Low Rotor Vibration Avoidance In Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines
US Patent:
5687564, Nov 18, 1997
Filed:
Dec 4, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/566846

Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
F02K 115
US Classification:
60235
Abstract:
Corrected fan speed (N1C2) and engine pressure ratio (EPR) are controlled, by controlling exhaust nozzle area (EA) according to a schedule or map so that as altitude increases (P2 decreases) the axial forces on the low rotor are sufficient to minimize low rotor vibrations. The altitude band (critical load region) is determined that produces loading levels in which vibrations appear. As this band is approached, conventional control of N1C2 and EPR is automatically over-ridden. N1C2 is decreased with altitude and exhaust area is reduced, thereby increasing the axial force (load) on the low rotor. When the upper limit of the band is reached, conventional control of N1C2 and EPR is automatically resumed, resulting in crossing the critical load region rapidly over a narrow altitude band.

International Classification:
G02C009/48
US Classification:
60773, 60 39281
Abstract:
A method of synthesizing rotor inlet temperature in a turbine comprising the steps of determining a burner fuel flow (WFGG), a burner inlet pressure (PS32), and a compressor discharge temperature (T3) of a turbine, calculating a ratio unit parameter from the burner fuel flow, the burner inlet pressure, and the compressor discharge temperature, and calculating a synthesized rotor inlet temperature from the ratio unit parameter.
