Abstract

A bleed valve includes a valve body which includes an aperture. A resonator is in fluid communication with the aperture in the valve body. A drain valve is in fluid communication with the resonator.

Claims (15)

1. A gas turbine engine comprising:

a compressor section;

a bleed duct in communication with the compressor section; and

a bleed valve in communication with the bleed duct comprising:

an aperture in a valve body;

a resonator in fluid communication with the aperture; and

a drain valve in fluid communication with the resonator, wherein the drain valve includes a body portion at least partially surrounding a slider.

2. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the bleed valve is a 2.5 bleed valve for the gas turbine engine.

3. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the bleed valve is located adjacent an aft stage of a low pressure compressor of the compressor section.

4. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the slider is configured to move in an axial direction relative to an axis of the body portion.

5. The gas turbine engine of claim 4 , further comprising a spring for biasing the slider relative to the body portion.

6. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the slider includes an engagement portion for engaging a static structure on the gas turbine engine.

7. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the slider includes a seal portion including at least one O-ring for selectively opening an aperture in the resonator.

8. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the bleed valve is located radially inward relative to an axis of rotation of the gas turbine engine from the resonator.

9. The gas turbine engine of claim 1 , wherein the slider is configured to slidably engage an inner surface of the body portion.
