摘要:
An attachment system for attaching at least one exhaust diffuser downstream from a turbine assembly in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The attachment system may include at least one attachment flange extending from a downstream edge and attached to a spring plate diffuser support structure and at least one attachment flange extending from side edges of the exhaust diffuser to couple sections of the exhaust diffuser together. The diffuser may also include a thermal barrier/cooling system for controlling a temperature of an outer case of the gas turbine engine. The thermal barrier/cooling system may form a flow path for an ambient air flow cooling.
摘要:
A gas turbine engine including an outer case extending circumferentially around the central longitudinal axis. A cooling channel is associated with the outer surface of the outer case, the cooling channel having a channel inlet and a channel outlet. An air duct is provided including an inlet end in fluid communication with the channel outlet and an outlet end in fluid communication with an exhaust gas flow from a turbine section of the gas turbine engine. An exit structure is located at the air duct outlet end, and the exit structure provides a sub-ambient pressure at the air duct outlet end to induce a flow from the air duct inlet end to the air duct outlet end.

摘要:
A gas turbine engine including an outer case and an exhaust gas passage defined within the outer case for conducting an exhaust gas flow from a turbine section of the gas turbine engine. A cooling channel is associated with an outer surface of the outer case, the cooling channel having a channel inlet and a channel outlet. An air duct structure is provided and includes an inlet end in fluid communication with the channel outlet and includes an outlet end in fluid communication with an area of reduced pressure relative to the air duct structure inlet end. An exit cavity is located at the air duct structure outlet end, wherein the exit cavity effects a reduced pressure at the outlet end to draw air from the cooling channel into the air duct.

摘要:
Hollow inlet guide vanes in the air intake of a gas turbine engine are supplied with pressurized bleed air. The interior of the vanes are provided with orifices through which the bleed air must flow, and those orifices are tuned to a desired frequency which sets up vane vibrations. This arrangement provides deicing by both the supply of heated bleed air which impinges on the selected areas of the vanes and by the vibrations which are set up in the vanes, and it does so simply with the use of the bleed air.
