Abstract:
A diffuser case assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a fairing (48) disposed circumferentially about a longitudinal axis (24). The fairing (48) defines a plurality of passages (52) circumferentially spaced apart and forming at least a portion of a fluid path (C) between a compressor (40) and a combustor (44) of the gas turbine engine. A diffuser frame (58) includes a plurality of struts (62). Each of the plurality of struts (62) is disposed between a pair of adjacent passages of the plurality of passages (52). The diffuser frame (58) is configured to couple an inner diffuser case (54) to an outer diffuser case (56).
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a platform that axially extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge, circumferentially extends between a first mate face and a second mate face, and includes a gas path surface and a non-gas path surface.

Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component has first and second components each having a platform with an upper surface and a lower surface and with a plurality of side faces extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The platforms are arranged adjacent to one another such that one side face of the platform faces a mating side face of an adjacent platform. At least one cooling hole is formed within the platform and has an inlet to receive a cooling flow and an outlet at least at one of the side faces. The at least one cooling hole increases in size in a direction toward the outlet. A method of cooling a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section that has a disk rotatable about an axis. The disk has circumferentially-spaced blade mounting features and radially outer rim surfaces extending circumferentially between the blade mounting features. Turbine blades are mounted circumferentially around the disk in the blade mounting features. Seals are arranged radially outwards of the disk adjacent the radially outer rim surfaces such that there are respective passages between the seals and the radially outer rim surfaces. The radially outer rim surfaces include radially-extending protrusions that extend into the respective passages.
Abstract:
A cooling structure for a gas turbine engine comprises a gas turbine engine structure defining a cooling cavity. A cooling component is configured to direct cooling flow in a desired direction into the cooling cavity. A bracket supports the cooling component and has an attachment interface to fix the bracket to the gas turbine engine structure. A first orientation feature 96, 102 associated with the bracket. A second orientation feature 104, 106 is associated with the gas turbine engine structure. The first and second orientation features cooperate with each other to ensure that the cooling component is only installed in one orientation relative to the gas turbine engine structure. A gas turbine engine and a method of installing a cooling structure are also disclosed.
