Abstract
A gas turbine engine system includes an enclosure, a compressor assembly located at least partially within the enclosure, and a bleed-duct joint. The compressor assembly includes a compressor and a bleed-air collector having a bleed-air manifold configured to receive a portion of air compressed by the compressor and a bleed-air duct extending through an aperture in the enclosure to direct the portion of the air outside of the enclosure. The bleed-air duct includes a first pipe coupled to the compressor for movement with the compressor and a second pipe extending through the aperture in the first wall and arranged around the first pipe. The bleed-duct joint is configured to couple the bleed-air duct with the enclosure to locate the second pipe relative to the first pipe.
