  • Patent number: 11873729
    Abstract: A turbofan engine has a primary duct, in which there flows a primary flow at a primary pressure and a secondary duct, which radially surrounds the primary duct and in which there flows a secondary flow at a secondary pressure. The primary duct includes at least one compressor configured to compress the primary flow, a turbine driving the compressor in rotation and a combustion chamber designed to receive, at an inlet, the primary air flow compressed by the compressor. The turbomachine further includes a cooling circuit extending between the compressor and the turbine. The cooling circuit has an air flow rate regulating device arranged upstream of the turbine and having at least one valve that is configured to move between an open position and a closed position, located between the compressor and the combustion chamber in the primary duct and the pressure (PS) in the secondary duct.

  • Patent number: 10557376
    Abstract: A turbine engine unit for lubricating a bearing holder. A turbine engine unit is provided, including an inter-turbine housing that includes a hub including a bearing holder, a ferrule extending around and at a distance from the hub, at least one arm extending radially between the hub and the ferrule, and at least one lead-through for lubricating the bearing holder. The lead-through includes a first pipe having an end portion that can be screwed onto the hub so as to place the first pipe in fluid communication with the bearing holder, an intermediate portion secured to the end portion placed inside the arm when the end portion is screwed onto the hub, and a clamping portion secured to the end portion and rotatable by a clamping tool. The turbine engine unit is characterized in that the clamping portion is located between the screwable end portion and the intermediate portion. A corresponding turbine engine unit assembly method is also provided.
