Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes spaced apart walls that extend in a load direction and provide a cooling passage. The cooling passage provides a tortuous passage having a generally straight portion that extends in the load direction and a bend transverse to the load direction. Elongated turbulators protrude from at least one of the walls and extend substantially in the load direction. The elongated turbulators are substantially within the generally straight portion.
Abstract:
A casting core may include a core body and a tip comb extending from a tip region of the core body. The tip comb may be integrally formed with the core body. The tip comb may comprise a first casting pedestal and a second casting pedestal. The first casting pedestal and the second casting pedestal may define an aperture having a tapered geometry.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine includes a body portion that extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the component. The trailing edge includes a flared region and a non-flared region. At least one discharge slot is disposed at least partially within the flared region of the component.
Abstract:
A blade for a gas turbine engine. The blade having: a root; a platform located between the root and the blade, wherein the platform defines a cavity; a damper seal received in the cavity, the damper seal having a main body portion that extends along a major axis of the damper seal between a first end portion and an opposing second end portion of the damper seal, the first end portion and the second end portion each extend towards the root when the damper seal is located in the cavity and wherein the damper seal has a variable thickness along at least a portion of a minor axis of the damper seal that extends between opposite peripheral edges of the main body portion.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a fir tree coupling for gas turbine engine parts comprising a load beam having a longitudinal axis, a base, a first side, and a second side, a rail extending from the base of the load beam between the first side and the second side, a tooth running parallel to the longitudinal axis disposed on the first side of the load beam. The rail may comprise at least one of, a convex sidewall having a convex curvature, a concave sidewall having a concave curvature, or a vertical sidewall extending perpendicular to the base. The rail may comprise a sidewall comprising a sidewall step wherein the sidewall has a step cut into a portion of the rail. The rail may comprise a tapered sidewall wherein the tapered sidewall extends at an angle to the base.
Abstract:
A blade for a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The blade having: a root; a platform located between the root and the blade, wherein the platform defines a cavity; a damper restraint located at a peripheral edge of the platform, wherein the damper restraint is a raised feature extending along at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the platform.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a fir tree coupling for gas turbine engine parts comprising a load beam having a longitudinal axis, a rounded base, a first side, and a second side, wherein the rounded base has a radius of curvature from the first side to the second side, a tooth running parallel to the longitudinal axis and disposed on the first side of the load beam. The fir tree coupling may comprise a channel through the rounded base across a portion of the radius of curvature from the first side to the second side. The channel may comprise a sidewall having a sidewall step cut into a portion of the channel sidewall.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component comprises a body extending between two ends and having at least two cooling passages. The body has a first wall and second wall. At least two cooling passages include a first passage that is closer to the first wall than is a second of the passages at upstream locations along a flow path. The second passage has upstream locations that are closer to the second wall than are upstream portions of the first passage. The first and second passages cross along a length of the flow path such that downstream portions of the second passage are closer to the first wall than are downstream portions of the first passage, and downstream portions of the first passage are closer to the second wall than are downstream portions of the second passage.
