  • Publication number: 20230296032
    Abstract: A turbine arrangement includes a turbine rotor arrangement, a turbine seal arrangement and a turbine outlet stator vane arrangement. Turbine rotor arrangement includes a rotor and a plurality of turbine blades that extend radially. Each turbine blade has a turbine shroud. Turbine seal arrangement is spaced radially around the turbine shrouds. Turbine outlet stator vane arrangement includes radially inner and outer annular members arranged coaxially and a plurality of vanes extending radially between the radially inner and outer annular members. The vanes are arranged downstream of the turbine blades. Liner is spaced radially inwardly from a radially inner surface of the annular member to define a chamber. Turbine shrouds and the upstream end of the liner are arranged such that in operation any leakage flow of gas between the turbine shrouds and the turbine seal arrangement flows into the chamber to manage the temperature of the radially outer annular member.

  • Publication number: 20220412224
    Abstract: A sealing structure for a gas turbine engine including a plurality of cells connected to each other is provided. Each cell includes a plurality of walls and the plurality of walls defines a polygonal shape therebetween in a cell plane. The polygonal shape includes a plurality of edges and a plurality of vertices defining a cell area in the cell plane. Each wall is shared by two adjacent cells such that each wall defines corresponding edges of the two adjacent cells. Each cell is connected to a set of adjacent cells at corresponding vertices, such that each cell and the set of adjacent cells form a plurality of connections at the corresponding vertices. The plurality of connections forms a total overlap area between each cell and the set of adjacent cells. The total overlap area is less than or equal to 10% of the cell area.

  • Patent number: 11506072
    Abstract: A blade assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor, a stator, a seal plate, and a sealing member. The rotor includes a rotor blade and a rotor disc. The rotor disc defines a bucket groove which receives a cooling fluid from a first cavity upstream of the rotor. The sealing member includes a control arm. The sealing member and the rotor define a flow cavity therebetween in fluid communication with an aperture of the seal plate. The flow cavity receives the cooling fluid flowing through the bucket groove and the aperture. The control arm and the seal plate define a gap therebetween fluidly communicating the flow cavity with a second cavity between the stator and the rotor. The control arm deflects at least a portion of the cooling fluid entering the flow cavity.
