Splitter for a turbo-fan engine

摘要

A splitter (44) for a gas turbine engine (10) is provided. The splitter includes a radially inner wall (206), a radially outer wall (208) connected to the radially inner wall at a leading edge (200), an inner support structure (220) coupled between the inner and outer walls such that a flowpath is defined between at least a portion of the inner support structure and the inner and outer walls, and a cooling circuit (222) extending through a portion of the inner support structure for circulating lubrication fluid through the flowpath such that as a temperature of the lubrication oil is reduced and a temperature of at least a portion of the inner and outer walls is increased.
