摘要:
The invention provides a method of ventilating equipment of a turbojet, the turbojet (10) having a cold zone (ZF) including a fan (14) upstream from a hot zone (ZC), the turbojet equipment (32) for ventilating being arranged in a ventilation space (30) available around the hot zone between a primary air stream passage (26) and a secondary air stream passage (28) of the turbojet, the method comprising taking ventilation air from one of the air stream passages in order to convey it to the ventilation space, and providing forced flow of the ventilation air by means of at least one electric fan (36) positioned inside the ventilation space and powered electrically by at least one thermoelectric generator (38) suitable for inducing a potential difference (ΔV) and positioned in a wall (40) between the ventilation space and the secondary air stream passage.

A liner assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a liner defining an inner surface exposed to exhaust gases and a duct spaced radially outward of the liner. A hanger assembly supports the liner relative to the duct. The hanger assembly includes a body segment attached to the liner and first and second washers defining a gap therebetween that receives a portion of the body segment. The gap between the washers and the body segment provides for relative movement caused by differences in thermal growth within the liner. An attachment member extending between the body section and the duct includes spherical ends that are seated on the first and second washers to accommodate misalignments during assembly.

A panel attachment device for removably connecting a panel to a casing comprises a first bracket, a second bracket, and a link. The link has a first end and an opposite second end, with the first end being removably connected to the first bracket and the second end being removably connected to the second bracket. Each of the first end and second ends is located by, and rotatable relative to, the first bracket and second bracket respectively to thereby constrain the panel relative to the casing.

A combined liner and panel for use in a gas turbine engine comprise a ceramic matrix composite panel having a plurality of extending members extending away from a face of ceramic matrix composite panel which will face hot products of combustion. A liner includes a plurality of spring members that apply a bias force biasing the extending members. The spring members bias the extending members on the panel in a direction away from the face of the panel which will face the hot products of combustion. A gas turbine engine, and a method of attaching a ceramic matrix composite panel to a liner are also disclosed.

An integrated single-piece exhaust system (SPEX) with modular construction that facilitates design changes for enhanced aerodynamics, structural integrity or serviceability. The SPEX defines splined or curved exhaust path surfaces, such as a series of cylindrical and frusto-conical sections that mimic curves. The constructed sections may include: (i) a tail cone assembly fabricated from conical sections that taper downstream to a reduced diameter; or (ii) an area-ruled cross section axially aligned with one or more rows of turbine struts; or both features. Modular inner and outer diameter inlet lips enhance transitional flow between the last row blades and the SPEX, as well as enhance structural integrity. Modular strut collars have large radius profiles between the SPEX annular inner diameter and outer diameter flow surfaces, for enhanced airflow and constant thickness walls for uniform heat transfer and thermal expansion. Scalloped mounting flanges enhance structural integrity and longevity.

A thermoelectric generation system for turbine engines and the like has at least one thermoelectric generator disposed proximate the turbine engine such that waste heat from the turbine engine can be converted into electricity. Vehicle performance and efficiency can be enhanced by mitigating the need for mechanically driven electric power generators, which undesirably drain power from the turbine engine thus adversely affect the vehicle's performance.

A device for producing electrical power in a gas turbine or the like of an aircraft, the device including a plurality of thermoelectric cells having a face surrounding a hot source. A cold source is constituted by a cold fluid flowing over the other face of the thermoelectric cells.
摘要:
A gas turbine engine exhaust panel mounting system comprising a panel, a casing and an attachment assembly for removably connecting the panel to the casing comprises a retaining portion, a clamping portion, and a ‘C’-shaped connecting link.The connecting link has a first attachment portion and an opposite second attachment portion with the first and second attachment portions being connected to one another by a centre portion. Each of the first and second attachment portions is substantially parallel to one another and extends in the same direction from respective ends of the centre portion. The first attachment portion is fixedly connected to the casing by the clamping portion, and the second attachment portion is slidingly connected to the panel by the retaining portion.

A liner and attachment structure has an exhaust liner for use in a gas turbine engine. At least one hanger has feet secured to the liner. The hanger has an aperture extending at a central web. A flanged washer is received within the opening in the hanger. The flanged washer allows adjustment relative to the hanger. The flanged washer has a spherical recess. A collet has a plurality of part-spherical fingers separated by slots, and are received in the spherical recess of the flanged washer. A member extends into the collet to hold the part-spherical fingers radially outwardly. The member is also utilized to secure static structure, and to secure the liner to the static structure.
