摘要: A bowed rotor start mitigation system for a gas turbine engine of an aircraft is provided. The bowed rotor start mitigation system includes a motoring system and a controller coupled to the motoring system and an aircraft communication bus. The controller is configured to determine at least one inferred engine operating thermal parameter based on at least one aircraft-based parameter received on the aircraft communication bus, where the at least one inferred engine operating thermal parameter is based on data describing a history of the aircraft before an engine shutdown. The motoring system is controlled to drive rotation of a starting spool of the gas turbine engine below an engine idle speed based on determining that the at least one inferred engine operating thermal parameter is within a preselected range.

摘要: Embodiments of systems and methods for operating a gas turbine engine defining a bowed rotor condition are generally provided. The systems and methods include rotating a rotor assembly defining a bowed rotor condition from approximately zero revolutions per minute (RPM) to within a bowed rotor mitigation speed range, in which the bowed rotor mitigation speed range is defined by a lower speed limit greater than zero RPM and an upper speed limit less than or equal to an idle speed condition of the gas turbine engine; applying a load at the rotor assembly via an energy storage device; adjusting the load to limit rotational speed or acceleration of the rotor assembly to within the bowed rotor mitigation speed range for a period of time; and removing the load to enable rotation of the rotor assembly to the idle speed condition following the period of time.

摘要: The invention relates to a planetary gearbox having a ring gear support, in particular in a geared fan engine, characterized by a bolt connection for connecting the ring gear support to a static component, wherein the bolt connections are arranged on the circumference of the ring gear support in the axial direction of the planetary gearbox, and the bolt connections are designed and arranged in such a way that there is a frictional joint with a defined frictional force between the ring gear support and the static component and that a material separation, in particular a gap, is arranged between the ring gear support and the static component.

摘要: A mechanical flywheel used to power an aircraft system. In one example, the flywheel is used to rotate a rotor shaft in the aircraft's engine and prevent bowing of the rotor shaft caused by a thermal gradient. In another example, the mechanical flywheel provides electrical power at peak demand times. In yet another example, the flywheel is used as a load source or sink by the engine's control system so as to aid engine operability and engine acceleration rates during abnormal flight conditions.

摘要: A method for barring a rotor of a thermally loaded turbomachine includes stopping normal operation of the turbomachine; providing a barring device for rotating the rotor about a machine axis; coupling the barring device to the rotor; letting the rotor cool down during cool down of the rotor rotating the rotor by means of the barring device. A damage of the machine due to thermally induced buckling during the barring process is avoided by consecutively determining the force or torque applied to the rotor by the barring device for rotating the rotor and/or the circumferential speed of the rotor during barring. The rotation of the rotor is controlled by means of the barring device in dependence of the determined force or torque and/or circumferential speed in order to reduce a bending or imbalance of the rotor, which is due to a nonuniform temperature distribution on the rotor during cool down.

摘要: A lubrication system for a fan drive gear system includes a lubricant supply and a collection conduit for drawing lubricant from within the lubricant supply. The collection conduit includes a first opening and a second opening for withdrawing lubricant and supplying lubricant to a pump. During normal operation lubricant may be drawn through both first and second openings. During negative G operating conditions a fitting at the second opening blocks the second opening to prevent air from being drawn into the lubricant system and communicated to the pump.
