Definitions

  • This invention relates to axial flow fans/compressors of gas turbine engines and particularly to the relationship of the tips of the blades to the adjacent shroud or rub strip.
  • the tips of the compressor blades extend adjacent the surrounding shroud or rub strip that is trenched or recessed to the dimension complimentary to the outer station and tip of the blade.
  • the blades which move radially outward during engine acceleration, machine the groove. Obviously, this technique assures a close fit of the mating parts and helps in avoiding leakage around the tips of the blade.
  • a feature of the invention is to provide a slanted trench in the rub strip, shroud, or the engine case of a gas turbine engine adjacent the tips of the blades of the fan and/or compressor.
  • the contour of the blade and the inner wall as seen by the cross section of the trench is angularly disposed relative to the flow path wall.
  • This invention contemplates that the angular contour is designed to effectuate a closure in the gap between the inner wall of the trench and the tip of the blade upon displacement of the compressor and/or fan blade arising out of the growth of the materials resulting from stable speed and temperature operating conditions.
  • the invention in its preferred embodiment is illustrated for use in the lower temperature stations of a gas turbine engine and particularly in the compressor section where a soft material circumscribes the engine's inner diameter of the engine case and is abradable so as to be susceptible of being machined by the operation of the rotating blades.
  • a soft material circumscribes the engine's inner diameter of the engine case and is abradable so as to be susceptible of being machined by the operation of the rotating blades.
  • the blades at zero rotational speeds are spaced from the inner diameter of the rub strip and when accelerated to its highest operating speed, cut into the rub strip to define the trench.
  • the trench shape can be machined out prior to engine operation. What is considered the improvement by the teachings of this invention is the particular contour of the tips of the blades and its cooperating trench.
  • FIG. 1 A portion of a compression section 10 of an axial flow compressor of a gas turbine engine is illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • a flow path 16 for working medium gases extends axially through the compression section.
  • An outer wall 18 having an inwardly facing surface 20 and an inner wall 22 having an outwardly facing surface 24 form the flow path.
  • a plurality of axially spaced rows of rotor blades as represented by the single blades 26 extend outwardly from the rotor across the flow path into proximity with the outer wall.
  • Each blade has an unshrouded tip 28 and is contoured to an airfoil cross section. Accordingly, each blade has a pressure side and a suction side and, as illustrated, has an upstream end 30 and a downstream end 32.
  • Extending over the tips of each row of rotor blades is a stator seal land 34.
  • Each land has a circumferentially extending groove 36 formed therein to a depth D at an inwardly facing surface 37 thereof.
  • a plurality of rows of stator vanes represented by the single vanes 38 are cantilevered inwardly from the stator across the flow path into proximity with the inner wall.
  • Each vane which in this illustration has an unshrouded tip 40, is contoured to an airfoil section. Accordingly, each vane has a pressure side and a suction side and, as illustrated, has an upstream end 42 and a downstream end 44.
  • Extending over the tips of each row of stator vanes is a rotor seal land 46.
  • Each land has a circumferentially extending groove 48 formed therein.
  • the blade tips 26 are spaced from the inwardly facing surface 20.
  • the gap between tips and surface enables assembly of the components.
  • the rotor tips grow radially outward machining the groove 36 in the stator seal land 34.
  • the point of closest proximity of the blades to the bottom of the groove is referred to as the "pinch point * and normally occurs during a transient engine operating to a maximum speed or power condition.
  • the outer wall including the land moves both axially and radially relative to the blade tips to a position at which the blade tips and inner surface 37 define a gap.
  • Fig. 2 which is a prior art design is that the blade 50 penetration into the trench increases with operating speed and causes pumping of air against the trench vertical wall 53 which creates turbulence.
  • the turbulence as shown by arrow A essentially becomes a blockage in the flow path of the gas engine's working medium and adversely affects performance.
  • the maximum depth of blade tip penetration must be controlled to avoid unreasonable turbulence losses at the maximum operating speed. At low speed operating the blade will not penetrate into the trench and leakage can readily occur between the flow path outer wall and the blade tip.
  • the full width of the blade works on the air and has the tendency of over pressurizing this air and hence, creates the undesirable turbulence.
  • the tip of the blade is contoured to be angularly disposed relative to the gas path wall. This is best seen in Fig. 3.
  • the trench is formed to define the contour of the inner surface 37. Looking at the cross section of the trench it is apparent that the axial extension of surface 37 relative to the flow path defined by wall 20 forms angle alpha a. By virtue of this contour, two important features are realized:
  • Fig. 4 exemplifies another configuration on how the tip can be contoured to combat the leakage problem alluded to in the above.
  • the tip of blade 70 is contoured in a sawtooth fashion providing a plurality of parallel channels 72.
  • the inner surface 74 is angularly disposed to the gas path wall providing similar benefits as was described above.
