REVERSIBLE FAN
Provided is a reversible fan that produces a current of air in both of a normal direction and a reverse direction, the reversible fan including: an impeller configured to be rotatable about a rotation axis; a motor configured to rotate the impeller; a base portion supporting the motor; a tubular frame housing the impeller, the motor, and the base portion; a spoke extending from an inner peripheral surface of the frame toward the rotation axis, the spoke supporting the base portion; and a holding portion configured to hold at least a part of a lead wire provided along the spoke to apply power to the motor, wherein the holding portion is provided with a housing space opening in the reverse direction and extending along the spoke.
REVERSIBLE FAN
Provided is a reversible fan including: a fin configured to produce a current of air in both of a normal direction and a reverse direction; an impeller configured to be rotatable about a rotation axis; a motor configured to rotate the impeller; and a tubular frame housing the impeller and the motor, wherein the fin has a shape that allows producing louder noise upon producing the current of air in the normal direction than upon producing the current of air in the reverse direction, and protrudes inward in a radial direction from an inner peripheral surface of the frame.
Fan assembly having flow recirculation circuit with rotating airfoils
There is disclosed a fan assembly including a fan rotor including a hub and fan blades. The fan blades have a leading edge and a trailing edge. A fan stator downstream of the fan rotor relative to a direction of an airflow through the fan assembly. The fan stator includes vanes extending between radially inner ends and radially outer ends. A flow recirculation circuit has an inlet downstream of the vanes of the fan stator and an outlet upstream of the vanes. A recirculation rotor has a plurality of airfoils circumferentially distributed around the axis and located in the flow recirculation circuit. The recirculation rotor is rotatable about the axis within the recirculation circuit. A method of operating the fan assembly is also disclosed.
CMC VANE SEALING ARRANGEMENT
A vane assembly includes an airfoil extending from a platform. The platform has a flange that extends radially outward and circumferentially across the platform. A vane cover is arranged adjacent the platform that defines an impingement gap between the platform and the vane cover. The vane cover has a wall that defines a slot. The flange is arranged at least partially within the slot.
Turbine engine component with baffle
The disclosure relates to a component for a turbine engine with a heated airflow and a cooling airflow. The component includes a wall separating the heated airflow from the cooling airflow. The wall can have a heated surface confronting the heated airflow and a cooled surface confronting the cooling airflow. The component can also include a baffle with a set of cooling holes.
Multi-material vane for a gas turbine engine
A multi-material vane includes an airfoil extending longitudinally between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil extends spanwise between an inner end and an outer end. The airfoil extends laterally between a first side and a second side. The airfoil includes a base section, a first side section, a second side section and a sheath. The base section extends along the span line between the inner end and the outer end. The base section is laterally between the first side section and the second side section. The first side section is connected to the base section and partially forms the first side of the airfoil. The second side section is connected to the base section and partially forms the second side of the airfoil. The sheath at least partially forming an edge of the airfoil. The edge is the leading edge or the trailing edge of the airfoil.
Reversible fan
Provided is a reversible fan that produces a current of air in both of a normal direction and a reverse direction, the reversible fan including: an impeller configured to be rotatable about a rotation axis; a motor configured to rotate the impeller; a base portion supporting the motor; a tubular frame housing the impeller, the motor, and the base portion; a spoke extending from an inner peripheral surface of the frame toward the rotation axis, the spoke supporting the base portion; and a holding portion configured to hold at least a part of a lead wire provided along the spoke to apply power to the motor, wherein the holding portion is provided with a housing space opening in the reverse direction and extending along the spoke.
Engine with cooling passage circuit for air prior to ceramic component
A gas turbine engine includes a blade outer air seal, a ceramic vane, and a cooling passage circuit that extends through a first internal passage in the blade outer air seal and a second internal passage in the ceramic vane.
INTERNALLY COOLED TURBINE TIP SHROUD COMPONENT
A tip shroud, comprising a plurality of tip shoes encircling a rotor assembly, in a turbine may deform due to thermal gradients experienced during operation of the turbine. Accordingly, a tip shoe is disclosed that utilizes an internal cooling cavity to supply coolant throughout the interior of the tip shoe, as well as to the slash faces of the tip shoe. In addition, features are described that increase the surface area exposed to the coolant, while remaining suitable for additive manufacturing.
CLEARANCE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
A clearance control assembly for a gas turbine engine that defines an axial direction and a radial direction and includes a stage of rotor blades and a shroud hanger. The assembly includes a case configured to be positioned outward along the radial direction from the stage of rotor blades when installed in the gas turbine engine. The case is further configured to be engaged with the shroud hanger at a first location when installed in the gas turbine engine. The assembly also includes a baffle positioned outward along the radial direction from the case to define a chamber therebetween. The baffle has a forward end and an aft end. The forward end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a first seal and the aft end of the baffle is engaged with the case to form a second seal. The baffle, the case, or both define an inlet to allow a fluid to enter the chamber and the case defines an outlet to allow the fluid to exit the chamber.
