A surface cooler configured to be operably coupled to an aircraft fan casing includes a body having a first surface configured to confront the aircraft fan casing and a second surface opposite the first surface, multiple fluid passages located within the body, and a set of fins located on at least the second surface of the body.

Surface cooler assembly

A turbine engine for an aircraft can includes a casing. The casing can be a fan casing surrounding a fan assembly for drawing air into the turbine engine. The fan casing can have a peripheral wall. A surface cooler can be provided in the turbine engine confronting the peripheral wall of the fan casing. The surface cooler can have a mounting bracket for mounting the surface cooler to the fan casing.

Fan casing and mount bracket for oil cooler

A surface cooler configured to be operably coupled to an aircraft fan casing and having a first surface configured to confront a peripheral wall of an aircraft fan casing and a second surface opposite the first surface, a set of fluid passages internal to the body and a set of fins located on at least a portion of the second surface of the body.

Surface cooler and method of forming

A fan casing assembly for a turbine engine including a fan casing having a peripheral wall, a surface cooler having a first surface confronting the peripheral wall and a mounting assembly having a lower portion generally retained between the first surface of the annular surface cooler and the peripheral wall and having a floating body extending through the set of fan casing fastener openings and an upper portion located radially exterior of the annular fan casing and operably coupled to the lower portion.

Mounting assembly and fan casing assembly

A heat exchanger including a manifold body having at least one fluid passage, a cooling passage section having a body including a set of fluid passages extending through at least a portion of the cooling passage section, and a weld joint fluidly sealing the manifold body and the cooling passage such that at least one of the set of fluid passages is fluidly coupled to the at least one fluid passage of the manifold body and methods of forming.

Heat exchanger and methods of forming

A surface cooler assembly includes at least one surface cooler comprising surface cooler hook rails extending circumferentially the length of the surface cooler and including axially extending and radially extending portions. The surface cooler assembly also includes at least one support bracket comprising bracket hook rails extending circumferentially the length of the support bracket and including axially extending and radially extending portions. The support bracket and surface cooler are contoured in a circumferential direction. Each of the surface cooler hook rails contacts a bracket hook rail.

Integral preloaded formed bracket for attachment of heat exchangers

A turbine engine with a casing including opposing surfaces and a manifold opening passing through the surfaces. A surface cooler is provided adjacent one of the surfaces. A cooler manifold passes through the manifold opening. A seal is provided between the surface cooler and the casing. At least one bolt is used to secure the surface cooler to the casing with the seal in between.

Turbine engine thermal seal

A fan casing assembly for a turbine engine including a casing having an annular fan cooler. The annular fan cooler includes first and second connection assemblies to fix movement of the fan cooler during engine operation, while permitting circumferential thermal growth of the fan cooler without suffering from high cycle fatigue.

Turbine engine cooler assembly

A fan casing assembly for a turbine engine including a fan casing having a peripheral wall, a surface cooler having a first surface confronting the peripheral wall and forward and aft projections, which are radially spaced from the first surface and located between the peripheral wall and the first surface, and a mounting bracket to mount the surface cooler to the fan casing and a method of mounting a surface cooler to a fan casing of a turbine engine.

Fan casing assemblies and method of mounting a cooler to a fan casing

A method of assembling a heat exchanger in a gas turbine engine assembly is provided. The method includes providing a structural body including a wall having an elongated slot, providing a heat exchanger operably associated with a bracket, and providing a slip joint for coupling the bracket to the structural body. The slip joint includes a standoff, an elongated member, and a biasing member disposed about the elongated member. The standoff is inserted through the wall so that the biasing member imparts a predetermined biasing force between the bracket and the structural body. The slip joint allows relative sliding movement between the bracket and the structural body when a sliding force due to thermal expansion or contraction is greater than the biasing force.
