摘要:
Systems and methods for stable operation of a compressor of a gas turbine engine include axial stages, each including a series of rotor blades. A centrifugal stage has a centrifugal impeller disposed downstream from the axial stages. Air flows through the compressor first through the axial stages and then through the centrifugal stage. Each respective axial stage includes mechanisms for the avoidance of certain operating conditions of the compressor such as surge. The mechanisms include variable vane sets disposed upstream from a series of the rotor blades or a bleed port or ports around the respective axial stage downstream from the series of rotor blades to selectively extract air from the respective axial stage.

An auxiliary power unit (10) for an aircraft (1) comprises a gas turbine engine comprising an engine core (12). The engine core comprises a core compressor (14) and core turbine (18) coupled by a core shaft (24). The auxiliary power unit further comprises a load spool comprising a load compressor (30), a load turbine (20) and a permanent magnet electric machine (28), each being coupled by a load shaft (26). The load shaft (26) and core shaft (24) are configured to rotate independently of one another.

There is provided a load transfer interface in an aircraft engine for transferring a load from a bearing housing to an engine casing. The load transfer interface comprises a first component operatively coupled to and receiving the load from the bearing housing. The first component has a first annular body with a spigot extending axially from the first annular body. The interface comprises a second component operatively coupled to the first component and to the engine casing. The second component has a second annular body with a spigot-receiving cavity disposed therein. The spigot-receiving cavity is shaped and positioned to receive the spigot of the first component. The second component receives the load from the first component and transfers the load to the engine casing.

A compressor arrangement has a common shaft, an axial compressor having at least a single-stage, and a radial compressor having at least single-stage. Assemblies of the, or each, axial compressor stage on the rotor side and assemblies of the, or each, radial compressor stage on the rotor side are attached to a common shaft (4). A ratio between a maximum diameter of the shaft (4) in the region of the axial compressor (2) and a minimum radial impeller seat diameter of the shaft (4) in the region of the radial compressor (3) is between 1.5 and 3.0.

Embodiments of an impeller shroud support for disposition around an impeller are provided, as are embodiments of gas turbine engine including impeller shroud supports. In one embodiment, the impeller shroud support includes a shroud body, a support arm joined to and extending around the shroud body, and a plurality of Mid-Impeller Bleed (MIB) flow passages. Each MIB flow passage includes, in turn, an inlet formed in the shroud body and configured to receive bleed air extracted from the impeller, a throat portion, an outlet formed in the support arm and through which the bleed air is discharged, and a curved intermediate section between the inlet and the outlet. During usage of the impeller shroud support, the curved intermediate section turns the bleed air flowing through the MIB passage in a radially outward direction prior to discharge from the outlet of the MIB flow passage.

A foil bearing includes an outer member (11), and a plurality of foils (13) that are mounted to an inner circumferential surface (11a) of the outer member (11) and directly face the inner circumferential surface (11a) of the outer member (11) in a radial direction without interposition of another member (such as back foils). The foils (13) each include: holding portions (13a, 13b) that are formed at both circumferential ends and held while in contact with the outer member (11); and a body portion (13c) that is formed circumferentially between the holding portions (13a, 13b) and has a bearing surface (A). At least an end portion on one side in a circumferential direction of the body portion (13c) is raised radially inward with respect to the inner circumferential surface (11a) of the outer member (11).

An attachment arrangement at a middle of a cover having an elastically deformable portion. The cover includes a concave shell including an inner surface spaced apart from the compressor including an impeller including blades by an attachment. The attachment includes one connection end at the middle of the shell, another end attached to a casing of the turbine engine, and an axisymmetric diaphragm having a generally frusto-conical configuration having an arm profile coupled to the end for attachment to the casing by a double-elbow joint having right and obtuse angles when in a rest position. The distance between the inner surface of the shell and upper edges of the blades can be held constant during operation with minimum clearance adjustment. The cover can be moved such that clearance between the cover and blades of the compressor impeller remains substantially constant and as low as possible.
