  • Publication number: 20170301157
    Abstract: A method of notifying an authorization to shut down completely an aircraft gas turbine engine, the method being applied after detecting that the engine has passed to an idling speed, and including a) an evaluation step of using a value of a first operating parameter of the engine to evaluate a value for a second parameter T45MG wherein a thermal behavior of a part of the engine that might be subjected to coking; b) a comparison step (E30) of comparing the value of the second parameter T45MG with a predefined threshold value T45thresh corresponding to a value of the second parameter that does not lead to coking of the part; and c) a notification step of notifying authorization to shut down completely the engine if the value of the second parameter T45MG is lower than the value of the predefined threshold T45thresh, else reiterating steps a) to c).

  • Publication number: 20090116955
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine engine (10), particularly for a helicopter, comprising a gas generator (12) and a free turbine (14) rotated by a gas flow (F) generated by the gas generator. The invention is characterized in that the turbine engine also comprises heating means (26) placed between the gas generator and the free turbine (14), the said heating means (26) being capable of increasing the temperature of the gas flow (f) generated by the gas generator (12) and driving the free turbine.
