Abstract:
A heat shield panel (300; 400a, 400b, 400c) for use in a gas turbine engine combustor (56) is disclosed. The heat shield panel (300; 400a, 400b, 400c) includes a hot side defining a first surface (302) having an outer perimeter, a cold side defining a second surface (304) spaced from the first surface, a rail member (308) disposed on the cold side proximate a first portion of the outer perimeter, the rail member (308) having an outer wall (310) and an inner wall (312), and an orifice (320) extending through the rail member (308), from the inner wall (312) to the outer wall (310), the orifice (320) having a cross sectional area that increases from the inner wall (312) to the outer wall (310).

Abstract:
A sealing arrangement 72 includes a turbine static structure with a seal ring 62 having groove 86 with a contact surface. Also included is a bearing compartment 56 with a second contact surface, and a piston seal 74 positioned between the turbine static structure and the bearing compartment 56. The piston seal 74 includes sides configured to contact the contact surfaces and is positioned in the groove 86.
Abstract:
A disc of a gas turbine engine (10) system with particular retaining ring (210; 310; 510; 610) placement and engagement implementation are provided. For example, the disc includes a disc hub (203; 403; 603) including, a groove (233; 333; 533; 633) formed on an axially extending surface (212; 312; 412; 612) of the disc hub, wherein the groove includes a forward surface (213; 313; 413; 513; 613) that extends radially into the disc hub to a groove floor (214; 314; 414; 514; 614) that is cut into the disc hub and extends axially to an aft surface (216; 316; 416; 516; 616) that extends radially outward to at least the axially extending surface of the disc hub, and a scallop (520; 521) formed along at least one surface of the groove, wherein the scallop is configured to provide a flow path, and a disc web (202; 602) that extends radially outward from the disc hub, relative to an axis of rotation of the gas turbine engine.
Abstract:
A sealing arrangement (272) of a gas turbine engine has a turbine static structure with contact surfaces on a sealing ring (262), a bearing compartment (256) with contact surfaces on a heat shield (268), and a cavity (265) between the turbine static structure and the bearing compartment. There are also two seals (74, 275), wherein each seal is configured to contact surfaces on the sealing ring of the turbine static structure and on the heat shield of the bearing compartment.
Abstract:
A heat shield panel (126, 128; 402, 404) for use in a gas turbine engine combustor (56) is disclosed. The heat shield panel (126, 128; 402, 404) includes a hot side, a cold side and at least one attachment mechanism (275; 406) having a stud (250; 408) and a central axis extending through the stud (250; 408) and a plurality of standoff pins (154; 254; 300; 410) positioned circumferentially around the stud (250; 408), the standoff pins (154; 254; 300; 410) having a radial extent, a circumferential extent that is greater than the radial extent, a radially outer surface having a radially convex shape and a radially inner surface having a radially concave shape.
Abstract:
