14 results about "Turboprop" patented technology

A turboprop engine is a turbine engine that drives an aircraft propeller. In its simplest form a turboprop consists of an intake, compressor, combustor, turbine, and a propelling nozzle. Air is drawn into the intake and compressed by the compressor. Fuel is then added to the compressed air in the combustor, where the fuel-air mixture then combusts. The hot combustion gases expand through the turbine. Some of the power generated by the turbine is used to drive the compressor. The rest is transmitted through the reduction gearing to the propeller. Further expansion of the gases occurs in the propelling nozzle, where the gases exhaust to atmospheric pressure. The propelling nozzle provides a relatively small proportion of the thrust generated by a turboprop.

Mounting rack for turboprop engine shaft platform test

The application discloses a mounting rack for turbo-prop engine shaft table test, which comprises a chassis assembly, a fixed main mounting section support, a stringing main mounting section support and two groups of auxiliary mounting section supports vertically arranged on the chassis assembly. The fixed main mounting section support and the stringing main mounting section support are used for being connected with two main mounting sections on the front end of the engine respectively, and the stringing main mounting section support is arranged along the radial direction of the engine to compensate the thermal expansion in the radial direction of the front end of the engine. The two groups of auxiliary mounting section supports are used for being connected with two auxiliary mounting sections on the middle and rear end of the engine respectively, and are arranged along the axial direction, the radial direction and the vertical direction of the engine to compensate the thermal expansion in the axial direction and the radial direction of the engine. The mounting rack can compensate the thermal expansion in the axial direction and the radial direction of the engine, so as to eliminate the additional load caused by the four supporting points of the engine not being on the same plane and shield the resonance frequency generated by the test bench and the engine.
