Abstract

An attachment system for attaching at least one exhaust diffuser (26) downstream from a turbine assembly (12) in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The attachment system may include at least one attachment flange (134) extending from a downstream edge (132) and attached to a spring plate diffuser support structure (202) and at least one attachment flange (134) extending from side edges of the exhaust diffuser (26) to couple sections of the exhaust diffuser (26) together. The diffuser (26) may also include a thermal barrier/cooling system (44) for controlling a temperature of an outer case (11) of the gas turbine engine. The thermal barrier/cooling system (44) may form a flow path for an ambient air flow cooling.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Patent Application 13 / 314311 filed on November 8, 2011. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to gas turbine engines, and more particularly, to structures that provide thermal security to limit heating of the casing of the gas turbine engine. Background technique [0004] A gas turbine engine typically includes a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section and an exhaust section. In operation, the compressor section can receive ambient air and compress the ambient air. Compressed air from the compressor section enters one or more combustors in the combustor section. The compressed air is mixed with fuel in a combustor where the air-fuel mixture is burned to form hot working gases. The hot working gas is passed to the turbine section where it is expanded through alternating rows of stationary and rotating airfoils and used to generate po...
