Abstract:
A blade tip clearance control system for an engine case of a gas turbine engine according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes an air seal segment within the engine case. A drive link extends through the engine case, the drive link mounted to the air seal segment.
Abstract:
An example method of cooling a compressor section of a gas turbine engine includes diverting a flow from a compressor through a heat exchanger, the flow moving from the compressor in a first direction, and moving the flow from the heat exchanger back to the compressor in a second direction. An example spacer for a compressor of a gas turbine engine includes a first side portion, a second side portion spaced apart from the first side portion, and a middle web arranged between the first and second side portions. At least one of the first and second side portions and the middle web include at least one orifice to communicate flow in a direction that is different from a core flowpath flow direction. An example compressor including the spacer is also disclosed.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a high pressure compressor may comprise a thermal shield. The thermal shield may be installed between a first rotor and a second rotor. The thermal shield may also be installed radially inward of a stator. The stator may be a shrouded stator. Moreover, the thermal shield may be configured to thermally isolate and/or reduce the thermal load associated with windage on a rotor hub.
