Patents by Inventor Benjamin BOUDSOCQ

Benjamin BOUDSOCQ has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11242766
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring the flow rate of cooling air in a cooling air circuit (13) of a casing (121) of a high-pressure turbine (9) of a turbomachine (1). The invention is characterized in that sensors (21, 22, 24, 26, 28) are used to measure a total pressure at the fan inlet, a static pressure at the outlet of the high-pressure compressor (6), a rotational speed of the low-pressure shaft (101), a rotational speed of the high-pressure shaft (91) and a degree of valve opening of the cooling air circuit (13), a calculation unit is used to calculate the flow rate of cooling air on the basis of at least the measurement of these.

  • Patent number: 10739086
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger (10) for heat-exchange between a first fluid and a second fluid, comprising a membrane separating the two fluids and a heat-conductive element (17) in thermal contact with the membrane and with the first fluid, characterised in that said heat-conductive element (17) moves between an active position and an inactive position, such that the capacity of heat exchange with the first fluid is weaker in the inactive position than in the active position. The exchanger is applied, in particular, for the cooling of fluid in the secondary stream of a turbofan.
