Turbine exhaust drain system
11624298 · 2023-04-11 · ·

A turbine exhaust drain system has a sump where liquid collects and a suction pipe having an inlet end fluidly connected to the sump and an outlet end fluidly connected to a core gas path of a turbine exhaust case. In use, the combustion gases flowing through the exhaust case creates a venturi effect to draw the liquid from the sump into the core gas path where the liquid and the combustions gases combine into a mixed flow before being discharged through an outlet end of the exhaust case.
