Abstract:
A gas turbine engine internal fuel manifold assembly including an annular fuel distribution member defining at least one fuel flow passage therein, and a plurality of fuel nozzles having spray tips mounted to the fuel distribution member. the spray tips are in fuel flow communication with the fuel flow passage, and each fuel nozzle has at least one core airflow passage extending through a center thereof between the spray tip and an air inlet defined in the fuel nozzle.
Abstract:
The positioning arrangement comprises at least one pair of complimentary rounded recesses, each recess being provided on the mating face of the corresponding component. One ball is positioned between each pair of complementary recesses.
Abstract:
An assembly for sealingly mounting a device in a hole in a pressure vessel casing, the assembly transferring a load produced by pressurized fluid to the casing and retaining the stem to the casing.
Abstract:
In the fuel nozzle, the fuel is circulated in a helical path around the interface of a stem of the fuel nozzle and a flange for increase the cooling.

Abstract:
A fuel air heat exchanger for a gas turbine engine having fuel and air conduits in heat exchange relationship with one another, and a distribution conduit in heat exchange relationship with a component to be cooled. The distribution conduit is in fluid communication with the outlet of each air conduit. The heat exchanger also includes a secondary air inlet in fluid communication with the distribution conduit and a flow selection member selectively movable between first and second configurations. In the first configuration, the flow selection member closes the fluid communication between the secondary inlet and the distribution conduit. In the second configuration, the flow selection member opens the fluid communication between the secondary air inlet and the distribution conduit.
Abstract:
A combustor swirler for a gas turbine engine and method of manufacturing by metal injection molding an inner component and an outer cylindrical component. Indentations are molded in one of the inner and outer components and sealed by the engagement of the components together to form a series of fluid flow passages. The inner and outer components are molded with interlocking features for ensuring proper alignment of the components during assembly.
Abstract:
A modular fuel nozzle air swirler for a gas turbine engine has a body defining a fuel passage extending between an inlet end and a discharge end of the body. An annular cap is removably secured to the discharge end of the body via cooperating interlocking members.
Abstract:
A multiple conduit system for a gas turbine engine, the multiple conduit system extending between a plurality of conduit inlet and outlets. A channel, adapted for conveying fuel flow, is formed in a surface of a gas turbine engine component. The channel includes at least a first discrete conduit and a second discrete conduit. The first and second discrete conduits are each adapted to direct an independent fluid flow from respective inlets to respective outlets.
Abstract:
An assembly that includes two components joined by a pre-compressed braze where the compression in the braze is progressively relieved upon relative thermal expansion of the two components. Also disclosed is a process for producing a pre-compressed braze.
