Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary gas turbine engine 100 . Engine 100 includes a compressor 120 and a plurality of combustors 104 . The combustor 104 includes a fuel nozzle assembly 106 . Engine 100 also includes a turbine 108 and a general compressor / turbine rotor 110 (sometimes referred to as rotor 110 ).

[0030] figure 2 for along area 2 (shown in figure 1 Middle) An enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of the compressor 102 obtained. Compressor 102 includes a rotor assembly 112 and a stator assembly 114 positioned within a housing 116 that at least partially defines a flow passage 118 in conjunction with at least a portion of a housing radially inner surface 119 . In the exemplary embodiment, rotor assembly 112 forms part of rotor 110 and is rotatably coupled to a turbine rotor (not shown). The rotor assembly 112 also partially defines an inner flow passage boundary 120 of the flow passage 118 , and the stator assembly 114 in combination ...

Abstract

A system and methods for disassembling a machine are provided, in particular a system is used for a rotating mechanery including a casing (116) including a plurality of arcuate channels defined therein. The system includes a reaction bridge (305) configured to couple to a casing, the reaction bridge including a first leg (312), a second leg (318) and a support beam (323) extending therebetween, a force device (400) including an actuator (410) and a connecting rod extending therefrom, wherein the force device is coupled to the reaction bridge support beam. The force device is configured to apply a force to an end of a segment positioned in one of the casing channels (139). The system also includes a clevis assembly (512) coupled to the connecting rod, wherein the clevis assembly is configured to engage the segment to facilitate removal of the segment from the rotary machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates generally to gas turbine engines, and more particularly, to systems and methods for removing stator bucket segments from turbine engines. Background technique [0002] At least some known gas turbine engines include: in a serial flow arrangement, a high pressure compressor for compressing air flowing through the engine, a combustor where fuel is mixed with the compressed air and ignited to create a high temperature gas flow, and a high pressure Turbine. From the combustors, hot combustion gases are passed downstream to a turbine where energy is extracted from the combustion gases for use in powering a compressor and producing useful work to propel an aircraft in flight or power a load such as in an electrical generator. Some known gas turbine engines may also include a low pressure compressor or a boost compressor to supply compressed air to the high pressure compressor. [0003] Known compressors include a compress...
