US Classification:

415108, 415175
Abstract:

A turbine includes: a plurality of turbine blades arranged within a casing, the arrangement including a clearance between tips of the blades and the casing; a plurality of manifolds disposed proximate to the casing opposite the clearance, wherein each of the manifolds includes a plurality of impingement holes in the surface thereof; a source of clearance information; and a source of cooling air for supplying cooling air through a plurality of flow control devices to selected ones of the manifolds according to the clearance information. A system and a method are also provided.

Extruded Fluid Manifold For Gas Turbomachine Combustor Casing
view source
US Patent:

8590315, Nov 26, 2013
Filed:

Jun 1, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/791341
Inventors:

Brandon Taylor Overby - Greenville SC, US
Jason Allen Seale - Simpsonville SC, US
Ibrahim Ucok - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:

F02C 1/00
US Classification:

60752
Abstract:

A turbomachine includes a compressor, a turbine, and a combustor operatively coupled to the compressor and the turbine. The combustor includes a combustor casing having a flange, an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an internal passage. The combustor casing includes an extruded fluid manifold mounted to the outer surface. The extruded fluid manifold includes first and second walls integrally formed with a third, connecting, wall. The first wall includes a first mounting element and the second wall includes a second mounting element. The first mounting element extends axially along the combustor casing away from the first wall and the second mounting element extends axially along the combustor casing away from the second wall and the first mounting element. The extruded fluid manifold is joined to the outer surface of the combustor casing through the first and second mounting elements.
