VANE SYSTEM WITH CONTINUOUS SUPPORT RING
A vane system includes a plurality of vane assemblies and a continuous support ring. The vane assemblies are arranged circumferentially about an axis and each include a hollow airfoil fairing and a spar. The spar has a spar flange and a spar leg extending radially inwardly from the spar flange and through the hollow airfoil fairing. The continuous support ring has radially inner and outer sides and defines a circumferential row of through-holes between the radially inner and outer sides. The spar legs extend through the through-holes and the spar flanges are affixed at the radially outer side of the continuous support ring.
Trailing edge pressure and flow regulator
A gas turbine engine component comprises a body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a radial span. One internal channel in the body provides an upstream supply pressure. Another internal channel in body receives the upstream supply pressure and provides a downstream supply pressure. At least one axial rib separates an internal area adjacent to the trailing edge into a plurality of individual cavities. At least one pressure regulating feature is located at an entrance to at least one individual cavity entrance to control downstream supply pressure to the trailing edge. Exits formed in the trailing edge communicate with an exit pressure. The rib and pressure regulating features cooperate such that the downstream supply pressure mimics the exit pressure along the radial span.
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.
VANE ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED NOZZLE TUBE
A vane assembly includes an airfoil fairing that has first and second fairing platforms and a hollow airfoil section that extends there between. A spar has a spar leg that extends through the hollow airfoil section. The spar leg has a through-passage and an end portion that protrudes from the second fairing platform. A support is secured with the end portion of the spar leg. The support has a platform that includes first and second sides, an opening that extends between the first and second sides, and a nozzle tube that extends from the second side. The first side is adjacent the second fairing platform. The end portion of the spar leg is disposed in the opening so as to fluidly connect the through-passage with the nozzle tube.
Airfoil with rib having connector arms
An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, and first and second sides that join the leading end and the trailing end. A rib connects the first and second sides of the airfoil wall. The rib defines a tube portion that circumscribes a rib passage, and first and second connector arms that solely join the tube portion to, respectively, the first and second sides of the airfoil wall.
Ceramic airfoil with cooling air turn
An airfoil includes a ceramic airfoil that defines a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, a suction side, a first radial end, and a second radial end. The ceramic airfoil section has an internal cavity and a rib that divides the internal cavity into a first radial passage and a second radial passage. The first radial passage is open at both the first radial end and the second radial end, and the second radial passage is open at least at the second radial end. A cooling passage circuit includes a first radial leg through the first radial passage, a second radial leg though the second radial passage, and a turn leg outside of the internal cavity at the second radial end. The turn leg connects the first radial leg and the second radial leg.
Turbomachine rotor blade with a cooling circuit having an offset rib
A rotor blade for a turbomachine is provided. The rotor blade includes a platform, an airfoil extending from the platform, and a cooling circuit extending within the platform and the airfoil. The cooling circuit includes a plurality of cooling passages defined by a plurality of ribs. The plurality of ribs includes an offset rib.
AIRFOIL WITH RIB HAVING CONNECTOR ARMS
An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, and first and second sides that join the leading end and the trailing end. A rib connects the first and second sides of the airfoil wall. The rib defines a tube portion that circumscribes a rib passage, and first and second connector arms that solely join the tube portion to, respectively, the first and second sides of the airfoil wall.
VANE RING ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH DEDICATED THROUGH-FLOW VANES
A vane ring assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil set, an outer band, and an inner band. The airfoil set extends radially across a primary flow path annulus arranged around an axis. The outer band extends around the airfoil set. The inner band extends around the axis at the airfoil set.
Vane assembly with integrated nozzle tube
A vane assembly includes an airfoil fairing that has first and second fairing platforms and a hollow airfoil section that extends there between. A spar has a spar leg that extends through the hollow airfoil section. The spar leg has a through-passage and an end portion that protrudes from the second fairing platform. A support is secured with the end portion of the spar leg. The support has a platform that includes first and second sides, an opening that extends between the first and second sides, and a nozzle tube that extends from the second side. The first side is adjacent the second fairing platform. The end portion of the spar leg is disposed in the opening so as to fluidly connect the through-passage with the nozzle tube.
