System and methods for selective cleaning of turbine engine components
System for selectively contacting a cleaning composition with a surface of a turbine engine component is presented. The system includes a cleaning apparatus and a manifold assembly. The cleaning apparatus includes an upper portion and a lower portion defining a cleaning chamber configured to allow selective contact between the cleaning composition and a surface of the first portion of the turbine engine component. The upper portion includes a plurality of fill holes in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber, and the lower portion includes a plurality of drain holes in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber. The manifold assembly is configured to selectively circulate the cleaning composition from a reservoir to the cleaning chamber via the plurality of fill holes, and recirculate the cleaning composition from the cleaning chamber to the reservoir via the plurality of drain holes. Methods for selectively cleaning a turbine engine component is also presented.
MODULAR MAGNETIC-TYPE FAN CONVENIENT FOR INSTALLATION
The present utility model discloses a modular magnetic-type fan convenient for installation, which comprises a housing, a magnetic-type structure and an electrical-connection structure; the housing is surrounded by a plurality of side frames; the magnetic-type structure comprises a first magnetic part and a second magnetic part arranged on both side frames; the electrical-connection structure comprises a first electrical-connection part and a second electrical-connection part arranged on two side frames; the users can splice fans in accordance with their actual needs make the fan combinations more convenient and avoid messy electrical connection.
Turbocompressor with adapted meridian contour of the blades and compressor wall
The invention relates to a turbocompressor (1) comprising a compressor housing (2) and a compressor wheel (4) with blades (5). The compressor wheel (4) is rotatably mounted relative to the compressor housing (2) and is arranged such that the exposed upper edges of the blades (5) are spaced from a compressor housing (2) wall (3) facing the blade upper edges across a head gap (7), wherein both the upper edges of the blades (5) as well as the housing wall (3) have at least one recess (11, 13) and at least one elevation (10, 14) over the respective Meridian contour, said recess and elevation interacting locally such that the head gap (7) defines a Z-shaped course in the region of the recesses (11, 13) and the elevations (10, 14) when viewed on a Meridian plane.
Fan shroud for an electric motor assembly
An electric motor assembly includes an electric motor, a fan assembly coupled to the electric motor and configured to rotate therewith about an axis. The bower assembly also includes a shroud coupled to the electric motor and extending about the fan assembly. The shroud includes a central hub coupled to the electric motor, an inlet ring, and a plurality of arms extending between the central hub and the inlet ring. Each arm of the plurality of arms includes a curved radial portion extending from the central hub and a planar axial portion extending from the radial portion to the inlet ring.
WEARABLE BLOWER AND ASSEMBLY
An assembly including a wearable blower having a fan, a motor, an air duct having a duct housing thereof, a handle attached to the duct housing, and a hanger disposed on the duct housing. The hanger has an attachment part attached to the duct housing and adjacent to the handle and a hanger part connected to the attachment part for holding an accessory attached to the blower. The hanger part rotates with respect to the duct housing at a first hanging position whereat the hanger part is unfolded with an opening mouth for holding the accessory of the blower and the hanger part rotates with respect to the duct housing at a second folded position. Thus, the arrangement of the hanger can help the user to hold the accessory of the blower at the work states.
BOSS THERMAL WASHER
Systems and methods for thermal washers are described herein. A thermal washer may comprise a first metallic plate having a first inner surface and a first outer surface, a second metallic plate having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, the second metallic plate being oriented substantially parallel to the first metallic plate such that the first inner surface and the second inner surface are separated by a gap, and a thermal wool in contact with the first inner surface and the second inner surface, the thermal wool filling a void between the first inner surface and the second inner surface. A width of the thermal wool may be substantially equal to a width of the first metallic plate and a length of the thermal wool may be substantially equal to a length of the first metallic plate.
GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH AXIAL MOVABLE FAN VARIABLE AREA NOZZLE
