Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gas turbine engine comprises a compressor, a combustor and a turbine. A housing for the gas turbine engine includes a mount member to define a vertically upper location. Sides of the engine are defined on opposed sides of the mount, with a fuel filter, a fuel pump and a fuel flow meter being positioned on a first side and an oil pump, an oil filter and an oil tank positioned on a second of the sides.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A gas turbine engine comprising: a compressor, a combustor and a turbine; a housing for said gas turbine engine, with said housing including a mount member to define a vertically upper location, and sides of the engine being defined on opposed sides of the mount, with a fuel filter, a fuel pump and a fuel flow meter being positioned on a first side and an oil pump, an oil filter and an oil tank positioned on a second of said sides; and wherein pivoting doors are associated with each of the said first and second sides to provide access to components. 2. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an electronic engine control, a prognostic health and monitoring unit and an igniter box are all positioned on one of said first and second sides. 3. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 2 , wherein a fuel/oil cooler is positioned at a vertically upper location. 4. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said fuel pump is positioned vertically below the fuel flow meter. 5. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 4 , wherein said oil pump is positioned vertically below said oil tank. 6. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 5 , wherein a main gearbox is positioned in a vertically lower location. 7. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 6 , wherein a generator is also positioned in said vertically lower location. 8. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a fuel/oil cooler is positioned at a vertically upper location. 9. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said fuel pump is positioned vertically below the fuel flow meter. 10. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said oil pump is positioned vertically below said oil tank. 11. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 9 , wherein a main gearbox is positioned in a vertically lower location. 12. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 11 , wherein a generator is also positioned in said vertically lower location. 13. The gas turbine engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a generator is positioned at a vertically lower location.
