  • Publication number: 20250027429
    Abstract: A heat exchanger of the air/oil type, for an annular air stream of a turbomachine, comprising a heat exchange zone with oil passages and heat exchange surfaces with the air, said heat exchange zone forming an axial air passage and having a profile facing the air flow and included in a plane perpendicular to said air flow, said profile of the exchange zone thermal being in an arc of a circle so as to be able to be arranged in the annular air stream, remarkable in that said heat exchanger comprises on a radially internal or external face of the exchange zone thermal, an oil inlet and an oil outlet, the oil passages comprising several paths between said oil inlet and said oil outlet, distributed along the profile in circular arc of the heat exchange zone.

  • Publication number: 20250020079
    Abstract: An axial turbomachine comprising a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a flow of radially external air, called secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary flow and a tertiary flow flow in a tertiary flow vein radially external to said primary flow; and a heat exchanger disposed in the tertiary flow vein. The heat exchanger extends radially and axially in an upstream section section of the tertiary flow vein, having a divergent longitudinal section, said tertiary flow vein comprises a downstream section presenting a converging longitudinal section, following the tertiary flow.

  • Publication number: 20250020077
    Abstract: An axial turbomachine, comprising a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a radially external air flow, called a secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary flow and a tertiary flow, the tertiary flow being in a tertiary flow vein radially external to said primary flow, delimited by an internal wall and an external wall; and an air/oil type heat exchanger, disposed in the tertiary flow vein. The heat exchanger comprises several angular sectors, each angular sector comprising an oil inlet on the internal wall at an angular end of said sector, and an oil outlet on said internal wall at an opposite angular end of said sector.

  • Publication number: 20250012205
    Abstract: An axial turbomachine including a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a radially external air flow, called secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary f flow and a tertiary flow, said tertiary flow being in a tertiary flow vein radially external to said flow primary; and an air/oil type heat exchanger disposed in the tertiary flow stream and including heat exchange surfaces with air and oil passages extending in said tertiary flow stream; and structural arms extending radially through the tertiary flow vein. Each structural arm has in the tertiary flow vein a cross section with a downstream portion having a width decreasing towards the downstream, the heat exchanger being adjacent to said downstream portions of the structural arms.

  • Patent number: 11619169
    Abstract: A matrix for exchanging heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, in particular for an air-oil application in a turbine engine, includes an envelope defining a flow path of the first fluid and a network extending into the flow path and in which the second fluid flows. Along the axis defined by the curvature of the matrix, the dimensions of the envelope vary circumferentially (T(A)) and radially (R(A)). The matrix may be used with a heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20220356844
    Abstract: Heat exchange devices for aircraft turbine engines include a heat exchanger and an inlet scoop comprising an air intake configured for supplying the heat exchanger. The air intake of the inlet scoop is divided into several mouthpieces, each defining an air flux supplying the heat exchanger.
