    摘要: An apparatus for sealing a circumferential gap between a stationary component and a rotating member is disclosed. The rotating member is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis and has a radially outer surface disposed at a first non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The apparatus includes a stator disposed circumferentially about the longitudinal axis and a shoe configured for translation in a radial direction with respect to the stator. The shoe includes a circumferential surface and a plurality of protrusions extending radially inward from the circumferential surface toward the rotating member, each one of the plurality of protrusions having a length configured to maintain a clearance gap with respect to the rotating member.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a turbine and a turbine cooling arrangement. The turbine includes a turbine rotor surrounded by a static rotor track liner, and a nozzle guide vane downstream of the rotor in a core main gas flow path. The cooling arrangement includes a first air duct that provides cooling airflow to a rotor track liner cooling plenum and a second air duct that provides a cooling airflow to the nozzle guide vane. A common manifold is upstream in the cooling airflow of the ducts and provides cooling air to the ducts. A two-way valve modulates air provided to the ducts from the manifold. The valve is operates in a first or second mode. In the first mode, air flow to the first duct is relatively high and airflow to the second duct is relatively low compared to where the valve is operated in the second mode.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine that includes a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket and a first resilient mount attaching the second mounting bracket to the first mounting bracket. The first resilient mount includes a first isolator support, a second isolator support, a first isolator, a second isolator and a fastener. The first isolator support and the second isolator support are arranged on opposing sides of the second mounting bracket. The first isolator support is between the second mounting bracket and the first isolator. The second isolator support is between the second mounting bracket and the second isolator. The first isolator is between the first isolator support and the first mounting bracket. The fastener projects through the first mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket, the first isolator support, the second isolator support, the first isolator and the second isolator.

    摘要: A method of calibrating a rotor tip clearance arrangement that includes measuring a rotor parameter indicative of rotor efficiency and altering a position of a tip clearance control actuator by an increment to reduce the rotor tip clearance. The method further includes iterating the measuring and altering, and calculating a rate of change of the rotor parameter between pairs of iterations. The method further includes identifying a knee point where the rate of change of the rotor parameter changes and record the corresponding tip clearance control actuator position as a calibrated position. Also included is a rotor tip clearance arrangement calibrated by the method and a method of monitoring deterioration of a rotor tip clearance arrangement.
