Flow-balancing holes and segmented cooling passages equalize mid-turbine frame airflow, reducing temperature asymmetry and bearing offset.
A hybrid cooler combines an air heat exchanger with a refrigerant loop to cut turbomachine cooling weight, drag, and energy use.
Semi-spherical datum features fix baffle position in fixtures, improving forming, cutting, and drilling accuracy while reducing rework.
Surface micro-channels sealed by a braze sheet bring cooling air closer to hot gas path walls, boosting heat transfer without complex casting.
