Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect a high pressure turbine case in a gas turbine engine from the corrosion action of the particulate matter in the cooling air current. SOLUTION: An array of first stator vanes 34 is fixed to a turbine case 30 by a first vane support part 40. A cap-shaped corrosive energy dispersing device 44 having a pair of intake orifices 46 opposite to each other and an exhaust orifice having a large diameter, is provided on a bore of the vane support part 40. The air currents including the particulate matter are collided with each other, and the energy is reduced and further decelerated to be discharged, whereby the corrosion can be inhibited.
Abstract:
An airfoil component for a gas turbine engine includes a platform. The airfoil component includes a flow path surface from which an airfoil extends. A laterally extending aft surface is adjacent to the flow path surface. A contoured surface adjoins the flow path surface and the aft surface. An airfoil component for a gas turbine engine includes a platform. The airfoil component includes a flow path surface from which an airfoil extends. A laterally extending aft surface is adjacent to the flow path surface. A contoured surface adjoins the flow path surface and the aft surface. The aft surface extends from a first aft edge to a second aft edge at a circumferentially extending edge. The contoured surface is arranged inboard from at least one of the first and second edges.
Abstract:
A turbine 18 of a gas turbine engine includes erosion energy dissipaters 44 which reduce the erosion of associated structure due to impingement of particulates entrained in airstreams, particularly cooling airstreams. Each dissipater comprises a plurality of inlet orifices 46 and a large diameter outlet orifice 48. The inlet orifices 46 are arranged to produce impacting gas streams which reduces the energy of the particulates, and the outlet orifice 48 lowers the velocity of the resultant gas stream thereby reducing erosion damage.
