SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM VENTILATION AIRFLOW INSIDE AN ENGINE ENCLOSURE OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

A diffuser assembly for a ventilation system is disclosed herein. The diffuser assembly may include a boundary defining an interior of the diffuser assembly. The diffuser assembly also may include at least one inlet to the interior of the diffuser assembly. The at least one inlet to the interior of the diffuser assembly may be in fluid communication with at least one ventilation fan. Moreover, the diffuser assembly may include an outlet from the interior of the diffuser assembly. The outlet from the interior of the diffuser assembly may be in fluid communication with an engine enclosure. In this manner, the outlet from the interior of the diffuser assembly may be configured to provide a flow of ventilation air from the at least one ventilation fan as a substantially uniform flow of ventilation air within the engine enclosure.
