Abstract:
A wheel member includes a body having a first surface that extends to a second surface through an intermediate portion. The body includes an outer diametric surface and a central bore. A first plurality of purge circuits are formed in the body. The first plurality of purge circuits extend from a first end to a second end through the body. The first plurality of purge circuits are arranged to direct a first purge flow in a first direction. A second plurality of purge circuits are formed in the body and fluidly isolated from the first plurality of purge circuits. The second plurality of purge circuits extend from a first end portion to a second end portion through the body and are arranged to direct a second purge flow in a second direction, that is distinct from the first direction, to establish a cross-over purge flow system.
