Patent number: 10557415Abstract: A non-faired propeller turbo-engine includes a gas generator and a propulsion unit that is separated from the gas generator by an intermediate housing. The turbo-engine includes a housing and a radially internal ferrule that are coaxial and are connected by hollow radial arms. The housing of the turbo-engine also defines, in part, a gas flow duct of a secondary gas flow. Each radial arm is hollow and is traversed by at least one service of the turbo-engine. Additionally, at least one arm is traversed by a ventilation gas circulation duct from the secondary gas flow and which leads to at least one component from among a power turbine and a mechanical transmission of said propulsion unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Tewfik Boudebiza, Gilles Alain Charier, Augustin Marc Michel Curlier, Jean-Christophe Duffet

Patent number: 10364691Abstract: A turbomachine subassembly has a radially inner shell and a radially outer shell of an annular gas flow path. A radial arm extends radially between the radially inner and outer shells and delimits an isolated volume which is connected to an inner volume of a chamber partly delimited by the radially inner shell. A segment of a conduit extends radially in the isolated volume, and a ventilation air supply source is connected to supply ventilation air to the isolated volume, whereby ventilation air may be supplied to the chamber through the isolated volume. An external radial end of the radial arm supports a first connection box that closes it off. The internal volume of the radial arm communicates with the ventilation air supply source. An external cylindrical wall of the first connection box fits inside an internal cylindrical wall of the external radial end of the radial arm.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Safran Aircraft EnginesInventors: Augustin Marc Michel Curlier, Nicolas Aussedat
