    摘要: A pattern of depressions (36) in a sealing surface (34) on a CMC wall (32) of gas turbine ring segment (30) allows minimum clearance against turbine blades tips, and thus maximizes working gas sealing. An array of depressions (36) on the surface (34) increases abradability of the surface (34) by blade tip contact during zero clearance conditions and reduces blade tip damage. The depressions (36) are unconnected, preventing bypass of the working gas around the blade tips. A desired abradable surface geometry may be formed in a stacked laminate wall construction (40-43, 52) by staggered laminate edge profiles (50, 52) or by machining of depressions (36, 54) after construction.

    摘要: A CMC airfoil (20) formed with CMC stitches (37) interconnected between opposed walls (26, 28) of the airfoil to restrain outward flexing of the walls resulting from pressurized cooling air within the airfoil. The airfoil may be formed of a ceramic fabric infused with a ceramic matrix and dried, and may be partially to fully cured. Then holes (32, 34) are formed in the opposed walls of the airfoil, and a ceramic stitching element such as ceramic fibers (36) or a ceramic tube (44) is threaded through the holes. The stitching element is infused with a wet ceramic matrix before or after threading, and is flared (38) or otherwise anchored to the walls (26, 28) to form a stitch (37) there between. The airfoil and stitch are then cured. If the airfoil is cured before stitching, a pre-tension is formed in the stitch due to relative curing shrinkage.

    摘要: A by-pass circuit for a battery system that disconnects parallel connected cells or modules from a battery circuit or controls the current through the parallel connected cells or modules. If a cell has failed or is potentially failing in the system, then the by-pass circuit can disconnect the cell or module from other cells or modules electrically coupled in parallel. If a cell or module has a lower capability than another cell or module, then the by-pass circuit can control the current to the cell or module to maximize the performance of the system and prevent the system from creating a walk-home condition.

    摘要: A multiple piece turbine airfoil having an outer shell with an airfoil tip that is attached to a root with an internal structural spar is disclosed. The root may be formed from first and second sections that include an internal cavity configured to receive and secure the one or more components forming the generally elongated airfoil. The internal structural spar may be attached to an airfoil tip and place the generally elongated airfoil in compression. The configuration enables each component to be formed from different materials to reduce the cost of the materials and to optimize the choice of material for each component.

    摘要: A ceramic ring segment for a turbine engine that may be used as a replacement for one or more metal components. The ceramic ring segment may be formed from a plurality of ceramic plates, such as ceramic matrix composite plates, that are joined together using a strengthening mechanism to reinforce the ceramic plates while permitting the resulting ceramic article to be used as a replacement for components for turbine systems that are typically metal, thereby taking advantage of the properties provided by ceramic materials. The strengthening mechanism may include a bolt or a plurality of bolts designed to prevent delamination of the ceramic plates when in use by keeping the ceramic plates in compression.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention relate to a ring seal for a turbine engine. The ring seal can be made up of a plurality of circumferentially abutted ring seal segments. Each ring seal segment can comprise a plurality of individual channels. The channels can be generally U-shaped in cross-section with a forward span, and aft span and an extension connecting therebetween. The channels can be positioned such that the aft span of one channel can substantially abut the forward span of another channel. The plurality of separate channels can be detachably coupled to each other by, for example, a plurality of pins. The ring seal segment according to aspects of the invention can facilitate numerous advantageous characteristics including greater material selection, selective cooling, improved serviceability, and reduced blade tip leakage. Moreover, the configuration is well suited to handle the operational loads of the turbine.

    摘要: A battery cell by-pass circuit that has particular application for by-passing cells in a high voltage battery for a vehicle. The battery includes a plurality of battery cells electrically coupled in series. The by-pass circuit includes a first switch electrically coupled in series with one or more of the battery cells, a by-pass line electrically coupled around the one or more battery cells and a second switch electrically coupled in the by-pass line and in parallel with the one or more battery cells. During normal cell operation, the first switch is closed and the second switch is open so that current flows through the one or more battery cells. If the one or more battery cells fail or are failing, the first switch is opened and the second switch is closed so that current by-passes the one or more cells and they are removed from the battery circuit.
