  • Publication number: 20240352890
    Abstract: The pump can have a support having a guide extending around an axis, a radial position of the guide relative the axis varying around the axis, and a first oil passage formed in the support; a rotary assembly mounted to the support via support bearings, and rotatable around the axis, the rotary assembly having a second oil passage and a cylinder, the cylinder extending radially relative the axis, an inlet port fluidly connecting the first oil passage to the cylinder, and an outlet port fluidly connecting the cylinder to the second oil passage, and a piston slidingly mounted in the cylinder, a radially-outer end of the piston further slidingly engaged with the guide.

  • Publication number: 20240328349
    Abstract: A combustor assembly for a turbine engine includes a combustor assembly where a first combustion space is defined between a first closed end of a combustion chamber and a first piston, a second combustion space is defined between a second closed end of the combustion chamber and a second piston and a center combustion space is defined between the first piston and the second piston. An air inlet assembly provides for communication of inlet air to the first combustion space, the second combustion space and the center combustion space. First, second and center injectors are provided to inject fuel into a corresponding one of the first combustion space, the second combustion space, and the center combustion space. An exhaust outlet communicates an exhaust gas flow generated in each of the first combustion space, the second combustion space and the center combustion space to a turbine section.

  • Publication number: 20210017876
    Abstract: The centrifugal compressor can have a shroud engaged to a case via a plurality of circumferentially interspaced slots and lugs, the slots extending in at least one of a radial direction and an axial direction relative to a rotation axis of the compressor, the lugs slidingly received in a corresponding slot and configured for sliding in the slot in response to thermal growth of the case relative to the shroud.
