Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH06102988
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided to thermally control a section of engine casing by flowing heat transfer fluid within an axially disposed plurality of circular flowpaths (40a,40b) within a section of engine casing or flange such as a thermal control ring (32). Flowpaths (40a,40b) are preferably arranged in alternating counterflowing directions in the ring (32) such that there is substantially no circumferential gradient in the mass flowrate weighted average temperature of the heat transfer fluid supplied by any two adjacent counterflowing fluid flowpaths (40a,40b). Each flowpath may have two or more circuits having inlets (58) and outlets (65) for flowing the heat transfer fluid.
