Pneumatic compressor bleed valve

摘要

A pneumatically operated compressor bleed valve communicating between a compressor housing and a bypass duct of a gas turbine engine. The valve has an annular piston slidably mounted within an annular chamber concentric the longitudinal engine axis. An annular valve plug on the piston and an annular valve seat on the compressor housing defining a valve seal interface. A control air pressure conduit communicates between a portion of the annular chamber bounded by the piston and a source of control air pressure. Guide bearings mounted to the periphery of the piston and the housing have a helical guide surface concentric the engine axis.
