Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Diffuser Case

The Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Diffuser Case is a component that is part of the supply class Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components in the supply group Engines, Turbines, And Components.

The diffuser case is an important part of a gas turbine engine. It is located between the compressor and the combustion chamber. Its main function is to slow down the high-speed airflow coming out of the compressor and increase its pressure before it enters the combustion chamber.

The diffuser case is designed to efficiently convert the kinetic energy of the airflow into pressure energy. It achieves this by gradually increasing the cross-sectional area of the flow passage, which reduces the velocity of the airflow and increases its pressure.

The diffuser case is typically made of high-strength materials, such as titanium or nickel alloys, to withstand the high temperatures and pressures experienced in the gas turbine engine. It is also designed to provide a smooth and streamlined flow path for the airflow, minimizing any losses or disturbances.

Overall, the diffuser case plays a crucial role in the operation of an aircraft gas turbine engine by ensuring that the airflow entering the combustion chamber is at the correct pressure and velocity for efficient combustion and power generation.
