  • Patent number: 10422285
    Abstract: Emergency start-up device for a turboshaft engine of a helicopter, comprising: a hydraulic motor which is mechanically connected to said turboshaft engine; a hydropneumatic store which is connected to said hydraulic motor by a hydraulic circuit for supplying pressurized liquid to said hydraulic motor; and a hydraulic valve which has controlled quick opening, arranged on the hydraulic circuit between said store and said hydraulic motor, and is suitable for being placed on command at least in an open position in which the liquid can supply said hydraulic motor, or in a closed position in which said hydraulic motor is no longer supplied with pressurized liquid.

  • Patent number: 10087838
    Abstract: A device and a method of temporarily increasing power of at least a first turbine engine is disclosed. The device includes a coolant liquid tank and a first injection circuit connected to the tank and leading to at least one injection nozzle suitable for being installed upstream from at least one compressor stage of the first turbine engine. This first injection circuit includes at least a first flow valve configured to open when a pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold compared with a downstream pressure from at least one compressor stage of a second turbine engine so as to enable the coolant liquid to flow towards the injection nozzle of the first injection circuit.

  • Publication number: 20170016398
    Abstract: Emergency start-up device for a turboshaft engine of a helicopter, comprising: a hydraulic motor which is mechanically connected to said turboshaft engine; a hydropneumatic store which is connected to said hydraulic motor by a hydraulic circuit for supplying pressurised liquid to said hydraulic motor; and a hydraulic valve which has controlled quick opening, arranged on the hydraulic circuit between said store and said hydraulic motor, and is suitable for being placed on command at least in an open position in which the liquid can supply said hydraulic motor, or in a closed position in which said hydraulic motor is no longer supplied with pressurised liquid.

  • Patent number: 9546599
    Abstract: A turbine engine for an aircraft including a turbine engine shaft and a pumping module, including: a pump shaft, connected to the turbine engine shaft; a pump for supplying fuel to the turbine engine, mounted on the pump shaft, configured to deliver a flow of fuel as a function of a speed of rotation of the turbine engine shaft; and an electrical device mounted on the pump shaft and configured, according to a first mode of operation, to drive the pump shaft in rotation to actuate the supply pump and, according to a second mode of operation, to be driven in rotation by the pump shaft to supply electrical power to equipment of the turbine engine.
