Abstract
A transfer tube system for connecting between a compressor and a bleed unit of a turbomachine includes a valve assembly with at least one inlet. The valve assembly is disposed to control bleed air flow from the compressor through a bleed system. A strut envelopes an interior space and extends between the compressor and the valve assembly. A bleed tube conduit is connected between the port/compressor and the inlet/valve assembly to convey gas between the compressor and the valve assembly. The conduit passes through the interior space of the strut and includes a pair of bellows disposed in the interior space. Between the bellows, the conduit has a central section with a non-circular shaped cross section to enable minimizing the width of the strut.
