PASSIVE BLEED VALVES WITH ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE THRESHOLD

A bleed valve (100) includes a housing (102) with an inlet (104) coupled to an outlet (106) by a duct (108), a guide tube (110) with an orifice (134) fixed in the housing (102) between the inlet (104) and the outlet (106), a piston (112), and baffle (162). The piston (112) is slideably supported on...

Zusammenfassung:A bleed valve (100) includes a housing (102) with an inlet (104) coupled to an outlet (106) by a duct (108), a guide tube (110) with an orifice (134) fixed in the housing (102) between the inlet (104) and the outlet (106), a piston (112), and baffle (162). The piston (112) is slideably supported on the guide tube (110) and is movable between an open and a closed position (116, 118), the duct (108) fluidly coupling the inlet (104) and outlet (106) in the open position (116), the duct (108) fluidly separating the inlet (104) and outlet (106) in the closed position (118). The orifice (134) fluidly couples the inlet (104) and outlet (106) in the open and closed positions (116, 118) to move piston (112) between the open and closed positions (116, 118) according to differential pressure between the bleed valve inlet (104) and outlet (106). The baffle (162) is slideably supported by the guide tube (110) to set the differential pressure at which the piston (112) moves between the open and closed positions (116, 118). Gas turbines and differential pressure adjustment methods are also described.
