  • Patent number: 10604267
    Abstract: A turbine engine includes an element (3), comprising a wall (11) and at least one load-bearing member (17) extending substantially perpendicularly relative to the wall (11), with said member (17) being intended to be attached onto a mounting (18) used for the attachment thereof onto an aircraft structural part. A thermal protection member (23) surrounds said member (17), with said thermal protection member (23) including a base flexibly supported on the wall (11) of the element (3), with said base matching the shape of said wall and at least one covering part which surrounds said load-bearing member.

  • Patent number: 9909455
    Abstract: An intermediate casing comprising an inner annular hub, an outer annular barrel and an annular part for separating flows situated between the hub and the outer barrel. A primary stream is delimited between the hub and the separation part. A secondary stream is delimited between the separation part and the outer barrel. At least one hollow arm extends radially from the hub to the outer barrel, passing through the primary and secondary streams. A transmission shaft extends radially in the hollow arm. The hollow arm comprises a hydraulic-fluid outlet situated downstream of the transmission shaft. The arm further comprises a bypass channel or pocket able to bypass the transmission shaft.

  • Patent number: 8938975
    Abstract: An inner combustion chamber casing of a turbomachine, which is intended to be placed downstream of a centrifugal compressor, is provided. The casing has the shape of a disc, pierced by a central circle, and includes on its disc at least one guide vane of the drawn-off air. The guide vane extends longitudinally over the disc between the periphery of the disc and the central circle and spreads out axially from the disc so as to form with the downstream face of the centrifugal compressor a guide channel for the air which is drawn off upon exit from the said compressor. The guide vane has a curved shape orienting in a radial direction at the level of its most central end.

  • Patent number: 8764385
    Abstract: In an axial-centrifugal compressor, the rotor of which includes an impeller, axial play is controlled by a special air ventilation to the rotor, by a circuit including two parallel arms, flow rates of which are both controlled by respective veins, and moreover the temperature in one of them is changed by a heat exchanger. The ventilation air is thus controlled, both in terms of temperature and flow rate.

  • Patent number: 8721264
    Abstract: A compressor rotor for a turbomachine including at least two disks on a common axis carrying blades and connected together by a tubular wall, forming a surface of revolution, and a centripetal air bleed mechanism including air passages passing through the tubular wall, together with a wall extending along the tubular wall from the through passages up to one of the disks to channel the air stream inside the tubular wall.

  • Patent number: 8186144
    Abstract: A dual-flow turbomachine (10), essentially comprising a fan (14), a compressor (20), a combustion chamber (21), a turbine (22) and an exhaust casing (24), which comprises an auxiliary air compressor (48) driven by a Stirling engine (53) mounted downstream of the combustion chamber (21) and having a hot chamber in thermal contact with the flow (B) of hot gases leaving the turbine and a cold chamber in thermal contact with a flow (A) of cold gases generated by the fan (14) and flowing around the turbine (22) and the exhaust casing (24).
