  • Patent number: 10677165
    Abstract: A heat exchange system in a turbomachine that comprises a plurality of members and equipment to be cooled and/or lubricated, the heat exchange system includes a fluid circuit for cooling and/or lubricating the equipment, the heat exchange system being configured to bring the fluid circuit in thermal contact with a fluid, wherein the heat exchange system further includes an open work structure which is in thermal contact with at least one hot section of the fluid circuit and through which the fluid passes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9897004
    Abstract: A device for discharging oil from an oil chamber located in a downstream part of a gas turbine engine, the device including: a mechanism discharging at least part of the oil contained in the chamber to exterior of the engine; and a drive mechanism for driving the oil, which allows passage of an air flow that assists in driving the discharge of the oil to the exterior of the engine. The drive mechanism includes: a ventilation port in the downstream part of the engine, such that the oil passes through the ventilation port; and a guide element arranged such that, after the oil has passed through the ventilation port, the oil is directed towards a downstream bleed area of the low-pressure turbine. A turbomachine can include such an oil discharge device.
