  • Patent number: 11951341
    Abstract: A propulsion assembly with an outer compartment, an inner compartment, a supply pipe and a transfer pipe between the two compartments, a suction system between the two pipes, a regulating element that regulates the flow rate of air in the suction system and a fire-fighting system having a reservoir of extinguishing fluid, a discharge pipe connected to the reservoir, and a control system between the reservoir and the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is configured and arranged to supply the transfer pipe when the control system is in the open position. The outside air is then driven by the suction system and passes through the two compartments in a forced manner and the extinguishing fluid reaches the transfer pipe to flow into the inner compartment.

  • Patent number: 11846233
    Abstract: A propulsion assembly with a primary duct and a secondary duct, an outer fairing delimiting an outer compartment with an inlet opening, an inner fairing delimiting an inner compartment with an air exhaust aperture, a suction system having an inlet, an outlet and mobile elements that draw the air in via the inlet and deliver the air via the outlet, a drive that drives the mobile elements, a transfer pipe connected to the outlet, a distribution pipe disposed in the inner compartment, connected to the transfer pipe and having nozzles, a supply pipe that opens into the outer compartment and is connected to the inlet, and a regulator that regulates the flow rate of air in the suction system. The outside air is then driven by the suction system and passes through the two compartments in a forced manner.

  • Publication number: 20180149524
    Abstract: A system for protecting a thermocouple placed in an environment comprising at least one radiative element, comprising a plate positioned between the thermocouple and the radiative element. The plate has an overall surface condition of an internal face facing towards the thermocouple such that the internal face absorbs radiation coming from the radiative element more than the internal face reflects the radiation.

  • Publication number: 20130292515
    Abstract: The overpressure door, of axial type, includes a hatch configured to pivot about an axis between a closed position and an open position and an aerodynamic appendage securely attached to the hatch. The aerodynamic appendage makes it possible to produce a deflection of the external flow in the open position of the hatch of the door.
