摘要： A gas turbine engine has an engine casing component, such as a mid turbine frame system, which may includes an outer case surrounding a spoke or strut casing. Load transfer spokes of the spoke casing extend between the outer case and an inner case of the spoke casing. A bearing housing supported by the engine casing may include a fuse arrangement for isolating bearing seizure loads from the engine casing. A seal arrangement may be provided to centralize the rotors after the fuse fails. The mid turbine frame may be provided to have a desired flexibility through the configuration of the casing and bearings in design.

摘要： A split ring seal assembly includes a metal seal ring having two ends defining a circumferential gap therebetween. At least a first spring element is mounted to the two ends to bias the two ends circumferentially towards each other to reduce the diameter of a circumferential inner sealing surface of the metal seal ring.

摘要： A turbine exhaust case for a turbofan engine comprises a plurality of arcuate acoustic panels assembled into a circumferentially extending inner shroud with circumferential gaps between adjacent acoustic panels. An outer shroud extends circumferentially about the inner shroud. The inner shroud and the outer shroud define an annular gaspath therebetween. A plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart exhaust struts extends radially across the annular gaspath and structurally connects the individual acoustic panels forming the inner shroud to the outer shroud.

摘要： An arrangement for sealing a turbine shroud gas path duct interface of a turbine engine comprises a static shroud surrounding a rotatable airfoil array and an annular duct downstream of the shroud with respect to a gas flow passing through the gas path. The shroud and the duct define a portion of the gas path for directing the gas flow, having an axially extending interface gap between the shroud and duct. An annular seal in use engages both the shroud and the duct, thereby sealing the annular gap.
