HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSOR THERMAL SHIELD APPARATUS AND SYSTEM

摘要

In various embodiments, a high pressure compressor (52) may comprise a thermal shield (72). The thermal shield (72) may be installed between a first rotor (64-1) and a second rotor (64-2). The thermal shield (72) may also be installed radially inward of a stator (66). The stator (66) may be a shrouded stator. Moreover, the thermal shield (72) may be configured to thermally isolate and/or reduce the thermal load associated with windage on a rotor hub (70).
