  • Additively manufactured fin slots for thermal growth
    Patent number: 10845132
    Abstract: A core arrangement for a heat exchanger includes a first core layer. The first core layer includes first upstream and downstream ends, first and second parting sheets parallel to one another, and a plurality of adjacent fins disposed between the first and second parting sheets. Each of the plurality of fins extends from a surface of the first parting sheet to a surface of the second parting sheet, and longitudinally between the first upstream end and the first downstream end. The plurality of fins are further laterally arranged to define a plurality of first fluid passages. Each of a subset of the plurality of fins includes an internal slot positioned away from the first upstream end and the first downstream end.

  • Alignment and positioning system for installing a fuel injector in a gas turbine engine
    Publication number: 20050223709
    Abstract: A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine is disclosed wherein the engine has an engine case that includes a reception bore for accommodating the fuel injector, and wherein the fuel injector includes a fuel inlet fitting having an annular mounting flange defining opposed upper and lower end surfaces and a cylindrical body portion which depends axially from the lower end surface of the mounting flange, the inlet fitting having integrally formed alignment structure located beneath the lower end surface of the mounting flange for guiding the fuel injector into an installed position within the reception bore of the engine case.
