Abstract:
An assembly for a turbine engine includes a turbine engine first component, a turbine engine second component and a flexible seal that is attached to the first component. The flexible seal at least partially seals a gap between the first component and the second component. The flexible seal includes a mount and a finger seal that sealingly engages the second component. The mount includes a boss that sealingly engages the first component.
Abstract:
A method of cooling a portion of a gas turbine engine includes positioning a tie rod relative to an inner frame case. The tie rod includes a bushing opening and the inner frame case includes a fastener opening. A fastener is secured through the fastener opening in the inner frame case to a threaded bushing located in the bushing opening. The threaded bushing includes a distal end that forms a clearance gap with the inner frame case. Heat is transferred from the fastener through the threaded bushing to prevent the fastener from creeping.
Abstract:
A sealing arrangement includes a turbine static structure with a seal ring having groove with a contact surface. Also included is a bearing compartment with a second contact surface, and a piston seal positioned between the turbine static structure and the bearing compartment. The piston seal includes sides configured to contact the contact surfaces and is positioned in the groove.
Abstract:
A mid-turbine frame for a gas turbine engine includes an outer frame case and an inner frame case. At least one spoke connects the outer frame case to the inner frame case. The spoke includes an inlet passage with at least one branch that extends in an axial direction.
Abstract:
A mid-turbine frame assembly includes an inner frame case which includes a first plurality of holes and a second plurality of holes. A plurality of tie rods is circumferentially spaced around the inner frame case and includes an inlet passage that is aligned with the first plurality of holes. A plurality of hollow airfoils is aligned with the second plurality of holes.
