Abstract: Controlling BOAS-to-blade-tip clearances by measuring a blade clearance between a first primary BOAS and a blade with a distance measurement device attached to the first primary BOAS, determining if the measured blade clearance of the first primary BOAS is at a value corresponding to a first predetermined blade clearance, measuring a blade clearance of a first secondary BOAS that is circumferentially adjacent the first primary BOAS based on a position of the first primary BOAS when the blade clearance of the first primary BOAS is at the first predetermined blade clearance, determining if the measured blade clearance of the first secondary BOAS is at a value corresponding to the first predetermined blade clearance, and adjusting the position of the first secondary BOAS when the blade clearance of the first secondary BOAS is not at the first predetermined blade clearance with an actuator operably connected to the first secondary BOAS.

Abstract: A strut assembly for a bearing compartment of a gas turbine engine includes an inner case, an outer case, and a first plurality of struts. The inner case is disposed within the bearing compartment and includes a first axis. The outer case defines an exterior of the bearing compartment and includes a second axis disposed co-axially with the first axis. The inner and outer cases define a flowpath between the inner and outer cases. Each strut of the first plurality of struts extends between and is connected to the inner and outer cases. The first plurality of struts is configured to maintain concentric positioning between the inner and outer cases and to allow relative changes in size between the inner and outer cases without deforming the inner case.

Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a turbomachine cooling system includes a first low pressure port disposed in a low pressure portion of a turbomachine and a first high pressure port disposed in a high pressure portion of the turbomachine and in selective fluid communication with the first low pressure port via a cooling channel. The high pressure portion of the turbomachine is configured for a higher compression than the low pressure portion of the turbomachine where the first low pressure port is disposed. The cooling system can include a heat exchanger system disposed in the cooling channel such that a flow traveling from the first high pressure port to the first low pressure port is cooled by the heat exchanger system before traveling through the first low pressure port into the low pressure portion of the turbomachine.

Abstract: A system and method for detection of coking in a fuel. The system including a fuel system for delivery of fuel, a fuel contamination sensor having a contamination detection sensor with input and output transducers immersed in the fuel, a controller in operable communication with the fuel contamination sensor, the controller configured to execute a method for detection of coking in fuel. The method including generating an excitation signal for the contamination detection sensor, receiving at a controller operably connected to the contamination detection sensor, a sensor output signal from the output transducer, comparing the sensor output signal with the excitation signal, diagnosing a condition of the fuel based on a the comparing, and indicating a condition of coking based on the diagnosing. The system also includes an enunciator to indicate the detection of coking in the fuel.

Abstract: A thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes a heat exchanger including a first coolant passage for a first coolant medium and a second coolant passage for a second coolant medium that is different than the first coolant medium. A first hot flow passage is in thermal communication with the first coolant passage. A second hot flow passage is in thermal communication with the second coolant passage all within a common housing. A first valve controls a flow of a hot medium into at least one of the first hot flow passage or the second hot flow passage. A controller configured to operate the first valve to direct the flow of hot medium into one of the first hot flow passage and the second hot flow passage for transferring thermal energy from the flow of hot medium into one of the first coolant medium and the second coolant medium.
