Inspection System For A Combustor Of A Turbine Engine

View page
US Patent:
20120281084, Nov 8, 2012
Filed:
May 5, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/101338
Inventors:
Clifford Hatcher - Orlando FL, US
Forrest R. Ruhge - Orlando FL, US
Ian T. Doran - Charlotte NC, US
Robert G. Shannon - Orlando FL, US
Dennis H. Lemieux - Casselberry FL, US
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348 83, 348E07085
Abstract:
An inspection system formed at least from an inspection system housing including at least one internal chamber that supports an extendible camera support shaft extending distally through a pilot nozzle port into a combustor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The inspection system may include a camera capable of capturing high quality images together with position coordinates. Thus, the inspection system enables images in a combustor of a gas turbine engine to be captured and recaptured at a subsequent outage so that the images may be analyzed and compared for preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and the like. The inspection system may include three degrees of freedom for the camera mounted on the extendible camera support shaft.

Method For Producing Flexible Tooling For Casting A Ceramic Core

View page
US Patent:
20220379368, Dec 1, 2022
Filed:
Nov 1, 2019
Appl. No.:
17/772873
Inventors:
- München, DE
Lara Richerson - Charlottesville VA, US
Douglas Bibb - Staunton VA, US
Scott Gangle - Barboursville VA, US
Robert Bruce - Barboursville VA, US
Ian T. Doran - Charlottesville VA, US
Christopher Duren - Charlottesville VA, US
Andrew Belling - Charlottesville VA, US
Wayne J. McDonald - Charlotte NC, US
International Classification:
B22C 9/10
B33Y 80/00
B22C 7/02
Abstract:
A method for producing a flexible tooling liner for casting a ceramic core is presented. The method includes the steps of producing a three-dimensional (3D) reference object representative of a ceramic core to be cast, disposing the reference object into a containment vessel configured to receive a liquid flexible tooling material, filling the containment vessel with the liquid tooling material so that the reference object is encapsulated by the liquid tooling material on the surface whose topography is intended to be imparted, allowing the liquid tooling material to cure, and separating the cured flexible tooling along a parting surface into opposing portions and removing the reference the reference object.

Manufacturing Aligned Cooling Features In A Core For Casting

View page
US Patent:
20220193758, Jun 23, 2022
Filed:
May 22, 2019
Appl. No.:
17/594725
Inventors:
- München, DE
Jose L. Rodriguez - Longwood FL, US
Ian T. Doran - Charlottesville VA, US
International Classification:
B22C 13/12
B22C 13/08
B22C 9/10
B22C 9/04
F01D 5/18
B22C 9/06
Abstract:
A molding tool () for manufacturing cooling features in a ceramic core for a casting process includes a first mold portion () comprising a crossover hole forming feature (); a second mold portion () comprising an impingement jet receiving forming feature () for forming an impingement jet receiving feature having a desired aiming point (); and a sacrificial alignment member () for extending at least partially into the crossover hole forming feature () at least partially into the aiming point () of the impingement jet receiving forming feature () for substantially aligning a central axis () of the crossover hole forming feature () with the aiming point () to maintain a crossover hole and aiming point alignment during casting to ensure that the jet is directed at the aiming point () in a resultant cast part.

Airfoil For A Turbine Engine Incorporating Pins

View page
US Patent:
20210156264, May 27, 2021
Filed:
Jul 13, 2018
Appl. No.:
17/258480
Inventors:
- München, DE
Jose L. Rodriguez - Longwood FL, US
Timothy Troyer - Charlottesville VA, US
Louis Charles - Charlottesville VA, US
Ian T. Doran - Charlottesville VA, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/18
Abstract:
An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an array of pins positioned in an internal cavity of the airfoil, such that cooling channels are defined in the interspaces between adjacent pins. Each pin extends lengthwise from a first airfoil wall to a second airfoil wall and is connected thereto at a first intersection and at a second intersection respectively. The pin has a first cross-sectional shape at a respective intersection and a second cross-sectional shape at an intermediate plane located between the first and second intersections. The first cross-sectional shape includes a closed shape defined by relatively sharp corners and the second cross-sectional shape includes a closed shape defined by relatively rounded corners. A cross-sectional area of the pin at the intermediate plane is greater than a cross-sectional area of the pin at the respective intersection.
