Latest Patents

One of Wiehe's latest patents involves a sealing assembly for components penetrating through a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) liner. This innovative sealing system is designed for fuel ignition assemblies in gas turbine engine combustion sections. The system includes a ferrule positioned on the outer surface of the CMC combustor liner, with an aperture defined in the liner. A sleeve is positioned within an adapter of the fuel ignition assembly, ensuring that an inner end portion of the sleeve contacts the ferrule. The sleeve features an end wall that forms an inner boundary of a cavity defined by the sleeve. A biasing member is positioned within this cavity, extending between a bushing and the end wall of the sleeve. This biasing member continuously urges the sleeve into contact with the ferrule, effectively sealing the aperture against fluid leakage. This exemplary sealing system plays a crucial role in the functionality of gas turbine engine combustion sections.
