  • Patent number: 10760486
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aviation turbine engine fan module including a de-icing system (10) for de-icing an inlet cone (1) and comprising a sheath (30) placed inside an inside space defined upstream by the inlet cone, said sheath comprising a first duct (38) having at least one hot air admission orifice (42), said first duct being configured to convey hot air from a bearing enclosure (22) of the engine towards a wall of the inlet cone in order to heat it from the inside, the sheath further comprising a second duct (40) having at least one outlet situated downstream from the admission orifice of the first duct, said second duct being configured to discharge air from the first duct towards the downstream end of the engine. The invention also provides a method of de-icing a turbine engine inlet cone.

  • Patent number: 10598039
    Abstract: A device for adjusting the pitch of at least one annular row of stator vanes for a turbine engine module. The device includes a first control ring mounted to rotate freely about an axis of the turbine engine. The device also includes connecting rods for connecting the first control ring to the vanes and a second control ring mounted to rotate freely about the axis. Each vane of the at least one row is simultaneously connected to the first and second control rings by a set of at least two connecting rods. The device is suitable for use as part of a module and is suitable for use in a turbine engine.

  • Publication number: 20180334907
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly including a one-piece bladed disk (1), at least one low-pressure compressor rotor (2) and a low-pressure compressor shaft, characterized in that the bladed disk and the low-pressure compressor rotor (2) are both adapted to be shrunk onto the low-pressure compressor shaft and mechanically attached to it by sets of splines. At least one clamping member (16) blocks axially the different collars with respect to the shaft.

  • Patent number: 9885291
    Abstract: A bypass turbine engine including: an inner casing, an inter-duct casing, and an outer casing so as to define a primary duct between the inter-duct casing and the inner casing, and a secondary duct between the inter-duct casing and the outer casing; a rotary shaft including a movable fan including radial blades of which free ends face the outer casing of the turbine engine to compress an air flow in the secondary duct; a plurality of variable-pitch radial stator vanes mounted upstream of the movable fan so as to deflect the incident axial air prior to it being axially rectified by the movable fan in the secondary duct; and a system for individually regulating the pitch of the variable-pitch radial vanes if heterogeneity of the air flow in the secondary duct is detected, is provided.
