Publication number: 20240402031Abstract: In order to detect possible leaks of fuel into oil used in an aircraft engine when their circuits are connected via a heat exchanger liable to deteriorate, a gauge measuring the liquid level in a tank in which the oil is stored, and incorporated into the oil circuit, is designed so that its float sinks to the bottom of the tank in the event of sufficient leakage, when the density of the mixture becomes lower.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Sébastien BOURGET, Eddy Stéphane Joël FONTANEL, Sébastien GAMEIRO, Gerard Philippe GAUTHIER

Patent number: 11773747Abstract: A turbine rotor for aircraft turbine engine includes a mobile disc supporting mobile blades, the mobile disc including a plurality of slots into which are inserted the roots of the mobile blades a passage being formed between the bottom of the slots and the roots of the mobile blades inserted into the slots. The rotor also includes a circulation channel configured to allow circulation of fluid, the circulation channel including the passage, and a calibration device configured to allow the flow of a first fluid flow rate in the circulation channel when the temperature within the channel is less than a predetermined temperature threshold value, and to change state so as to allow the flow of a second fluid flow rate, greater than the first flow rate, in the channel, when the temperature within the channel is greater than or equal to said predetermined threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Eddy Stephane Joel Fontanel, Matthieu Etienne Attali, Gerard Philippe Gauthier, Wilfried Lionel Schweblen
