A device analyzes the surface of a part having a surface that has cooling fluid openings which adjoin cooling fluid ducts inside the part, the device being usable in the aforementioned method. The disclosed device and/or the disclosed method is used during the manufacturing and/or overhauling of parts of a turbomachine.

A wall of a hot gas component includes a hot and a cold-gas sided surface, one film cooling hole extending from an inlet in the cold-gas sided surface to an outlet in the hot-gas sided surface and with a metering section of constant cross-section and a diffuser section extending from the metering section. The diffuser section is bordered by a diffuser bottom and two opposing diffuser side walls, has a leading region, which extends from the metering section to the outlet, lies opposite the diffuser bottom and has a constant cross-section over its entire length corresponding to an elongation of a leading region of the metering section up to the outlet. The diffuser section has two diffuser arms dividing the flow into two subflows, generating delta-vortices, a v-shaped outlet, and a v-shaped outlet opening.

The present disclosure is directed to a turbomachine that includes a hot gas path component having an inner surface and defining a hot gas path component cavity. An impingement insert is positioned within the hot gas path component cavity. The impingement insert includes an inner surface and an outer surface and defines an impingement insert cavity and a plurality of impingement apertures fluidly coupling the impingement insert cavity and the hot gas path component cavity. A plurality of pins extends from the outer surface of the impingement insert to the inner surface of the hot gas path component.

An oil pipe assembly for a gas turbine engine. The oil pipe assembly includes a first pipe that defines a first fluid passage between an oil supply and a bearing chamber, and a second pipe that houses the first pipe and defines a second fluid passage between the first pipe and the second pipe that is supplied with cooling air. The oil pipe assembly also includes a restrictor that extends from the second pipe and restricts the passage of fluid from the second fluid passage before it flows into a breather. Pressure and temperature sensors) are located adjacent the restrictor to detect and measure changes in air pressure and air temperature adjacent the restrictor from which a controller identifies whether a leak has occurred in the first pipe or the second pipe. A method for detecting a leak in the oil pipe assembly, and a gas turbine are also described.

A turbine exhaust case (TEC) has an outer case and an inner case structurally interconnected by a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart struts. At least one of the struts has an airfoil body with a hollow core. The airfoil body has opposed pressure and suction sides extending chordwise from a leading edge to a trailing edge and spanwise from a radially inner end to a radially outer end. The radially inner end of the strut has a strut wall extension that extends through the inner case to a location radially inward of the inner case relative to the central axis.

The invention relates to a device for connecting parts of an aircraft engine. The connection device comprises connectors suitable for connecting a first and a second part so as to establish a physical transfer link between these parts and means which enable it to monitor the state of the connection in particular by means of an impedance measurement carried out in a circuit formed by components integrated into said connectors.

An airplane is provided. The airplane includes a pressurized medium, a turbine, and a valve. The turbine includes at least one nozzle. The valve is located upstream of the turbine. The valve provides the pressurized medium to the at least one nozzle of the turbine according to an operational mode.

A dual flow turbine engine includes at least one lubricant tank located in an annular space of the turbine engine body and at least one hatch which is provided on an external cowling of a nacelle, for filling the tank. The tank is configured to be filled, by means of a removable tubular pipe inserted from the hatch into the tank, through canisters. One of the canisters includes a first interface through which the pipe is configured to pass, and another canister includes a second interface for connecting the pipe to the tank.

A turbine vane is provided. The turbine vane may include an inner shroud having an upper surface and a lower surface, a seal unit disposed in the lower surface of the inner shroud and defining a first region and a second region in the lower surface of the inner shroud, a first impingement unit arranged in the first region and comprising a first impingement plate facing the inner shroud defining a first impingement chamber therebetween, wherein the first impingement plate is configured to receive cooling air and form impingement jet directed to the first impingement chamber, a second impingement unit arranged in the second region and comprising a second impingement plate facing the inner shroud defining a second impingement chamber therebetween, and at least one connector flow channel configured to direct cooling air from the first impingement chamber to the second region, wherein the second impingement plate is configured to receive cooling air from the at least one connector flow channel and form impingement jet directed to the second impingement chamber.

A gas turbine engine includes a buffer system that communicates a buffer supply air to a portion of the gas turbine engine. The buffer system includes a first bleed air supply having a first pressure, a second bleed air supply having a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure, and a valve that selects between the first bleed air supply and the second bleed air supply to communicate the buffer supply air to the portion of the gas turbine engine.
