摘要: An example system includes one or more heaters configured and positioned to add thermal energy to one or more portions of a gas turbine engine after the gas turbine engine was in operation, wherein the thermal energy minimizes or prevents undesired contact or seizing of a rotor of the gas turbine engine with another component of the gas turbine engine due to warping of the rotor due to uneven cooling of the gas turbine engine after the operation. The system further includes a controller configured to control operation of the one or more heaters.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The compressor compresses gases entering the gas turbine engine. The combustor receives the compressed gases from the compressor and mixes fuel with the compressed gases. The turbine receives the hot, high pressure combustion products created by the combustor by igniting the fuel mixed with the compressed gases. The turbine extracts mechanical work from the hot, high pressure combustion products to drive the compressor and a fan, shaft, or propeller.

摘要: A thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes an inlet, a compressor, a mixing unit, and a fuel source. The compressor includes a low pressure stage and a high pressure stage. The mixing unit includes a first valve port fluidically connected to a low pressure bleed line of the compressor and a high pressure bleed line of the compressor and having an adjustable inlet gate on each of these lines and an outlet fluidically connected to the inlet of the engine to prevent ice accretion in the inlet or de-ice the inlet. The fuel source is configured to provide fuel to the mixing unit to actuate the adjustable inlet gates to regulate the amounts of low pressure bleed air and high pressure bleed air directed to the outlet.

摘要: A vane assembly includes a casing, vanes, and an actuator assembly. The vanes are arranged within the casing and are rotatably coupled to the casing for rotation relative thereto and configured to rotate about their pitch axes. The actuator assembly is arranged radially outward of the casing and includes an annular ring surrounding the casing and coupled to the vanes, a magnet arranged on the ring, and a stator spaced apart from the magnet. The ring is configured to rotate the vanes about their pitch axes in response to rotation of the ring about the central axis and the stator is configured to selectively rotate the magnet and ring about the central axis. The stator is configured to create a magnetic field which causes annular movement of the ring via interaction with the magnet.

摘要: A gas turbine engine comprises a primary fan and an engine core. The primary fan is mounted for rotation about an axis of the gas turbine engine to provide thrust. The engine core is coupled to the primary fan and configured to drive the primary fan about the axis to cause the fan to push air to provide thrust for the gas turbine engine.
