Abstract: A cryogenic fuel supply system includes a storage tank, a mixing chamber, an auxiliary heating device, a heat exchanger, and flow distribution devices, and a controller. The storage tank stores cryogenic fuel in a liquid state. The mixing chamber receives various flows of cryogenic fuel in a supercritical or gaseous state, the mixing chamber being connected to a combustion chamber to supply the combustion chamber with cryogenic fuel in the supercritical or gaseous state. The auxiliary heating device heats the cryogenic fuel. The heat exchanger assembly includes a cryogenic fuel/oil heat exchanger and a heat exchanger between the cryogenic fuel and the air circulating in a primary duct of the turbine engine. A flow distribution device is upstream of the auxiliary heating device, and one or more flow distribution devices are disposed upstream of the heat exchanger assembly. The controller controls opening and closing of the flow distribution devices.

Abstract: A fuel supply circuit for an aeronautical cryogenic turbomachine including: at least one cryogenic reservoir containing a liquid fuel topped with a boil-off gas and including a high-pressure liquid pump to supply at least one main propulsion device of the turbomachine with liquid fuel, an auxiliary turbomachine including an electric generator, a gas compressor to supply the auxiliary turbomachine with gaseous fuel, and a buffer gas reservoir connecting the gas compressor to the cryogenic reservoir to reinject gas into the cryogenic reservoir in order to maintain the pressure in the cryogenic reservoir above a predefined value, the electric generator supplying the high-pressure liquid pump and the gas compressor.

Abstract: A system for heating cryogenic fuel includes a storage take, a supply line, a closed circuit, a cryogenic fuel heat exchanger, one or more working fluid heat exchangers, and a controller The storage tank stores the cryogenic fuel in a liquid state. The supply line connects the storage tank to a combustion chamber of an aircraft turbine engine. The closed circuit circulates a heat-transfer fluid. The cryogenic fuel heat exchanger heats the cryogenic fuel by the heat-transfer fluid. The closed circuit includes a pump for circulating the heat-transfer fluid and a closed expansion vessel connected to the closed circuit. The controller controls the pump to ensure a heat-transfer fluid flow rate inside the closed circuit so that the closed expansion vessel keeps the heat-transfer fluid circulating in the closed circuit at a pressure such that the heat-transfer fluid remains in the liquid state and does not change phase.

Abstract: A pressure regulating device includes an on-board storage tank, a mixing chamber, first and second lines, a recirculation line, a pressure sensor and a controller. The storage tank stores and supplies cryogenic fuel to a combustion chamber and includes a booster pump. The first line supplies cryogenic fuel in the liquid state and includes a pressurizing pump and a first regulation valve. The second line supplies cryogenic fuel in the gaseous state and includes a compressor and a first control valve. The recirculation line includes a second regulation valve and with a first heat exchanger. The pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the storage tank. The controller receives the pressure and controls the first and second regulation valves, the first control valve, the pressurizing pump, the booster pump and the compressor, as a function of a value of a setpoint pressure inside the storage tank.
