  • Patent number: 11959390
    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This engine assembly includes a bladed rotor rotatable about an axis, and an engine case. The engine case includes an outer duct wall, a first circumferential stiffener, a second circumferential stiffener and a plurality of axial stiffeners. The outer duct wall forms a shroud around the bladed rotor. The first circumferential stiffener extends circumferentially about the outer duct wall. The second circumferential stiffener extends circumferentially about the outer duct wall. The axial stiffeners are arranged circumferentially about the outer duct wall. Each of the axial stiffeners extends axially between the first circumferential stiffener and the second circumferential stiffener.

  • Publication number: 20230383667
    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This gas turbine engine assembly includes a seal carrier, a seal land, a seal ring, a plate and a fastener. The seal carrier has an annular groove and extends between a first side and a second side. The seal land is opposite the annular groove. The seal ring seals a gap between the seal carrier and the seal land. The seal ring is seated in the annular groove. The plate is at the second side of the seal carrier. The fastener includes a head and an elongated member connected to the head. The head is at the first side of the seal carrier. The elongated member projects out from the head through the seal carrier, the seal ring and the plate. The elongated member is bonded to the plate.

  • Publication number: 20230296033
    Abstract: A service tube assembly comprises a service tube having a threaded end portion and a shoulder. The outer shoulder has a conical surface converging in a direction away from the threaded end portion. The threaded end portion is threadably engaged with a mating part. The mating part has a seat surface which cooperates with the shoulder of the service tube to form a conical seat. The assembly further includes a locking member having an outer conical surface complementary to the conical seat. A mechanical fastener is provided for releasably holding the locking member against the conical seat.

  • Patent number: 11578618
    Abstract: A service tube assembly comprises a service tube having a threaded end portion and a ratchet hub spaced from the threaded end portion. The threaded end portion of the service tube is threadably engaged with a mating part. The assembly further comprises a locking member having a cantilever extending from a fixed end held relative to the mating part to a free end. A ratchet pawl is provided at the free end for engagement with the ratchet hub on the service tube.

  • Patent number: 9913407
    Abstract: The vertical data center module is a multistory compact footprint data center unit that exploits vertical air movements, both downward and upward, to efficiently sustain conventional low-cost air-cooled computing systems. It integrates a hybrid cooling system that can benefit from an air-side economizer without compromising its compact footprint. For polluted urban environments, this air-side economizer comprises an air-to-air heat exchanger to effectively limit the amount of outside air that can enter the module and come into contact with sensitive computing systems. Through side-to-side, side-to-back or back-to-back juxtaposition, multiple units can be assembled in clusters on a colocation site to create large-scale vertical data center complexes, effectively maximizing real estate use and cost effectiveness by fully exploiting all three dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20160076265
    Abstract: A data center module is a data center that can be prefabricated using generally standardized off-the-shelf components, and quickly assembled on a collocation site where a shared central facility is provided. The data center module is typically configured to be deployed with other identical data center modules around the central facility both in side-to-side and/or in back-to-back juxtapositions, typically without the need for interleaving space between adjacent modules in order to maximize real estate use. Each data center module typically comprises harden party walls, several floors for accommodating all the necessary electrical and cooling subsystems and for accommodating all the computing machinery (e.g. servers). Though all the data center modules share similar physical configuration, each data center module can be independently customized and operated to accommodate different needs.
