (θ 1 ) with respect to a radial axis of the inner housing assembly (32) that is perpendicular to the horizontal length, and the second slot (58) is positioned at a second angle (θ 2 ) with respect to the radial axis, the second angle (θ 2 ) being different from the first angle (θ 1 ), and each slot (58, 58') extending along a first direction parallel to the horizontal length to define an axial width (wA) and extending along a radial axis to define a radial width (wR) being greater than the axial width (wA).
摘要:
A compressor (16) for pressurizing a flow of air within an aircraft includes an inlet (26) providing the flow of air to the compressor (16). An outlet (28) provides the flow of air, after pressurization by the compressor (16), to a chamber of the aircraft. A diffuser assembly (30) is disposed between the inlet (26) and the outlet (28). The diffuser assembly (30) includes one or more vanes (38) at least partially impeding the flow of air through the diffuser assembly (30). A backing plate (32) is included having a surface (44) adjacent to the one or more vanes (38). The surface (44) includes a relief feature (46) that enables air to bypass the one or more vanes (38). The relief feature (46) has an axial depth (D2) of about 0.25% to 2.5% of a width (D5) of a flow path through the diffuser assembly (30) or of about 0.5% to 5% of a thickness (D4) of a flange (52) of the backing plate (32).
