Abstract
An assembly includes a gas turbine engine component and a plate. The plate is spaced from a surface of the component and generally conforms to the shape of the surface. The plate and component form a passageway that allows for passage of a secondary gas flow between the component and the plate.
Claims14
An assembly comprising:
- a gas turbine engine component;
- and
- a plate spaced from a surface of the component and generally conforming to the shape of the surface, wherein the plate and the component form a passageway that allows for passage of a secondary gas flow between the component and the plate, and wherein the plate has a plurality of standoffs that contact the surface of the component to space the plate from the surface.
An assembly for a gas turbine engine, comprising:
- an outer radial casing;
- and
- a plate attached to the outer radial casing and extending along and generally conforming with a surface of the casing to form a passageway that allows for a secondary gas flow between the casing and the plate, and wherein the plate has a plurality of standoffs that contact the surface of the casing to space the plate from the surface.
An assembly for a gas turbine engine, comprising:
- a first casing;
- a fairing disposed within the casing to form a main gas flow path for the gas turbine engine, wherein the fairing has a rib that extends therefrom;
- and
- a plate mounted to the rib and extending along a surface of a component to form a passageway therealong, wherein the passageway allows for a secondary gas flow between the component and the plate, and wherein the rib has one or more apertures therein that allow the secondary air to flow into the passageway between the plate and the fairing.
