Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a rotor bore and a bore basket. The bore basket extends axially between a first and second axial ends. The bore basket includes an engagement panel, and cylindrical inner and outer radial panels. The inner and outer radial panels extend substantially between the first and second axial ends. The inner radial panel is disposed radially inside of and separated from the outer radial panel, defining an annular passage disposed there between. The bore basket includes a plurality of inlet apertures in fluid communication with the annular passage at a first axial position, and a plurality of exit apertures in fluid communication with the annular passage at a second axial position. The second axial end of the bore basket is attached to an inner radial hub of the rotor bore, and the rotor bore and bore basket are a unitary structure.
