Rotor including replaceable self-locking sealing assembly, turbine, and gas turbine including the same
A rotor, a turbine, and a gas turbine including the same are provided. The rotor includes a pair of disks rotating about an imaginary central axis and arranged parallel to each other in an axial direction, a replaceable self-locking sealing assembly interposed between the pair of disks, and a fastening section disposed on the sealing assembly to fasten the sealing assembly to the disks. The disk includes a sealing slot disposed on an opposite surface to another adjacent disk and a head slot disposed outward from the sealing slot with respect to a radial direction of the to disk. The sealing assembly includes a main body with one end inserted into the sealing slot through the head slot from an outside of the disk and a sealing head disposed on another end of the main body to be seated on an inner wall of the head slot to restrict the main body from being moved.

In various embodiments, the system includes a bleed valve having a bleed valve inlet configured to receive a bleed air from a first access point to the core flow path and a bleed valve outlet; and an air motor having a first air motor inlet configured to receive the bleed air from the bleed valve outlet and a first air motor outlet configured to exhaust the bleed air, the air motor configured to pump the bleed air from the core flow path of the gas turbine engine.
Intercooled cooling air with dual pass heat exchanger
A gas turbine engine comprises a main compressor section having a downstream most end, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A tap taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor compresses ng air downstream of the heat exchanger, and delivers air into the high pressure turbine. The heat exchanger has at least two passes, with one of the passes passing air radially outwardly, and a second of the passes returning the air radially inwardly to the compressor. An intercooling system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
