    摘要: A turbine nozzle for an aircraft turbine engine, the nozzle including at least one vane and a base having a platform. The nozzle is fitted with a passive system for reintroducing blow-by gas into the primary jet, the passive system including gas extraction ports on the base as well as gas reinjection ports on the radially outer surface of the platform and/or on a suction-side surface of the vanes, the gas reinjection ports being designed to redirect the gas flow in a reinjection direction having a circumferential orientation.

    摘要: A supply system of a sealing system of a turbomachine, wherein the sealing system which are suppliable with a seal gas. The supply system comprises, for each sealing sub-system, four seal gas lines: a first seal gas supply line, via which process gas extracted from the turbomachine is suppliable as first seal gas to the respective sealing sub-system. A second seal gas supply line, via which second seal gas is suppliable to the respective sealing sub-system. A seal gas discharge line, via which the first seal gas and the second seal gas are dischargeable from the respective sealing sub-systems. A safety discharge line, which is closed during the normal operation and open in the event of a fault, to discharge at least one part of the first seal gas and of the second seal gas from the respective sealing sub-system via the same in the event of a fault.

    摘要: Flow path assemblies for gas turbine engines are provided. For example, a flow path assembly comprises an inner wall defining an inner boundary of a flow path and a plurality of pockets therein, and a unitary outer wall defining an outer boundary of the flow path. The unitary outer wall includes combustor and turbine portions that are integrally formed as a single unitary structure. The flow path assembly further comprises a plurality of nozzle airfoils that each have an inner end radially opposite an outer end and define an internal cavity for receipt of a flow of cooling fluid. The inner end of each nozzle airfoil is received in one of the plurality of inner wall pockets and defines an outlet for the flow of cooling fluid to flow from the internal cavity to the pocket, which forms a fluid curtain to discourage fluid leakage from the flow path.

    摘要: A steam turbine includes: a rotor; a casing; a thrust bearing; a steam inlet; a first pipe; a first regulation valve; a second pipe; a second regulation valve; and a control device. The control device estimates an exhaust flow rate of the steam turbine based on an operating point map which derives the exhaust flow rate of the steam turbine from an operating point of the steam turbine and estimates the thrust force applied to the thrust bearing based on the exhaust flow rate.

    摘要: An intershaft seal assembly for maintaining separation between a piston ring and a pair of mating rings is presented. The assembly includes a piston ring interposed between forward and aft mating rings and a plurality of hydrodynamic grooves disposed along a sealing face of each mating ring. Each hydrodynamic groove further includes at least two adjoining steps wherein each step is defined by a base wall arranged to decrease depthwise in the direction opposite to rotation of an inner shaft. Two adjoining base walls define a base shoulder which locally redirects potion of a longitudinal flow within the groove to form an outward flow in the direction of the piston ring. Base walls are bounded by and intersect a pair of side walls with at least one side shoulder thereon which narrows the groove widthwise and locally redirects portion of the longitudinal flow to form a lateral flow from one side wall toward another side wall. Outward and lateral flows cooperate, with or without the longitudinal flow, to increase fluid pressure and maintain separation between the piston ring and the mating rings.

    摘要: A method for reducing the leakage of an organic working fluid operating within a turbine (10) of an Organic Rankine Cycle system, the method comprising the injection of a fluid flow rate (Q) into a volume (I) at a static pressure lower than the total pressure (P1) upstream of the turbine and located near of at least one labyrinth seal (L1, L11) of at least one stage of the turbine (10), said fluid flow rate (Q) having an initial exergetic content lower than the initial exergetic content of the organic working fluid located inside the turbine and flowing through said labyrinth seal (L1, L11).
