  • Patent number: 8998583
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component providing a gas flow passage is provided, which gas flow passage surrounds an inner passage surface, an outer passage surface forming an outer delimitation of said gas flow passage. In an aspect, the trace of the inner passage surface in a cross-section perpendicular to a central axis of the component presents at least one substantially straight portion. In another aspect, where a plurality of circumferentially spaced blades extends between the inner and outer passage surfaces, two portions of the trace, in a cross-section perpendicular to a central axis of the component, of the outer passage surface between two adjacent blades are substantially straight and oriented in an angle in relation to each other so as to form a concavity in the gas flow passage.

  • Publication number: 20130028718
    Abstract: A strut is provided for being arranged between an annular inner structural casing and an annular outer structural casing in a gas turbine engine frame for carrying loads between the inner and outer structural casing during operation. The strut includes a first tube, which is configured to house a service line or pipe between the inner and outer structural casing. The strut includes a second tube, which is configured to house a fastening element for rigidly connecting the inner and outer structural casing. The first and second tube are arranged in a side-by-side relationship and rigidly attached to each other.

  • Publication number: 20100146980
    Abstract: A masking arrangement for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of annular elements arranged overlapping one another when these are viewed in an axial direction so as to mask at least a substantial portion of any interior hot and rotating gas turbine engine part at an aft end of the gas turbine engine from rear view when the masking arrangement is applied downstream the interior part in the gas turbine engine.

  • Publication number: 20070012046
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gas turbine intermediate structure (14) for being arranged between a first and a second gas turbine structure (8 and 9) in an axial direction (18) of a gas turbine (1). The intermediate structure (14) comprises an gas duct (5c) arranged for guiding a gas flow from a gas duct (5a) in the first structure (8) to a gas duct (5b) in the second structure (9). An inlet (19) of the intermediate structure gas duct (5c) is substantially displaced in a radial direction in relation to an outlet (20) of the intermediate structure gas duct (5c). At least one guide vane (28,29) is arranged in the intermediate structure gas duct (5c) for guiding the gas flow.
