Abstract:
A turbine seal system comprises an annular structural frame, a circumferential ring, a fairing and a seal. The circumferential ring is joined to the annular structural frame. The fairing is disposed within the annular structural frame and is engaged with the circumferential ring to limit circumferential rotation of the fairing with respect to the annular structural frame. The seal extends between the fairing and the circumferential ring. In one embodiment, the structural component comprises a ring-strut-ring turbine exhaust case.
Abstract:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a frame, a mount, and a fairing. The mount is attached to the frame and the fairing is connected to the mount. The fairing and mount have mating anti-deflection features that engage to prevent circumferential movement of the fairing relative to the frame.
Abstract:
A turbine exhaust case (28) for a gas turbine engine (10) comprises a frame (100), a vane fairing (108), a heat shield (124, 126, 128), and a serpentine cooling path. The frame has an outer ring (102) and an inner ring (104) connected by a hollow strut (106) with a radial service line passage (132). The vane fairing is disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring to define a core airflow path. The heat shield is disposed between the vane fairing and the frame. The serpentine cooling flow path passes through and around the outer ring, the inner ring, and the plurality of struts
