More Information
Summary:An inner diffuser case for a turbine engine includes a fore gas path edge and an aft gas path edge defining a strut, wherein each of the fore gas path edge and the aft gas path edge include a gas path opening, a support cone structure extending radially outward from the strut, wherein the support cone structure is operable to structurally connect the strut to a turbine engine case, a diffuser case skirt structure extending radially inward from the strut, wherein the diffuser case skirt structure is operable to structurally connect the diffuser case strut to an inner support structure of the turbine engine, and at least one direct feed air passage passing radially through the strut including a radially outward upper mixing chamber opening and a radially inward direct air feed opening, the direct air feed opening is connected to a direct air feed.
