  • Patent number: 11162609
    Abstract: A fluid valve for a hydraulic circuit of an aircraft includes a valve body with an inlet and two outlets. The valve further includes a solenoid electric actuator with a ferromagnetic mobile driver and a valve member having a ferromagnetic portion/ The valve member is movable within the valve body along a main direction and has first and second ends that define first and second cavities, respectively, on opposite sides of the valve member. A longitudinal cavity extends through the valve member parallel to the main direction and opens into the second cavity. Relative displacement between the mobile driver and the valve member modifies a communication between the longitudinal cavity and the first cavity via a side opening that is perpendicular to the main direction.

  • Patent number: 10760707
    Abstract: A fluid valve includes a valve member located between a first cavity and a second cavity, and an actuator that includes a pilot. The valve member is moved by the balance between the pressure prevailing in the first cavity and the pressure prevailing in the second cavity. The valve member includes a longitudinal hole that can be blocked by the pilot so as to modify the pressure prevailing in the first cavity and the force acting on the valve member so as to vary a fluid flow rate between an inlet and two outlets. The valve member is attached to a piston, one end of which is located in a third cavity. The force acting on the valve member is determined by the pressures prevailing in the various cavities.

  • Patent number: 10683863
    Abstract: An internal gear pump includes a pinion, a ring arranged around the pinion, and a cylindrical wall arranged around the ring. A support element, on which the pinion and the ring are supported, carries high-pressure liquid towards a recess located at the junction between the ring and the cylindrical wall, and also carries low-pressure liquid towards another recess located at another point of the junction between the ring and the cylindrical wall. The recess allows the load of the ring on the cylindrical wall to be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10208873
    Abstract: A fluid valve is suitable for use with a hydraulic circuit of an item of aircraft equipment. The fluid valve includes a valve body having one inlet, two outlets and a communication channel with an external pressure source. The fluid valve further includes an electric solenoid actuator located in the valve body and having a movable ferromagnetic pilot. A valve member is movable inside valve body to at least partially block a passage between said inlet and one of the two outlets. The valve member at least partially defines first and second cavities. A fixed limiter is disposed within the communication channel such that a displacement of the movable pilot causes a variation in pressure in one of the first and second cavities to produce a force for moving the valve member.

  • Patent number: 10190437
    Abstract: A test bench for an aircraft turbojet engine is provided. The test bench comprises a U-shaped configuration with a passage in the form of an elongated corridor, an inlet duct, and an outlet duct. The corridor comprises a fixing zone with a fixing arm for holding a turbojet engine during testing. The passage furthermore has an upstream shutter with vertical pivoting air guides and a downstream shutter with an inflatable balloon in a collector tube. In the event of fire, the shutters close to confine the turbojet engine in order to suffocate the fire rapidly. A method for managing a fire in a test bench with a passage is also provided.
