摘要： A tortuous path quiet exhaust eductor system may be mounted to a gas turbine engine, such as commercial aircraft APU. The system includes an oil cooler, eductor primary nozzle, oil cooler air nozzle, and surge air dump nozzle. The primary nozzle, oil cooler air nozzle, and surge air dump nozzle direct exhaust flow to entrain APU compartment cooling air, oil cooling air and surge air in a direction having both radial and axial components with respect to the APU centerline axis. The exhaust flow is directed into an eductor mixing duct angled away from the centerline axis and then is turned to enter an exit duct angled toward the centerline axis so that direct line of sight acoustic paths from the tail pipe exit to the turbine exit are blocked, suppressing core noise. The tail pipe ducts may be acoustically treated, further enhancing noise suppression.

摘要： A method and apparatus for cooling the heat generated by a gas turbine engine mounted in a compartment is provided. The apparatus comprises a novel eductor that incorporates a mixer nozzle to entrain sufficient air flow through the compartment to provide all the necessary cooling. The engine's oil cooler is mounted to the eductor so that the entrained air flow passes through it and cools the engine's oil. The novel eductor also has means for receiving a flow of high velocity air from the engine and injecting this air downstream of the mixer nozzle to enhance the entraining of the cooling flow.

摘要： An inlet door assembly for reducing air pressure loss and enhancing performance of an auxiliary power unit (APU) contained within an aircraft housing is provided. The inlet door assembly includes a duct and a diffuser. The duct, which is configured to be movably coupled to an aircraft and to move between open and closed positions, has a flow passage extending therethrough. Air external to the aircraft flows through the duct while it is in the open position, but not while it is in the closed position. The diffuser is coupled to the duct and configured to move therewith. The diffuser has a passage extending therethrough that is in fluid communication with the duct flow passage, and is configured to diffuse the air that flows therethrough.

摘要： An auxiliary power unit (APU) compartment air inlet system seals, via one or more inlet doors driven by a single actuator, an APU compartment, and isolates the APU inlet and cooling system inlets from each other. The system includes either one or two inlet doors, depending on the number of ram air inlets formed in the APU compartment. In either instance, however, a single actuator is used to move the inlet door(s) between open and closed positions.
