Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has an impeller pump for delivering air to an environmental control system and a speed control pump connected to the impeller pump for driving the impeller pump at a constant speed.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a core housing providing a core flowpath. A shaft supports a compressor section arranged within the core flowpath. First and second bearings support the shaft relative to the core housing and are arranged radially inward of and axially overlapping with the compressor section.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine (20) includes a turbine section (54) that includes a turbine rotor (132) arranged in a plenum (180). A compressor section (54) includes a compressor rotor assembly (60) that has spaced apart inner and outer portions (71, 73) that provide an axially extending cooling channel (84). Compressor blades (78) extend radially outward from the outer portion (73) which provides an inner core flow path (C). A rotor spoke is configured to receive a first cooling flow (76) and fluidly connect the outer portion (73) to the cooling channel (84). The compressor rotor assembly (60) has a coolant exit (90) that is in fluid communication with the cooling channel (84). The compressor rotor assembly (60) is configured to communicate the first cooling flow (76) to the turbine rotor (132). A bleed source (91) is configured to provide a second cooling flow (190). A combustor section (56) includes an injector (120) in fluid communication with the bleed source (91). The tangential onboard injector (120) is configured to communicate the second cooling flow (190) to the turbine rotor (132).
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine (100) comprises a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor (108) with a downstream discharge, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine (117). A first tap (110) taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger (112) and then to a cooling compressor (114). The cooling compressor (114) compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger (112), and delivers air into the high pressure turbine (117). A second tap (208) taps air from the compressor section, passes the air across a cabin air pump (212), and delivers air from the cabin air pump (212) for use on an aircraft receiving the gas turbine engine (100). The cooling compressor (114) including a rotor, and the cabin air pump (212) including a rotor, and a drive (300) driven with the turbine section in turn drives both the cooling compressor rotor and the cabin air supply rotor.
