Abstract:
A method for balancing a compressor rotor assembly including a forward weldment (211) and an aft weldment (212) includes pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) of the compressor rotor assembly (210) with compressor disks (220) prior to populating the compressor disks (220) with circumferentially installed compressor rotor blades (230). Pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) includes measuring a rotational balance of the aft weldment (212). Pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) also includes determining a number of underplatform weights (260) needed and a location for each underplatform weight (260) within a circumferential slot (236) of one the compressor disks (220). Pre-balancing the aft weldment (212) further includes mounting each underplatform weight (260) in the determined location.
Abstract:
An insert tube of a turbine vane is disclosed. The insert tube includes a pressure side wall, a suction side wall opposite and spaced apart from the pressure side wall, a leading edge, and a trailing edge opposite the leading edge. The insert tube includes a plurality of cooling channels spaced along the pressure side wall. The insert tube includes an indented portion located between the trailing edge and the pressure side wall.
Abstract:
A swirler inlet valve plate for a fuel injector of a gas turbine engine includes a blocker ring and a pivot sleeve mechanically connected to the blocker ring. The blocker ring is formed from at least a portion of a toroid shape. The blocker ring includes a blocking surface perpendicular to an axis of the blocker ring formed from at least a portion of an annulus. The blocker ring also includes a flow surface, an inner circumferential surface of the toroidal shape. The pivot sleeve includes a sleeve portion extending adjacent the blocker ring. The sleeve portion includes a rotation transmission mechanism.
Abstract:
A shield assembly for shielding a housing of an electro-mechanical device from a hot body includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed in a spaced apart relation from each other. A third sidewall extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall to define a space therebetween. The first, second, and third sidewalls are configured to receive the housing of the electro-mechanical device in the space defined therebetween. The shield assembly further includes a backing plate extending laterally from a bottom end of at least one of the first, second, and third sidewalls. The backing plate is releasably fastened with a bottom end of the housing. The shield assembly further includes a tab member extending away from a top end of at least one of the first, second, and third sidewalls. The tab member is releasably fastened with a bracket associated with the housing of the electro-mechanical device.
Abstract:
A damper for a turbine rotor assembly of a gas turbine engine may include a forward plate with a forward face and an aft face, and an aft plate with a forward face and an aft face. The aft face of the forward plate may be connected to the forward face of the aft plate with a longitudinal structure. An area of the aft plate in a plane transverse to the longitudinal structure may be greater than an area of the forward plate in the plane transverse to the longitudinal structure. The damper may also include a pocket on the forward face of the forward plate.
Abstract:
An inner bushing assembly (280) to provide a biasing force between a guide vane (260) and an inner ring half (261) of a gas turbine engine compressor (200) is disclosed.
