Abstract
A mounting system for mounting an air-cooled device to a mount, the device having a mounting flange and a cooling air outlet radially inward of an outer periphery of the device, the mounting flange adapted to cooperate with the mount, where the mounting system has a cooling air exhaust collection shroud adapted to surround the device and at least a portion of the mount, the shroud having a discharge outlet.
Claims8
A gas turbine engine comprising:
- an air-cooled device having:
- an outer periphery;
- a mounting flange;
- and a cooling air outlet, wherein the mounting flange and the cooling air outlet are disposed adjacent one another and wherein the mounting flange and a cooling air outlet are radially inward of the outer periphery of the air-cooled device, the mounting flange being spaced a distance from a remainder of the air-cooled device;
- a mount on the engine, the mount adapted to connect with the mounting flange radially inward of the outer periphery of the air-cooled device, wherein a peripheral recess is defined relative to the outer periphery of the device when the mount and mounting flange are connected;
- a securing assembly adapted to connect the mounting flange to the mount;
- a cooling air exhaust collection shroud adapted to surround and substantially cover the peripheral recess, the shroud having an air discharge outlet communicating with the cooling air outlet of the air-cooled device, the shroud having a periphery generally aligned with the outer periphery of the air-cooled device.
