Patent number: 8157519Abstract: A system for connecting two ferrules of an axial compressor case. A ferrule includes a female flange, while the other ferrule includes a male flange. Both the female flange as well as the male flange are substantially annular and include a proximal face intended to be integral with the ferrule, and a distal face. The male flange is intended to be introduced into a space bound by an axial extension of the female flange. The system further includes a trim intended to be introduced behind the male flange into the space and clamped between the proximal face of the male flange and a surface of the extension substantially opposite in order to space them apart and thus clamp the distal faces of both flanges one against the other.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Techspace AeroInventors: Jean-Francois Gerard Jacques Cortequisse, Sebastien Jean Bernard De Tessieres

Patent number: 8133011Abstract: The invention concerns a novel type of turbomachine. The stator of the turbomachine comprises a plurality of profiled members forming stiffeners arranged on the blade stage. The profiled members are distributed uniformly at periphery of the blade stage and individually between two consecutive blades. The stiffeners are fixed to the internal and external ferrules of the stator in order to uniformly increase the axial and radial stiffness of the stator in normal operation of the turbomachine and to allow the internal ferrules to have a limited displacement during the normal functioning of the turbomachine. This makes it possible to reduce the axial sizing of the turbomachine, and consequently its mass.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2008Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Techspace AeroInventor: Jean-François Gérard Jacques Cortequisse

Publication number: 20100028127Abstract: A method and a system for lubricating a turbomachine including an oil tank, an oil feed pump, an oil/air separator, and at least two enclosures closed by air flow rate seals, each including a low outlet and housing shaft-supporting rolling bearings. The method injects oil from the tank into the enclosures by the pump to lubricate the bearings, introduces compressed air at a low flow rate into the enclosures via the seals to pressurize the enclosures, recuperates all of the air and the oil introduced into the enclosures via their low outlet, uses gravity and the pressurization of the enclosures to convey the oil/air mixture as recovered in this way to the oil/air separator, separates the oil and the air of the mixture by the oil/air separator, returns the oil to the tank, and exhausts the air to outside the turbomachine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2007Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: TECHSPACE AEROInventors: Albert Cornet, Nicolas Raimarckers
