    摘要: A cooling system for a component of a gas turbine engine includes a first airflow passage configured to direct a first airflow to a mixing chamber and a second airflow passage to configured direct a second airflow to the mixing chamber, the second airflow having a higher temperature than the first airflow, and a cooling airflow passage to direct a cooling airflow from the mixing chamber to the component, the cooling airflow comprising the first airflow and the second airflow. The airflow passages are configured and sized to allow an amount of cooling airflow for unrestricted engine operation. When the first airflow passage is disabled, the second airflow passage and cooling airflow passage are configured and sized to allow an amount of cooling airflow which is adequate to permit continued safe engine operation restricted to within only a portion of its normal parameters and operating envelope.

    摘要: A bleed air cooling system for a gas turbine engine includes one or more bleed ports located at one or more axial locations of the gas turbine engine to divert a bleed airflow from a gas turbine engine flowpath, a bleed outlet located at a cooling location of the gas turbine engine and a bleed duct in fluid communication with the bleed port and the configured to convey the bleed airflow from the bleed port to the bleed outlet. One or more safety sensors are configured to sense operational characteristics of the gas turbine engine, and a controller is operably connected to the one or more safety sensors and configured to evaluate the sensed operational characteristics for anomalies in operation of the bleed air cooling system.

    摘要: A bleed air cooling system for a gas turbine engine includes one or more bleed flowpaths operably connected to a bleed outlet to divert a bleed airflow from a gas turbine engine flowpath. Each bleed flowpath includes two or more bleed ports to divert a bleed airflow from a gas turbine engine flowpath, and a bleed duct in fluid communication with the bleed ports and configured to convey the bleed airflow from the two or more bleed ports to the bleed outlet. A valve is located at each bleed port of and is configured to move between an opened position and a closed position, and one or more sensors are located along the bleed flowpath to sense one or more conditions of the bleed air cooling system. The valve at a particular bleed port is moved to the opened position based on the sensed one or more conditions.

    摘要: An airfoil may comprise a root and an airfoil body radially outward of the root. The airfoil body may define a first cooling chamber and a second cooling chamber. A first passage may be defined within the root and configured to direct a first airflow radially outward through the root into the first cooling chamber. A second passage may be defined within the root and configured to direct a second airflow radially outward through the root and into the second cooling chamber. A tangential onboard injector (TOBI) may be disposed in the first airflow path. A radial onboard injector (ROBI) may be disposed in the second airflow path.
