  • Method of testing the integrity of a fluid flow regulator system for a turbine engine
    Patent number: 10760439
    Abstract: A method of testing the integrity of a fluid flow regulator system for a turbine engine, the system including a fluid-passing duct associated with a movable flap; an actuator having a movable drive element suitable for delivering a movement force between a first position corresponding to the closed position of the movable flap and a second position corresponding to the open position of the movable flap; a push-pull cable interconnecting the drive element and the movable flap; and return device exerting a return force for moving the flap; the method of testing the integrity of the system including in succession: a step of supplying power to the actuator in order to place the drive element in the second position; a step of interrupting the supply of power; and a step of measuring the position of the drive element.
