US Patent:
7596954, Oct 6, 2009
Filed:
Jul 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/887587
Inventors:
Allan R. Penda - Amston CT, US
Joseph C. Burge - Jupiter FL, US
Joseph C. Burge - Jupiter FL, US
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
F02C 6/08
US Classification:
60782, 4151732
Abstract:
A turbine engine has a circumferentially segmented shroud within a case structure. Each shroud segment is mounted for movement between an inboard position and an outboard position. One or more springs bias the shroud segments toward their inboard positions. One or more valves are positioned to vent one or more volumes so as to counter the spring bias to shift the shroud segments to their outboard positions.
Small Radial Profile Shroud For Variable Vane Structure In A Gas Turbine Engine
US Patent:

International Classification:
F01D 9/04, F01D 17/16
US Classification:
415160, 4152093, 2988922, 416214 A
Abstract:
A shroud for supporting a variable vane in a compressor section for a gas turbine engine includes a pair of components which are secured together by a threaded fastener extending into a blind hole in one of the two components. Additional material forms on the component which includes the blind hole extends beyond a pivot axis for the vane such that there is an increased length of engagement between the threaded fastener and the blind hole. The blind hole eliminates the need for multiple nuts and reduces the radial height of the shroud to save additional weight.

International Classification:
F03B 3/12
US Classification:
416 23, 416 24, 416 36, 416 42, 416 61, 416 97 R, 415115, 415119
Abstract:
Gas turbine engine systems involving mechanically alterable vane throat areas are provided. In this regard, a representative vane for a gas turbine engine includes: a leading edge; a trailing edge; a suction side surface extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge; a cavity having an aperture located in the suction side surface; and a barrel located within the cavity and being moveable therein such that movement of the barrel alters an extent to which the barrel protrudes through the aperture.
