  • Publication number: 20180258779
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide vane for a twin-spool aircraft turbomachine, of which the aerodynamic part (32) comprises an internal lubricant cooling passage (50a) extending along a principal lubricant flow direction (52a). According to the invention, the aerodynamic part is made in a single piece and also comprises heat transfer fins (80a, 80b) arranged in the passage (50a) connecting the intrados and extrados walls (70, 72) and extending approximately parallel to the direction (52a), these fins being distributed in successive rows along the principal direction (52a) and made such that for two rows (R1, R2) of staggered directly consecutive fins, the row (R1) comprises fins (80a) forming a positive acute angle A1 with a dummy reference plane (Pf), while the row (R2) comprises fins (80b) forming a negative acute angle A2 with this plane (Pf).

  • Publication number: 20180156237
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide vane intended to be mounted in a turbine engine between an inner shroud (17) and an outer shroud (16), comprising a longitudinal straightening body (41) for an air flow extending between a first end (42) intended to be positioned at the inner shroud (17) and a second end (44) intended to be positioned at the outer shroud (16), the longitudinal straightening body having an aerodynamic profile defined by a leading edge (41a) and a trailing edge (41b) in the flow direction of the air flow, and by a camber line (41c) extending from the leading edge (41a) to the trailing edge (41b).

  • Publication number: 20180023406
    Abstract: The invention relates to an intermediate case (25) for a twin spool turbomachine for an aircraft, comprising a hub (26), an outer shell (23) and outlet guide vanes (24) installed at their ends on the hub and on the outer shell, and each of at least some of the outlet guide vanes (24) performing a heat exchanger function and comprising a lubricant passage (50a, 50b) designed to be cooled by the fan flow (58) following an outer surface of the outlet guide vane. According to the invention, the case also comprises at least one lubricant duct (55) passing along a circumferential direction of the hub (26) and at least part of which is made from a single casting with the hub, the lubricant duct (55) having at least one lateral opening communicating with the lubricant passage (50a, 50b) of at least one of the vanes (24).

  • Publication number: 20170284417
    Abstract: A guide vane for a dual flow aircraft turbine engine, the aerodynamic part of the vane including an inner duct for lubricant cooling extending in a main direction and being partly bounded by a pressure side wall and a suction side wall of the vane. A heat conduction matrix is lodged in the duct, and presents main heat transfer wings extending parallel to the direction, and laid out in staggered rows.

  • Publication number: 20170204879
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide vane (24) for a dual flow aircraft turbine engine, the aerodynamic part (32) of the vane comprising an inner duct (50a) for lubricant cooling extending in a main direction (52a) and being partly bounded by a pressure side wall (70) and a suction side wall (72) of the vane. According to the invention, the aerodynamic part (32) of the vane is embodied from as a single piece, including also the heat transfer fins (80), arranged in the duct (50a) expanding substantially parallel to the direction (52a), the fins (80) being spaced from each other depending on the direction (52a) as well as a transversal direction (60) of the vane, so that at least some of the fins (80) are arranged substantially staggered.
