Abstract:
A disk-seal arrangement for a gas turbine engine rotor includes a blade retention disk having a longitudinally opening slot therein and a seal disk juxtaposed to said blade retention disk and a single anti-rotation tab received within the blade retention disk slot. The seal disk also includes a pair of balance slots disposed immediately adjacent the antirotation tab to offset the weight thereof for preserving rotor balance. A split ring is disposed longitudinally between the blade retention and seal disks for reacting longitudinal loading therebetween. The ends of the split ring seat against side surfaces of the antirotation between the split ring and the blade retention and seal disks.
Abstract:
A turbine section for a gas turbine engine includes a first rotor assembly with a first rotor assembly bleed air source and an aft cavity that is in fluid communication with the first rotor assembly bleed air source. A second rotor assembly includes a forward cavity. A vane bleed air source is in fluid communication with the forward cavity. A seal extends between the first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly.

Abstract:
A cooling system for providing a buffer cooled cooling air to a turbine section of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The cooling system may comprise a first conduit configured to transmit a cooling air toward the turbine section, a heat exchanger configured to cool a bleed airflow diverted from the first conduit to provide a buffer air, and a bypass conduit configured to direct at least a portion of the buffer air through at least one passageway that bypasses a bearing compartment of the gas turbine engine. The cooling system may further comprise a manifold configured to allow the cooling air exiting the first conduit and the buffer air exiting the bypass conduit to mix and provide the buffer cooled cooling air, and a nozzle assembly configured to deliver the buffer cooled cooling air to the turbine section.
