Compressor for an engine

Described is a connecting device () for a variable vane () of a gas turbine (), in particular of an aircraft gas turbine, the connecting device including a trunnion element () connected to a respective vane (); a lever element () connected to the trunnion element (), the lever element () and the trunnion element () being movable together about a trunnion axis of rotation (ZD). It is provided that the lever element () and the trunnion element () be aligned with each other by a positioning element (), the positioning element () being received in a trunnion receptacle () and a lever receptacle ().

Connecting device for a variable vane of a gas turbine

Disclosed is a lever linkage for the rotationally fixed connection of a guide vane to a lever of a guide vane adjusting device of a turbomachine, wherein the guide vane has a vane shaft, which extends along a vertical axis. In accordance with the invention, the lever is formed in one piece at a radially outer end of an essentially hollow cylindrical clamping sleeve, which coaxially surrounds the vane shaft in sections, and the vane shaft and the clamping sleeve are coupled by way of a longitudinal side form-fitting connection or a front-end form-fitting connection, and the vane shaft can be tensioned with the clamping sleeve along the vertical axis by means of a fastening element, in particular a threaded nut. In consequence thereof, a separation of two different force flows that act on the guide vanes is obtained, as a result of which local load peaks are reduced.

Guide vane connection

Disclosed is a lever connection for a guide vane adjustment for connecting a guide vane of a turbomachine to an adjusting ring of an actuator, which is arranged in such a way that an adjusting lever of the lever connection is pushed radially from a first mounting direction, in relation to a machine longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, onto a vane shaft of the guide vane, and is locked with the vane shaft in a form-fitting and, in particular, rotationally rigid manner by a movement in a second mounting direction; a mounting method; and a turbomachine.

Lever connection of a guide vane adjustment for turbomachinery

The present invention relates to a housing for a gas turbine compressor, having an operating duct for taking up several rows of rotating blades arranged one behind the other axially, wherein a wall of the operating duct has a first air bleed, wherein the housing has a cooling passage for cooling said operating duct wall by conveying air from the first air bleed to a first outlet passage for supplying at least one first bleed air consumer, wherein the first outlet passage is arranged downstream of the first air bleed, and wherein the operating duct wall has a second air bleed downstream of the first air bleed, and the housing has a discharge passage from said second air bleed to a second outlet passage for supplying at least one bleed air consumer.

Housing for a gas turbine compressor

The invention is directed to a guide vane ring for a turbomachine, in which a vane bearing is produced in the inner ring via platform plates of the vanes and reliability against disintegration is produced via journals that extend radially inward from the platform plates, as well as a turbomachine.

Guide vane ring and turbomachine

The invention relates to a module for a gas turbine comprising a rotationally symmetrical outer casing of a first material having a first linear thermal expansion coefficient, a rotationally symmetrical component for guiding hot gas of a second material having a linear thermal expansion coefficient which is lower than the first coefficient, at least one annular structure arranged radially within the component, and at least three struts having a radially inner end secured on the outer casing and a radially outer end secured on the annular structure. The component also comprises at least one first fixing which is free in radial direction and fixed in axial direction and arranged between the component and the outer casing and/or the annular structure, as well as at least three second fixings having an elastic effect in radial, axial and/or circumferential direction and being arranged between the component and the strut and/or the annular structure.

The invention relates to an inner ring system for an inlet guide vane cascade of a turbomachine. The inner ring system comprises an intermediate casing for accommodating structural loads and an inner ring, which is divided axially into a first ring segment and a second ring segment, which together form recesses for bearing radially inner end portions of guide vanes of the inlet guide vane cascade, wherein at least the second ring segment is fixed in place on the intermediate casing by screw connection. The invention further relates to an inner ring and to an intermediate casing for such an inner ring system, as well as a turbomachine that has such an inner ring system.

Inner ring system for an inlet guide vane cascade of a turbomachine

A guide vane assembly according to the invention comprises an inner ring, on whose radially outer surface an uptake channel runs in the peripheral direction; a plurality of bearing members, which are arranged in the uptake channel of the inner ring; a plurality of guide vanes, each of which is inserted by its radially inner end into one of the bearing members; and at least one sealing element for sealing at least one gap between the inner ring and at least one of the bearing members and/or between two bearing members. A turbomachine according to the invention comprises a guide vane assembly according to the invention. A method according to the invention serves for the installation of a guide vane assembly.

Seal on the inner ring of a guide vane

A blade outer air seal (BOAS) for a gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a seal body having a radially inner face and a radially outer face that axially extend between a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion. The BOAS includes a trough disposed on the radially inner face and an abradable seal received within the trough. The trough is open to expose a leading edge of the abradable seal to a core flow path of the gas turbine engine.
