Wetzler, Indianapolis, Ind.,'assignors to General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Delaware Application August 9, 1954, Serial No. 448,633 j I 1 Claims. or. 230-132 This invention relates to compressor inlet d'e-icing and more particularly to the elimination'of ice formation on the compressor inlet guide vanes of a gas turbine aircraft engine. j
Gas turbine engines require large quantities of air for their operation and at times must .operate under at-' mospheric conditions wherein the air entering. the engine herein relates specifically to a multistage axial flow com-,
pressor but it will be apparent that many of the principles and features of this invention are applicable to other situations where similar problems arise.
An object of this invention'is to heat compressor inlet guide vanes by supplying heating fluid from a source to a fluid inlet at one end of each vane and directing the fluid through fluid passages in each vane to a fluid outlet on thevane. Another object of this invention is to heat compressor-inlet guide vanes by supplying heating fluid from a source to a'fluid inlet at one end of each vane and directing thefluid longitudinally through fluid passages in each vane to a fluid outlet on the vane. A further object ofthis" invention is to heat compressor inlet, guide vanes by supplying heating fluid from a source .to a'fluid -inlet at one end of each vane and directing the fluid in reverse longitudinal directions through fluid passages within the vane to a fluid outlet on the vane. Yet another object of this invention is to provide a hollow compressor inlet guide vane with a partition member to form fluid passages within the vane for directing the flow of heating fluid through the vane.
These and other objects of this invention will be readily apparent from the following specification and drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a partially cut-away view of the forward frame of a multistage axial flow compressor;
Figure 2 is a cut-away view showing a compressor inlet guide vane and assembled partition;
Figure 3 is a view on the plane indicated by line 33 of Figure 2 showing the outboard vane end;
Figure 4 is a view on the plane indicated by line 4-4 of Figure 2;
Figure 5 is a view on the plane indicated by line 55 of Figure 3;
Figure 6 is a view on the plane indicated by line 6-6 of Figure 3; a
Figure 7 is a view on the plane indicated by line 7 of Figure l.
Referring now to Figure 1 of the drawings, the for-, ward frame 2 of a multistage axial flow compressor; has surfaces 4 and 6 defining the inlet to the compressor. A number of radial struts 8 join the outer frame portion 10 to the inner frame portion 12., a L
The surface 4 has a circumferentially extending groove 14 which receives the heated air-from an intermediate stage of the compressorwhere the air has been heated due to compression and is under suificient pressure to ensure adequate circulation through the compressor inlet guide vanes. The air may be brought to groove 14 in a number of different ways which are well known in the art. For a more complete description of the forward frame and a showing of one way. of bringing the air to the groove 14, reference may be had to S. N. 285,169, filed April 30, 1952, John B. Wheatley et al., now Patent No.
, 2,80Q,273, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
An outer cylindrical shroud member 16 encloses the opening of. groove 14'to form a chamber 15 for supplying the heatedgairto the compressor inlet guide vanes as will be hereinafter explained. An inner cylindrical shroud member 18 fits within a shouldered circumferential recess 22 in the inner frame portion 12 andhas a, circumferentially extending fiange20 spaced from a cylindrical labyrinth seal 24 secured to the inner frame por-: tion 12. An axially extending flange portion (not: shown) of .the compressor rotor (not shown) fits be-v tweenflange 20 and labyrinth seal 24 The compressor.- rotor (not shown) is supported on shaft 26 which is rotatably mounted within the forward frame at 28.
A number of compressor inlet guide vanes 30 are secured at their inboard ends 31 to the inner shroud mem her and at their outboard ends 32 to the outer shroud member. The vanes extend radially betweenthe shrouds as is well known in the art. The outboard ends of the vanes extend through the outer shroud member into the chamber 15 to receive the heated air supplied from the Referring now to Figures 2 through outer concave and convex faces 34 and 36, respectively, which meet at 38 to form a leading edge and at 40 to I form a trailing edge. As can be. seen in Figures 3 and 4, the vane is given a twist in order that the incoming.
air will'be given the desired swirling motion as it enters the compressor. 1 1 A partition 42 is assembledwithin each vane as shown in Figure 2 and extends substantially the length of the vane. The partition has central. curved portions 44 and 46 contacting the inner surfaces ofjfaces 36 and 34, re-
spectively, and-joined by a web 45 to form an ogee, curve. A curved portion48 extends laterally from curvedpor tion 44 toward the trailing edge of the vane and abuts the inner surfaces of faces 34 and 36 at 47. Web 45,
. curved portions 44 and 48, and a portion of the inner surface of vane face 34 defines a longitudinally extending passage 49 within the vane.
A portion 50 of partition 42 extends laterally from curved portion 46 toward the leading edge of the vane and has an edge 54 lying against the inner surface of vane face 36. Portion 50 is bent at 52 adjacent to edge 54. Curved portion 46, portion 50, and portions of the inner surfaces of vane faces 34 and 36 define a longitudinally extending passage 53 within the vane.
The outboard end of partition 42 is formed to provide an edge 62 contacting the inner surface of face 36, a portion 56 angularly extending from portion 50 to edge 62, and a U-shaped portion 57 (Figures 3 and 6) 7, vane 30 has" end 32 of the vane, and the is closed to the outboard end of the vane by the U- shaped portion 57 The inboard end of each passage is open (one ill'b081'd"jnd' 31 of the vaneyand across-sec 'tional view taken at the inboardendof *the assembled W to the inboard-sideof leg 590i? "Ll-shaped portion 57 as shown in Figures 2 and 6. I
, The heating fluid passes "from chairiberl-S- into the outboard end 32 of the vane,f'flows longitudinally of the vane through passage 53, and thenflows-ina reverse longitudinal direction through passage 49 to the fluid outlet 66', where it is dischargedinto the incoming-air to the cornpressor. t w
Icing does not ordinarily occur unless the structureobstructs the flow of air containing moisture or changes" the direction of flow of'such air. The incoming air to the compressor strikes the leading edge 38 of :the vane and the forward or concave vane face 34 and thus these portions of the vane are heated: I i
I Some. of the heatingfluid will flow into the passages 60 and 61formed:by'partition'portions48 and 50 and the innersurface of vane face-36 but since there is no 'outlet for either passage, there Will: be ;very little circulation of air ineither passage. However, the air in these passages will'be heated by conduction, for partition 42 will become heated by the heating'fluid flowing in passages 49 and 53.-
Thus, this invention provides longitudinally extending passages 49 and 53 within thevane for directing ,the flow .of heating fluid in reverse longitudinal directions to heat vane face 34 and the leading edge 38 of the vane. Although 'only two such passages have been shown and described, obviously more may be usedif desired.
-While a specific embodiment of this invention has been shown and described various changes and modifications may be made within the scope and spirit of 'the invention without departing from it.
