Abstract

1453611 Gas turbine plant - deriving cooling air ROLLS-ROYCE (1971) Ltd 8 Feb 1974 [20 Jan 1973] 3065/73 Heading F1G The invention relates to a gas turbine engine and to means for taking air from the compressor thereof, the air being passed through an auxiliary flow-path comprising a turbine and a compressor in series flow and being utilised for engine cooling. The compressor 10 of the main engine is shown in Fig. 1 and air is tapped therefrom and passed through a turbine 14 then through a cooler 20 then through a compressor 16 from which it is discharged for cooling parts of the main engine, for example the turbine blades thereof, the compressor 16 being driven by the turbine 14 through shaft 18. A further turbine 22 driven by exhaust gases from the main engine may be connected to assist drive of the compressor 16. In Fig. 2 the air tapped from the engine compressor 10 is first cooled in a cooler 24, a proportion of the air so cooled passing through turbine 14, cooler 20 and compressor 16 to the point of use as in Fig. 1; the remaining portion of air from the cooler 24 is passed to a second turbine 22 which assists the drive of compressor 16, the air discharging from the turbine 22 also being utilized for cooling purposes for example for cooling lower-pressure turbine blades. In Fig. 3 (not shown) air tapped from the main compressor 10 is utilized in part as in Fig. 1; the remaining part of the tapped air is passed through a cooler 24 then expanded through a turbine 22 which assists drive of the compressor 16, finally being utilized for cooling purposes.
