Systems and methods of servicing turbomachines

A method of servicing a gas turbine engine, the method including preparing the gas turbine engine for service; installing a shaft protection cover to an aft end of a fan shaft of the gas turbine engine; installing an oil collector drum at least partially around a gearbox of the gas turbine engine; and removing at least a portion of the gearbox from the gas turbine engine.

Turbine engine inducer assembly

An apparatus and method for assembling an inducer assembly for inducing a rotation on an airflow passing within a turbine engine. The inducer assembly can provide a volume of fluid from a compressor section to a turbine section of the engine. The inducer assembly can include the combination of separate segments to form an annular inducer.

Onboard system and a method for draining an aeroengine

An onboard system and a method for draining an aeroengine. The onboard system comprises a buffer tank having an admission passage for admitting under gravity fluid coming from the aeroengine, a primary tank situated above the buffer tank and having an emptying passage for emptying the fluid coming from the aeroengine, and a lift circuit connecting the buffer tank to the primary tank in order to transfer the fluid coming from the aeroengine from the buffer tank to the primary tank.

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.
