    摘要: According to an aspect, a gas turbine engine includes a turbine section with a turbine case and a plurality of turbine blades within the turbine case. The gas turbine engine also includes an active clearance control system with an active clearance control cooling air supply, a valve pneumatically coupled to the active clearance control cooling air supply, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine an active cooling control schedule adjustment based on a condition of the gas turbine engine, operate the active clearance control system according to an active cooling control schedule as modified by the active cooling control schedule adjustment, apply a decay function to the active cooling control schedule adjustment to reduce an effect on the active cooling control schedule adjustment, and resume operating the active clearance control system according to the active cooling control schedule based on an active cooling control condition being met.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for real-time clearance assessment using a pressure measurement are disclosed. An example method includes determining a first and a second static pressure measurement at a first measurement location and a second measurement location, respectively, relative to the blade tip clearance, determining a normalized pressure measurement using the first and second static pressure measurements, generating a conversion curve to correlate the normalized pressure measurement with a clearance measurement, and adjusting active clearance control of the blade tip clearance based on a comparison of real-time in-flight pressure measurements to the conversion curve.

    摘要: In a gas turbine, a plurality of blade ring parts each include a plurality of first cooling flow passages, a plurality of second cooling flow passages, and a return flow passage. The first cooling flow passages are disposed on the outer side in a radial direction centering on a rotation axis, extend in an axial direction, and are disposed aligned in an axial rotation direction. The second cooling flow passages are disposed on an inner side in the radial direction with respect to the first cooling flow passages, extend in the axial direction, and are disposed aligned in the axial rotation direction. The return flow passage connects end parts of each of the first cooling flow passages and the second cooling flow passages on the same side in the axial direction with each other.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine defining a longitudinal direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction, and an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes a turbine section, a gearbox proximate to the turbine section, and a driveshaft. The turbine section includes a first rotating component interdigitated with a second rotating component along the longitudinal direction. The first rotating component includes an outer shroud defining a plurality of outer shroud airfoils extended inward of the outer shroud along the radial direction and one or more connecting airfoils coupling the outer shroud to a radially extended rotor. The second rotating component includes an inner shroud defining a plurality of inner shroud airfoils extended outward of the inner shroud along the radial direction. The second rotating component is coupled to an input shaft connected to an input gear of the gearbox. The driveshaft is extended in the longitudinal direction and is connected to an output gear of the gearbox. The first rotating component is coupled to the driveshaft.
