  • Hybrid vane island diffuser
    Patent number: 7025566
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine diffuser comprises a bowl-shaped diffuser casing and a cover nested into the bowl-shaped diffuser casing and cooperating therewith in defining a diffuser passage having a channeled entry portion in fluid flow communication with a vaned exit portion via a vaneless intermediate portion. The channeled entry portion is divided into an array of inlet flowpaths by a first set of vanes. Likewise, the vaned exit portion is divided into an array of outlet flowpaths by a second set of vanes.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 11, 2006
    Assignee: Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.
    Inventors: Ioan Sasu, Doug Roberts, Oleg Morenko
  • Combustor attachment with rotational joint
    Patent number: 7024863
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine with: a compressor section; a turbine section; a combustor, disposed between the compressor and turbine sections, having at least one combustor mounting assembly connecting the combustor to the engine. Each combustor mounting assembly has: a longitudinal axis; and an articulating joint having a first and second portion constrained from relative translation transverse to the longitudinal axis, and where said first and second portion have a multiple rotational degrees of freedom relative to each other about axes transverse to the longitudinal axis.
