    摘要: Flow restricting arrangements and rotor assemblies are provided. A flow restricting arrangement includes a stationary component and a rotating component. The rotating component is radially spaced apart from the stationary component such that a clearance is defined between the stationary component and the rotating component. A first magnet is embedded within the stationary component. A second magnet embedded within the rotating component. A plurality of magnetically responsive particles is contained within the clearance by a magnetic field produced by the first magnet and the second magnet. The plurality of magnetically responsive particles at least partially span the clearance.

    摘要: A clearance adjusting apparatus to move a thrust bearing of a gas turbine back and forth to adjust a tip clearance of a turbine is provided. The clearance adjusting apparatus includes an adjusting plate disposed to move forward from or rearward to a reference surface, a biasing cylinder disposed to selectively move the adjusting plate back and forth, a stopper disposed to be moved toward the adjusting plate after being moved forward to prevent a rearward movement of the adjusting plate, a position sensor disposed to measure a distance from the reference surface to the adjusting plate, and a controller configured to receive information about measurements from the position sensor and control an operation of the stopper and the biasing cylinder based on the received information.

    摘要: A clearance adjusting apparatus disposed in front of a compressor of a gas turbine to axially move a compressor disk back and forth to adjust a tip clearance formed between a compressor blade and a compressor casing is provided. The clearance adjusting apparatus includes a hollow fastening part disposed in front of the compressor casing, a shaft disposed in the fastening part and coupled to a front side of the compressor disk, an adjusting part disposed between the fastening part and the shaft to axially move the shaft back and forth to adjust the tip clearance, and a biasing part disposed on the fastening part to bias the adjusting part back and forth to adjust a position of the adjusting part and the shaft.

    摘要: A compressor case for a gas turbine engine includes an annular body that extends circumferentially around a center axis and extends axially along the center axis. A first bleed manifold is formed on an outer surface of the annular body and encloses a first plenum. A second bleed manifold is formed on the outer surface of the annular body and is axially aft of the first bleed manifold. The second bleed manifold encloses a second plenum. A bleed inlet extends through the annular body and into the first bleed manifold. Cooling passages are formed in the annular body, and each of the cooling passages extends from the first plenum to the second plenum and fluidically connects the first plenum to the second plenum.

    摘要: A turbomachine blade clearance system can include an actuator having an anchor portion for fixation to an interior surface of a turbomachine housing and an actuating portion for actuating movement relative to the anchor portion. A turbomachine blade seal can be operatively connected to the actuating portion of the actuator and configured to move relative to the turbomachine housing to adjust a distance from a turbomachine blade of a turbomachine to maintain a predetermined gap clearance between the blade seal and the blade.
