  • Method and apparatus for supplying cooling air to a turbine
    Patent number: 11391176
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine that includes a turbine interstage region. The turbine interstage region is configured to conduct bore bleed air outwardly. The interstage region includes a central plenum. The interstage region also includes a first mid-seal and a second mid-seal. The central plenum is fluidly connected to bore bleed air by a flow circuit that passes between the first mid-seal and the second mid-seal.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus for supplying cooling air to a turbine
    Patent number: 10815805
    Abstract: A turbine interstage structure for a gas turbine engine that includes a first stage disk and a second stage disk. A central plenum is defined by a an inner band for supporting nozzle vanes, a forward stator plate and an aft stator plate wherein the forward stator plate is spaced-apart from the aft stator plate, and an inner boundary. A forward mid-seal positioned between the inner boundary and the forward stator plate. An aft mid-seal positioned between the inner boundary and the aft stator plate; and wherein the inner boundary is a solid annular component.
