SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALIGNING CASING WALL OF TURBOMACHINE
A system includes a casing alignment system configured to align an inner wall with an outer wall of a multi-wall casing of a turbomachine having a rotor. The casing alignment system includes a first alignment positioner configured to bias a first lip of the inner wall in a direction of rotation of the rotor disposed within the multi-wall casing. The alignment positioner may include a spring, a fluid-driven alignment positioner, an electric-driven alignment positioner, or a combination thereof. The alignment positioner may be configured to bias the first lip within a first recess adjacent a first flanged coupling between first and second wall sections of the outer wall.
T-fairing installation tooling assembly
a tooling assembly for installation relative to a first and second turbomachine component is provided. The tooling assembly includes an axial mounting portion removably couplable to the first turbomachine component. The axial mounting portion includes a first plate, a second plate spaced apart from the first plate, and at least one turnbuckle assembly that extends between, and is coupled to, the first plate and the second plate. At least one of the first plate and the second plate include a radial compression portion. The radial compression portion includes a compression bar radially movable relative to the axial mounting portion and configured to contact the second turbomachine component.
Ceramic matrix composite blade track segment with pin-locating threaded insert
A turbine shroud assembly includes a carrier segment and a blade track segment. The carrier segment includes an outer wall, a first mount flange, and a second mount flange having a chordal seal. The blade track segment includes a shroud wall and an attachment feature. The mount assembly couples the blade track segment to the carrier segment.
Compact accessory systems for a gas turbine engine
An accessory system for a gas turbine engine having a drive shaft with an axis of rotation is provided. Also provided is a bearing housing assembly for coupling the drive shaft of an accessory having a first gear to a gear associated with the accessory system. The bearing housing assembly includes a mount including an interface to be coupled to the accessory and defining a central bore, and a lock cylinder configured to receive the drive shaft. The lock cylinder is movable relative to the central bore and the drive shaft to adjust a contact pattern between the first gear of the drive shaft and the gear of the accessory system.
MOBILE ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM
A system for providing mobile electric power includes a first transport including an inlet plenum and a generator, a second transport including a gas turbine, and a turbine exhaust unit, and a third transport including a generator exhaust air handling system, a combustion air handling system, and a turbine enclosure air handling system. The first transport, the second transport, and the third transport are separate transports that are independently movable in a transportation mode. In an operation mode, the first transport and the second transport are connected to each other such that a first end side of the first transport faces and is connected to a first end side of the second transport, and the inlet plenum mounted on the first transport is connected to an intake of the gas turbine mounted on the second transport. In the operation mode, the third transport is positioned at a predetermined distance relative to the connected first and second transports such that a first longitudinal side of the third transport faces a first longitudinal side of the first transport and a first longitudinal side of the second transport.
TOOL FOR ALIGNMENT OF SEAL SEGMENTS
An alignment tool includes a mounting flange, a support leg fixedly coupled to the mounting flange and cooperating with the mounting flange to define a partial annular ring that extends in an arc between 190 degrees and 350 degrees, and a second quantity of jack bolt pairs movably coupled to the support leg, each jack bolt pair arranged to engage one of the first quantity of seal segments. A third quantity of mounting fasteners is positioned to fixedly attach the mounting flange to the inner casing.
Gas turbine and gas turbine manufacturing method
According to an embodiment, a gas turbine includes: a casing; a rotor shaft penetrating through the casing; a plurality of turbine stages which are in the casing and are arranged along an axial direction of the rotor shaft and through which a working fluid passes; two bearings disposed on outer sides of the casing in terms of the axial direction and supporting the rotor shaft in a rotatable manner; and a plurality of outlet pipes through which the working fluid having finished work in the turbine stages is discharged. The outlet pipes are provided in an upper half and a lower half of the casing.
DEGASSING TUBE AND EJECTION CONE FOR A TURBINE ENGINE, AS WELL AS TOOL FOR ASSEMBLY THEREOF
An aircraft turbine engine module, including a degassing tube and an ejection cone. The tube and the cone are engageable together by structures which cause them to be centered when engaged together. Also provided is a locating and adjusting tool for assembling the module.
DEVICE FOR CENTRING AND ROTATIONALLY GUIDING A TURBOMACHINE SHAFT COMPRISING SEVERAL OPTIMISED DAMPING FLUID FILMS
A device for centring and rotationally guiding a turbomachine shaft includes a rolling-element bearing outer ring; a bearing support having a radially inner annular surface surrounding the outer ring; a connection structure connecting the outer ring to the bearing support and including an elastically deformable structure; a first cavity formed between the radially inner annular surface and the outer ring to receive a first damping fluid film; at least one second cavity formed between the bearing support and the connection structure which is arranged radially outside the radially inner annular surface to receive a second respective damping fluid film. Such an arrangement allows for the coexistence of damping fluid films having very different damping properties.
System and method for shimming a bevel gear in an IGB on a gas turbine without removal of the bevel gear
A method for shimming a thrust bearing for an accessory power take off shaft to obtain optimal meshing of bevel gears within the internal gearbox (IGB) without disassembly of the IGB is enabled by relocating the thrust bearing from the engine sump. The accessory gearbox (AGB) is driven from a power off-take from the turbine spool via the IGB. The radial position of the power take-off bevel gear is established by a radial position of the thrust bearing attached to the exterior of the casing via a housing. Candidate shims are selected from a set each having different thicknesses, the shims are formed of two halves and placed between the housing and the engine casing to adjust the radial position of the thrust bearing and consequently the power take-off bevel gear, without requiring the disassembly of the IGB.
