  • Air turbine starter with primary and secondary air flow paths
    Patent number: 11624323
    Abstract: An air turbine starter that includes a housing. The housing can circumscribe a turbine coupled that is coupled to a gear train in a gear box via a drive shaft. A primary air flow path is defined between a primary inlet and a primary outlet. Air in the primary air flow path can flow into a secondary air flow path or rotate the turbine, that converts energy from the air flow to rotational mechanical energy. Air in the secondary air flow path can pass through at least a first cavity and first passage before rejoining the primary air flow or joining ambient air.

  • AIR TURBINE STARTER WITH NOZZLE RETENTION MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20220065169
    Abstract: An air turbine starter having a housing defining an interior with a primary inlet and a primary outlet to define a primary air flow path from the primary inlet to the primary outlet. A nozzle is located within the interior and has circumferentially spaced vanes. A shroud is also located within the interior and circumscribes at least a portion of the vanes. A retention mechanism constrains the axial movement of nozzle.
