  • Patent number: 11156114
    Abstract: A turbomachine including at least one stator vane sector (10) and a fluid distribution circuit (22), the stator vane sector comprising at least one vane (12), a fluid inlet (25a), a fluid outlet (25b), and a channel (24a) providing fluid flow connection between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet while extending at least in part in the vane (12), the vane and the channel being adapted, to enable heat to be exchanged between a hot fluid passing through the channel and a stream of cold air passing through the vane sector, the fluid distribution circuit (22) presenting a feed pipe (22a) and a recovery pipe (22b), the fluid inlet (25a) being in fluid flow connection with a branch tapping (23a) of the feed pipe (22a) while the fluid outlet (25b) is in fluid flow connection with a branch tapping (23b) of the recovery pipe (22b).

  • Patent number: 10082080
    Abstract: A forward fan rotor is disclosed with a hub of axis of rotation (X) and a cone mounted on the hub of the fan. The cone comprises an air bleed orifice which opens into an air duct of which a forward end portion passes through the fan rotor, said forward end portion comprising mechanical air entrainment means. The air bleed orifice has an annular shape and in that the cone is divided by said orifice into a front vertex portion and a rear frustoconical portion. A turbomachine forward axial spool equipped with such a fan rotor is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10036318
    Abstract: A device for circulation of air for a turbomachine, the device including an inlet provided to receive incident airflow, air circulation ducts connected to the inlet, a central part including side walls, peripheral walls arranged at a distance from the central part, so as to form the air circulation ducts, each duct being arranged between one of the side walls of the central part and one of the peripheral walls, each peripheral wall including an upstream end portion delimiting with one of the side walls an inlet orifice of one of the ducts and a downstream end portion delimiting with one of the side walls an outlet orifice of one of the ducts, at least one member mobile in translation relative to the peripheral walls, the at least one mobile member being formed in the central part and arranged so that its displacement varies a section of each of the inlet orifices and a section of at least one of the outlet orifices.
