A diffuser and deswirl system associated with an engine includes a throat ring defining a plurality of passages spaced apart about a perimeter of the throat ring, a plurality of pockets and a support flange. Each passage of the plurality of passages is to receive a working fluid and each pocket of the plurality of pockets is defined about a portion of a respective passage of the plurality of passages. The diffuser and deswirl system includes a plurality of conduits, with each conduit including a first conduit end and a second conduit end opposite the first conduit end. The first conduit end of each conduit is received within and coupled to the pocket of a respective one of the plurality of passages to receive the working fluid, and each conduit includes a mating feature defined between the first conduit end and the second conduit end coupled to the support flange.

Diffuser and deswirl system with integral tangential onboard injector for engine

A diffuser and deswirl flow structure includes a plurality of tube structures with an outer wall that is hollow and elongate and that extends between a first portion and a second portion. The plurality of tube structures is disposed in an annular arrangement about the longitudinal axis. The flow structure also includes a plurality of flow passages extending through the tube structures. The plurality of flow passages extend from the first portion to the second portion, respectively. The plurality of flow passages respectfully include a diffuser portion, which is proximate the first portion and configured to diffuse a fluid flow from a compressor wheel. The plurality of flow passages respectfully include a deswirl portion, which is proximate the second portion and configured to deswirl the fluid flow from the diffuser portion. The outer wall defines the diffuser portion and the deswirl portion. The outer wall is self-supporting.

Monolithic diffuser and deswirl flow structure for gas turbine engine

A system for delivering a flow stream of a gas to a compressor. A shroud extends from an inlet to the compressor and defines a main inlet passage configured to direct the flow stream from the inlet to the compressor. A communication plenum is separated from the main inlet passage. A port system includes first and second port subsystems that each provide an opening between the main inlet passage and the communication plenum. The first port subsystem is disposed further from the compressor than the second port subsystem. The port system is configured so that a portion of the gas enters or exits the compressor through the second port subsystem, depending on operating conditions of the compressor.

Ported shroud system for turboprop inlets

A turboprop engine system for an aircraft includes an engine, a propeller, and a gear train coupled to and configured to provide power from the engine to the propeller at a predetermined gear reduction. The engine system also includes a gearbox that houses at least part of the gear train. The gearbox includes a gearbox flow structure and an inlet flow structure that is removably attached to the gearbox. The inlet flow structure and the gearbox flow structure cooperate to define an inlet flow passage to the engine. The inlet flow passage has an upstream end and a downstream end that are cooperatively defined by the inlet flow structure and the gearbox flow structure. The upstream end is configured to receive an airstream that is directed along the inlet flow passage to the downstream end and toward the engine.
