Patents by Inventor Laurent Palmisano

Laurent Palmisano has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7070387
    Abstract: A housing including an outer casing provided with bearer hooks for stator rings and sealing rings. The hooks are discontinuous angularly and joined to a casing by tenon and mortise assemblies. The hooks and the casing may therefore be made in different materials, the hook material having good resistance to heating and the other material lending itself better to machining and forming. Ventilation, clearance piloting and heat protection are facilitated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7000404
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of supplying cooling air to the hot portions of a turbojet that comprises, from upstream to downstream: a compressor; a diffuser; a combustion chamber; a distributor; and a turbine driving said compressor, in which method a flow of air is bled from the flow of air delivered by the compressor, the bled-off flow is cooled in a heat exchanger situated radially outside the combustion chamber, and is then directed radially inwards via the stationary blades of the distributor and used for cooling the moving wheel of the turbine, the method wherein the flow of cooling air is bled from the zone of the end of the combustion chamber that surrounds the diffuser, and wherein the stationary blades of the distributor are also cooled by a second flow of air bled from the diffuser.

  • Publication number: 20050150970
    Abstract: The cooling system (30) for an aircraft engine (10) comprises a channel (32) that draws off cold air in the secondary air flow (200), and a heat exchanger (34) located in the channel (32) and in which hot air circulates. The channel (32) comprises: a supply pipe (322) and an evacuation pipe (326) fixed to the nacelle (324), an intermediate box (324) located between the supply pipe (322) and the evacuation pipe (326), fixed to the engine (10), and in which the heat exchanger (34) is placed. Application to cooling of hot parts (22) in an aircraft engine (10).

  • Publication number: 20040184912
    Abstract: A housing (21) comprises an outer casing (22) provided with bearer hooks (24) for stator rings (26) and sealing rings(27); hooks (24) are discontinuous angularly and joined to casing (22) by tenon and mortise assemblies (28,29). The hooks and the casing may therefore be made in different materials, the hook material having good resistance to heating and the other material lending itself better to machining and forming. Ventilation, clearance piloting and heat protection are facilitated.

  • Patent number: 5915919
    Abstract: Layout for adjusting the diameter of a turbine engine ring (5) positioned facing mobile rotor blades (4) and connected to a case element (7). The latter is provided with a cavity (16) communicating with chambers (21, 23) around a gas flow stream (31). A limited air current traverses the cavity (16) and is sufficiently reduced to ensure the development of a heat convection, which renders uniform the temperature of the case element (7) and the ring (5) and consequently the diameter of the latter.

  • Patent number: 5800125
    Abstract: Device for cooling the external part of a turbine disk (2) by means of an external fresh air current (circuit II) without mixing with the warmer ventilation from the center of the disk (circuit I). A part (30) through which ducts (31, 32) pass that intersect without interruption, prevents mixing of substantially perpendicular streams in front of a part (22) of the disk (2) and a mixture which reduces the cooling efficiency.
