  • Patent number: 11873890
    Abstract: Oil system for a turbomachine, making it possible to continue the supply of oil to the pieces of equipment of the turbomachine in case of occurrence of a fire within the turbomachine, including an oil circuit, at least one oil-consuming piece of equipment, supplied by the oil circuit, a pumping unit, including at least one speed-pilotable electrically driven pump, supplying the oil circuit, and an electronic control unit, configured to pilot the electrically driven pump, wherein the electronic control unit includes two separate logics of piloting the electrically driven pump, and wherein the electronic control unit is configured to pilot the electrically driven pump according to the first logic by default and to switch to the second logic in case of receipt of a signal representative of the presence of a fire or of an overheating.

  • Patent number: 10683774
    Abstract: An oil tank for a turbine engine comprising a closed enclosure having the shape of an arc of circle adapted to receive oil, with the enclosure having a lower portion and an upper portion at a distance from each other, and an oil level control device in the enclosure, wherein the oil level control device comprises a first sensor positioned in the lower portion of the enclosure so as to control the oil level, and a second sensor separate from the first sensor and positioned in the upper portion of the enclosure so as to control the oil level.

  • Patent number: 8468796
    Abstract: A by-pass turbojet including a thrust reverser is disclosed. The thrust reverse includes a deflector device which deflects all or part of the primary stream gas in such a manner that the deflected primary stream gas encounters the secondary stream, thereby reducing the injection speed of the secondary stream in an aft direction, and thus generating the thrust-reversal effect. The secondary stream escapes from the aft end of the nacelle. In the thrust-reversal position, the deflector device is inscribed radially substantially within the section of the primary nozzle cowl at the aft end of the nacelle. Such a thrust reverser is particularly simple in design, inexpensive, and makes it possible to avoid having moving parts present on the outside portion of the nacelle, thus simplifying the design of the turbojet.
