  • Gas turbine engine compressor impeller cooling air sinks
    Patent number: 10830144
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes devices, systems, and methods for providing bleed air from the compressor impeller to the turbine for cooling and/or other use. The bleed air may include compressor cooling air that is routed through the diffuser and external to an outer bypass duct and/or internally to a forward wheel cavity of the turbine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2020
    Assignee: Rolls-Royce North American Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: Tony A. Lambert, Behram V. Kapadia, Ron Hall
  • Gas turbine engine with cooling air system
    Patent number: 10544740
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine including an engine core and a cooling air system is disclosed herein. The cooling air system is fluidly coupled between a compressor section of the engine core and a turbine section of the engine core to conduct pressurized air from the compressor section to the turbine section to cool components of the turbine section.
