  • Patent number: 5615547
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for regulating oil and fuel temperatures in a turbojet engine having an engine accessory driven at constant speed by a power transmission which is driven by the turbojet engine. The system has a first closed oil circuit for circulating oil through the turbojet engine, a second closed oil circuit for circulating oil through the power transmission, a fuel circuit for supplying fuel to the turbojet engine, an air/oil heat exchanger connected to the first closed oil circuit to pass oil in heat exchange relationship with air, an oil/fuel heat exchanger connected to the fuel circuit and to the first closed oil circuit downstream of the air/oil heat exchanger to pass oil and fuel in heat exchange relationship, and an oil/oil heat exchanger connected to the first and second closed oil circuits to pass oil in heat exchange relationship, the connection to the first closed oil circuit being downstream of the oil/fuel heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 5251661
    Abstract: A device for the remote filling of an oil tank, particularly an oil tank of an aircraft engine, is provided with a lock which interconnects the inlet nozzle of the oil filler and the outlet nozzle of excess oil remover so that the oil supply pipe cannot be connected to the inlet nozzle to supply oil to the tank until the removal pipe has been connected to the outlet nozzle of the excess oil remover. The lock includes a locking member which engages in a notch in a slide valve housed in the inlet nozzle to prevent the valve from moving to open the nozzle while a slide valve in the outlet nozzle is closed, but which moves clear of the notch when the outlet nozzle slide valve is opened by connection of the removal pipe to the outlet nozzle.
