Patent number: 10428689Abstract: A subassembly of a gas turbine engine includes a heat shield and carrier subassembly for a turbine section are disclosed. The carrier includes support features to couple to an engine casing. The upstream end of the carrier includes a radially inward arm extending toward to an engine axis. The outer end of the radially floating heat shield is coupled to the radially inward arm via a pin-and-slot joint configured to allow movement of the heat shield relative to the radially inward arm of the carrier. In response to thermal expansion and contraction of the vane, the heat shield is configured to move radially outward and inward, respectively, relative to the radially inward arm to maintain contact with the outer platform of the vane.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE DEUTSCHLAND LTD & CO KGInventor: Marcel Schmidt

Publication number: 20190071996Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing heat exposure of a turbine casing in a gas turbine engine may be provided. The system may include a blade track coupled with a turbine casing with a clip. The system may further include a nozzle guide vane coupled to the turbine casing. A cavity may be formed by an end of the blade track, the clip, and a portion of the nozzle guide vane. A heat shield may be positioned between the clip and the end of the blade track in the cavity such that an edge of the heat shield and the portion of the nozzle guide vane form a gap. The heat shield and the nozzle guide vane may be positioned such that the gap closes in response to the heat shield and the nozzle guide vane thermally expanding.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Applicant: Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co.

Patent number: 9919743Abstract: A motor vehicle front end crash-load carrying structure has at least one side rail on each side of the vehicle extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction, an A-pillar extending upward from the side rail, and a reinforcement extending between the A-pillar and the side rail. The reinforcement is made up of a longitudinally-extending rear element fixed to the A-pillar and extending forward therefrom outboard of the side rail, and a transversely-extending forward element fixed to and extending inboard from a forward end of the rear element, an inboard end of the forward element abutting an outboard surface of the side rail. The rear element extends substantially parallel with a vehicle longitudinal axis and defines a concave-downward wheel arch. The rear element may include an engineered bending site adjacent to a joint between the rear element and the forward element. The reinforcement may be supported on a suspension mount.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Marcel Schmidt, Heiko Wuestner

Patent number: 9058906Abstract: A fuel element storage and cooling configuration includes a fuel element storage pool and a cooling system having at least one first heat exchanger disposed in the fuel element storage pool and at least one second heat exchanger disposed in a heat sink and located at a distance therefrom, above a highest point of the first heat exchanger. The two heat exchangers are connected, using a pipe system, to form a closed circuit, which is at least partially filled with a flowable coolant. If the temperature of the first heat exchanger is increased with respect to the second heat exchanger, natural circulation of the coolant, and thus heat transport from the fuel element storage pool to the heat sink, is ensured without a pump apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2011Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Germany GmbHInventors: Marcel Schmidt, Daniel Freis, Norbert Haspel
