Enhanced Blade Tipping For Improved Abradability
An abrasive coating comprising a plurality of first grit particles placed on a top surface of a substrate and spaced to provide channels for the removal of cut chips and rub debris and heat reduction. A plurality of second grit particles are placed between each of the first grit particles, and having a nominal size smaller than the first grit particles. A mixture of the second grit particles to the first grit particles comprises from about 75-98%. The second grit particles form a single layer or multiple layers and comprise height of 10 to 60% of that of the first grit particles. A matrix material is bonded to the top surface; the matrix material envelops the second grit particles and bonds to and partially surrounds the first grit particles. The first grit particles extend above the matrix material and the second grit particles relative to the top surface.
Blower device
A blower device includes an axial flow fan having blades to blow air, and a fan shroud that includes a cylindrical portion surrounding an outer circumference of the fan at a distance from the outer circumference, and an air guiding portion guiding air drawn by the fan. The fan shroud includes a short end part shorter in distance to the outer circumference of the fan than another part in an outer end portion of the fan shroud, and a protruding end part provided at a position advanced in a rotational direction from the short end part, protruding upstream in a flow of the drawn air more than the fan and protruding outward of the air guiding portion. Accordingly, the blower device which includes the fan shroud capable of reducing rotational noise can be provided.
MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR RAPID RESPONSE CLEARANCE CONTROL
A clearance control assembly for providing clearance control between a blade outer air seal and an airfoil tip of a gas turbine engine includes an outer case, a first blade outer air seal carrier, a blade outer air seal, an actuator, a load-applying member, and a lever. The first blade outer air seal carrier is positioned radially inward of the outer case. The blade outer air seal is positioned radially inward of and mounted to the blade outer air seal carrier. The load-applying member is positioned to be acted upon by the actuator during operation of the actuator. The lever is connected to the case and is operably in contact with the load-applying member and the first blade outer air seal carrier.
Abrasive Blade Tips With Additive Resistant to Clogging By Organic Matrix Abradable
An abrasive tip comprises an additive, the additive is configured to prevent adhesion of an organic component from an abradable seal onto an abrasive blade tip.
Abrasive Blade Tips With Additive Layer Resistant to Clogging
An abrasive tip comprises an additive layer having an additive; the additive is configured to prevent adhesion of an organic component from an abradable seal onto an abrasive blade tip.
Organic Matrix Abradable Coating Resistant to Clogging of Abrasive Blade Tips
An abradable seal comprises an organic matrix composite comprising an additive and an organic component, the additive is configured to prevent adhesion of the organic component onto an abrasive blade tip.
Cooling fan
A cooling fan includes a boss section (12) connected to a rotary drive source, a plurality of blades (13) protruding outward from the boss section in a radial direction, and a cylindrical ring member (14) configured to annularly connect the vicinities of end sections outside in the radial direction of the plurality of blades. The plurality of blades (13) protruding outward from the boss section (12) in the radial direction are connected by the cylindrical ring member (14) in the vicinity of the end section outside in the radial direction. An air inlet groove (16) is formed at an end section in an axial direction of an air suction side of the ring member (14). The air inlet groove (16) is disposed between front regions in the rotation direction of all of the blades (13) on the ring member (14) and front regions in the rotation direction of the blades (13) adjacent thereto. The air flowing from the outer circumferential side passes through the air inlet groove (16) of the ring member (14) and gradually changes a direction to be suctioned between the blades (13).
Seal assembly
A seal assembly for use in a turbomachine, the seal assembly comprising an oil seal plate; a rotatable component which defines a central axis and is received in a central aperture of the oil seal plate; and an annular seal which comprises a base and a sealing portion, the base being held by the rotatable component; wherein the sealing portion is configured to form a seal with the oil seal plate when the rotatable component and annular seal are rotating below a predetermined rotational speed; and wherein the sealing portion is configured to move radially outwards with respect to the central axis such that the sealing portion loses contact with the oil seal plate when the rotatable component and annular seal are rotating above the predetermined rotational speed.
Turbine bearing and seal assembly for a turbocharger
A turbine bearing and seal assembly is disclosed. The turbine bearing and seal assembly may have a turbine cartridge. The turbine cartridge may have a compressor end and a turbine end opposite the compressor end. The turbine bearing and seal assembly may also have a bearing attached to the turbine cartridge. The bearing may be disposed between the compressor end and the turbine end. The turbine bearing and seal assembly may further have a seal collar attachable to a shaft. The seal collar may be disposed within the turbine cartridge adjacent the turbine end.
Sealing device
Provided is a sealing device including: an impeller configured to rotate; a casing including a groove portion in a surface facing the impeller; a floating ring configured to float between the casing and the impeller and configured to be inserted into the groove portion; and a centering ring provided inside the groove portion and provided between the casing and the floating ring.
