Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling equipment, in particular to an aviation engine cooling device for ground service. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft engines are the power that propels aircraft to fly. Generally, the temperature of turbofan engines is 1400~1700℃. The temperature at the engine intake and exhaust is slightly lower, but not less than 1400℃. The engine can reach a maximum temperature of 1750℃ when running with afterburner. As the core component of aircraft engines, the blade holes of high-pressure turbine rotor blades are important components that affect engine performance and life. Once the inner wall of the blade hole is adhered, oxidized, and worn, it will lead to a decline in engine performance and seriously affect aviation safety. How to ensure the quality and state of the inner wall of the blade hole has always been a key difficulty in the field of aircraft engine research and development. The borescope is a high-precision non-contact measuring instrument that can realize online real-time monitoring of multiple parameters such as the size, shape, and difference of the inner wall of the blade hole. Its working principle is: the borescope device installed on the engine emits rays, and through the reflection and diffraction of the rays by the blade hole, multiple parameters of the inner wall of the blade hole are calculated through a specific algorithm.
[0003] However, when the engine has just finished working, the whole engine is in a high temperature state, which will not only damage the borescope probe (the maintenance cost of the borescope is high), but also pose a certain high temperature risk to the operator, which is not conducive to borescope work or other service work; waiting for the engine to cool naturally to the operating temperature often takes 3 to 4 hours. Therefore, in order to speed up the cooling rate of the airflow inside the engine, shorten the rotor jam time after the engine is working, and improve the efficiency of borescope inspection, a device that can quickly cool the internal temperature of the engine within a certain period of time is needed.
