COOLING AIR DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026822 titled 'COOLING AIR DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a gas turbine engine with a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in series. It also includes a diffuser cavity between the compressor section and the combustor section, as well as an aft cavity. The engine includes a compressor discharge pressure duct that draws air from the diffuser cavity, passes it through a heat exchanger to cool the air, and then supplies the cooled air to the aft cavity.
- The patent application describes a gas turbine engine with a unique cooling system.
- The engine includes a diffuser cavity and an aft cavity.
- A compressor discharge pressure duct is used to draw air from the diffuser cavity.
- The drawn air is then cooled using a heat exchanger.
- The cooled air is supplied to the aft cavity.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Gas turbine engines used in aircraft.
- Gas turbine engines used in power generation.
- Gas turbine engines used in industrial applications.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Overheating of the aft cavity in gas turbine engines.
- Improved cooling efficiency in gas turbine engines.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased engine performance and efficiency.
- Reduced risk of overheating and damage to engine components.
- Improved overall reliability and lifespan of the engine.
Original Abstract Submitted
a gas turbine engine having a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement to define a diffuser cavity between the compressor section and the combustor section, and an aft cavity. a compressor discharge pressure duct fluidly draws air from the diffuser cavity, passes it through a heat exchanger to cool the air, and then supplies the cooled air to the aft cavity.
