Heated booster splitter plenum

摘要

A splitter apparatus for a gas turbine engine includes: a splitter (38) including: an annular outer wall (40) which defines a convex-curved leading edge at a forward end thereof; an annular floorplate positioned radially inboard of the outer wall (40); and an annular first bulkhead spanning between the outer wall (40) and the floorplate. The outer wall (40), the floorplate, and the bulkhead collectively define an annular splitter plenum (56) positioned adjacent the leading edge of the outer wall (40). At least one exhaust passage (68) formed in the outer wall (40) extends past the floorplate and communicates with the exterior of the splitter (38). At least one jumper tube assembly (76) passes through the first bulkhead, each configured to pass air flow from the exterior of the splitter (38) into the plenum.
