FLOW DIVERTER FOR MID-TURBINE FRAME COOLING AIR DELIVERY

Abstract:

Flow diverters for installation in mid-turbine frame systems at a conduit outlet of gas turbine engines are described. The flow diverters include a diverter body having a connector portion defining a diverter inlet, a diverter extension at least partially defining a diverter outlet, and a curved portion arranged between the connector portion and the diverter extension, the curved portion configured to change a direction of flow from a first direction to a second direction that is about 90.degree. from the first direction as the flow passes from the diverter inlet to the diverter outlet.
