Method And Apparatus For Trim Balancing A Gas Turbine Engine

View page
US Patent:
55450105, Aug 13, 1996
Filed:
May 13, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/060625
Inventors:
Philip J. Cederwall - San Diego CA
Garrett P. Prins - San Diego CA
Vern V. Leuven - San Diego CA
Assignee:
Solar Turbines Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F01D 2504
US Classification:
416145
Abstract:
Trim balancing of rotating components in the past has increased manufacturing cost. In many past applications, the time and energy required to trim balance rotating components required partial disassembly of an outer case or structure member. The present trim balancing system allows the gas turbine engine to be balanced with the outer case in situ. Access to a rotating component from the exterior of the case is made possible by a compressor air flow path and a pair of holes. The balancing can be accomplished by adding or removing weights or plugs to a band assembled on the rotating component.

US Patent:
20200300110, Sep 24, 2020
Filed:
Mar 21, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/360744
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Michael Theodore Austin - Murrieta CA, US
Matthew Novaresi - San Diego CA, US
James Maleski - San Diego CA, US
John Francis Lorentzen - El Cajon CA, US
Manuel Iribe-Moreno - San Diego CA, US
Garrett Prins - Poway CA, US
Keith Levon Harrell - El Cajon CA, US
Assignee:
Solar Turbines Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F01D 11/08
F01D 9/04
F01D 25/24
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a seal strip assembly for a sealing strip slot to reduce air leakage between gas turbine nozzle segments. The seal strip assembly includes a bimetal element and a backing plate. The bimetal element includes a first layer with a first thermal coefficient of thermal expansion and a second layer with a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The second coefficient of thermal expansion is lower than the first coefficient of thermal expansion allowing the bimetal element to expand with an increase in surrounding temperature.

US Patent:
20160281517, Sep 29, 2016
Filed:
Mar 26, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/669902
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Garrett P. Prins - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Solar Turbines Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F01D 9/04
F01D 25/12
Abstract:
A nozzle segment for a turbine nozzle of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The nozzle segment includes an upper endwall, a lower endwall spaced apart from the upper endwall, a pressure portion, and a suction portion. The pressure portion extends between the upper endwall and the lower endwall adjacent a first side of the nozzle segment. The suction portion is spaced apart from the pressure portion and extends between the upper endwall and the lower endwall adjacent a second side of the nozzle segment. The second side is opposite the first side.

US Patent:
20140271205, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Mar 12, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/796765
Inventors:
- San Diego CA, US
Daniel Martinez - San Diego CA, US
Garrett P. Prins - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
SOLAR TURBINES INCORPORATED - San Diego CA
International Classification:
F01D 11/00
US Classification:
416193 A, 277558
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine turbine disk assembly includes a turbine disk, turbine blades, and pin seals. Each turbine blade includes a platform with a pressure side seal slot extending into a pressure side of the platform and a suction side seal slot extending into a suction side of the platform. The pressure side seal slot and the suction side seal slot are each angled between three and ten degrees in the radial direction relative to the axis of the turbine disk. The pin seal includes a cylindrical shape and is located within a seal slot formed from the pressure side seal slot and the suction side seal slot of adjacent turbine blades.
