Claims24
A turbine rotor for an Air Cycle Machine comprising:
- a hub with a multiple turbine blades which extend therefrom, each of said multiple of turbine blades defined by a set of X-coordinates, Y-coordinates and Z-coordinates in any of Table B-1 and B-2 scaled by a desired factor or Table S-1 and S-2 scaled by a desired factor, said X-coordinate is the tangential direction, said Y-coordinate is the axial direction, and said Z-coordinate is the radial direction.
A turbine rotor for an Air Cycle Machine comprising:
- a hub with a multiple turbine blades which extend therefrom, each of said multiple of turbine blades have a tip contour defined by a set of points in Table C-1 scaled by a desired factor, said set of points include paired axial dimension K from a centerline of the turbine rotor and a radial dimension J from a reference surface.
