A rotor disc for a gas turbine engine includes an annular disc body configured to support a circumferential array of blades and having a plurality of passages defined therethrough. The passages form coils within the disc body and/or have a packing density of at least 0.1 in cross-sectional plane containing the central axis, the packing density being defined by a ratio between an open area of the passages and a solid area of the disc in the cross-sectional plane. A method of manufacturing a rotor disc is also discussed.

A rotating machine includes a hub portion, wherein the hub portion comprises a forward face and an aft face. The rotating machine further includes a cooling channel formed on either the forward face or the aft face and configured to direct cooling air to a location on the rotating machine, wherein the cooling channel extends from a radially inner location along said face to a radially outer location along said face, and wherein the cooling channel is configured as a recess formed into an outer surface of said face.

A turbocharger (10) includes a shaft (26) rotatably supported within a bearing housing (28), a turbine wheel (22) connected to the shaft (26), and a heat shield (150, 250) disposed between the turbine wheel (22) and the bearing housing (28). The heat shield (150, 250) includes surface features (80, 180) formed on at least one of a sidewall (57) portion thereof and a flange (63) portion thereof that locate the heat shield (150, 250) relative to the bearing housing (28) such that the heat shield (150, 250) is coaxial with the rotational axis of the shaft (26).

An inner combustion chamber casing of a turbomachine, which is intended to be placed downstream of a centrifugal compressor, is provided. The casing has the shape of a disc, pierced by a central circle, and includes on its disc at least one guide vane of the drawn-off air. The guide vane extends longitudinally over the disc between the periphery of the disc and the central circle and spreads out axially from the disc so as to form with the downstream face of the centrifugal compressor a guide channel for the air which is drawn off upon exit from the said compressor. The guide vane has a curved shape orienting in a radial direction at the level of its most central end.

摘要:
There has been invented a turbine engine with a single rotor which cools the engine, functions as a radial compressor, pushes air through the engine to the ignition point, and acts as an axial turbine for powering the compressor. The invention engine is designed to use a simple scheme of conventional passage shapes to provide both a radial and axial flow pattern through the single rotor, thereby allowing the radial intake air flow to cool the turbine blades and turbine exhaust gases in an axial flow to be used for energy transfer. In an alternative embodiment, an electric generator is incorporated in the engine to specifically adapt the invention for power generation. Magnets are embedded in the exhaust face of the single rotor proximate to a ring of stationary magnetic cores with windings to provide for the generation of electricity. In this alternative embodiment, the turbine is a radial inflow turbine rather than an axial turbine as used in the first embodiment. Radial inflow passages of conventional design are interleaved with radial compressor passages to allow the intake air to cool the turbine blades.
摘要:
A radial flow turbine has a rotor with an internal cavity that includes a vaporization section and a condensation section. The condensation section is disposed radially inward toward the shaft and the vaporization section extends radially outward adjacent to the surface of the rotor blade. The vaporization section includes a series of pockets for dispersing the cooling fluid within each blade, and a cascaded series of capture protrusions to distribute the liquid coolant to the successive radially-arrayed pockets. A working system includes a centrifugal compressor which feeds a compressed air fuel mixture to an annular combustion chamber that, in turn, feeds the combustion gases along a radial direction to impinge on the surface of the cooled radial flow rotor. Optionally, the system is a regenerative system including a heat exchange sub-assembly which couples heat from the exhaust stream to a position between the compressor and combustion chamber.
