ovalization

Examples

• All

• Ovalization is the cross-sectional deviation of the engine case from circular to elliptical, with the ellipse's major axis passing through the turbine case thrust mount and the engine centerline axis.

• Subsequent engine tests showed that the new thrust frame substantially reduced ovalization.

• That ovalization degree of freedom uses interpolates basically the ovalization along the curved pipe.

• Flight International's diagrams showing the original ovalization problem and final solution by redistribution of the main thrust load.

• This two-point distortion-canceling method was very effective, so much so that the two mounting points could be separated by as much as 120 degrees and still yield an acceptable amount of case ovalization reduction.

• But as an add-on to the existing FAA-certified engine, it solved the ovalization problem that was threatening the financial future of both Boeing and Pratt & Whitney.
