  • Publication number: 20240110523
    Abstract: A turbojet includes in succession, from upstream to downstream in the flow direction of a primary air stream: a low-pressure casing, an intermediate casing, and a high-pressure casing that are longitudinally aligned and which jointly delimit an internal annular passage for the circulation of the air stream. The intermediate casing delimits a portion of the annular passage called a gooseneck and includes: an air discharge system able to extract air from the air stream circulating in a first zone of the gooseneck and to discharge it outside the passage, and an air extraction system able to extract air circulating in a second zone of the gooseneck for an air conditioning system, the second air extraction zone being located downstream of the first air extraction zone.

  • Publication number: 20240003261
    Abstract: This method for stopping at least one aircraft turbogenerator (1) comprises: —controlling the stopping (E1) of the turbogenerator (1); —passing from the nominal operating speed (Nref) of the power shaft (3, 12) to a first operating speed (N1) lower than the nominal speed (Nref), for a first predetermined duration (t2); —controlling the extinction of the combustion chamber (6) of the gas turbine (2); —maintaining the rotation of the gas turbine at a second speed (N2) for a second predetermined duration (t3), the power shaft (3, 12) being at a second speed (N2) lower than the first operating speed (N1) and, —controlling the stopping of the reversible electric machine (7) in order to no longer drive the power shaft (3, 12), in order to cause a progressive stopping (E9, E10) of the rotation of the gas turbine (2).

  • Publication number: 20230094812
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft turbine engine (101) which comprises, downstream of the low pressure compressor of its low pressure body (104) and upstream of its combustion chamber (102), an electric motor (206) which is configured to rotate a rotor blade ring so as to generate a flow of air. Moreover, the rotational speed of the electric machine rotor is independent of the rotational speed of the compressor rotor.

  • Patent number: 10858112
    Abstract: An aircraft turboprop engine has at least a low-pressure body and a high-pressure body. The low-pressure body drives a propeller by a gearbox. The turboprop engine also includes means for supplying air to an air-conditioning circuit of an aircraft cabin, wherein the means for supplying air has at least one compressor of which the rotor is coupled to the low-pressure body. The compressor has an air inlet connected to means for bleeding air from an air inlet duct of the turboprop engine.

  • Patent number: 10329023
    Abstract: An aircraft turboprop engine (310) including at least a low-pressure body (12) and a high-pressure body (14), possibly also an intermediate-pressure body. At least one of the bodies includes a compressor. The low-pressure body drives a first gearbox (16) The turboprop engine also includes at least one load compressor (60) for supplying air to an air-conditioning circuit of an aircraft cabin. A rotor (61) of the load compressor is coupled to the low-pressure body. The load compressor (60) includes an air inlet (62) connected to a conduit (72) to bleed air from the compressor of the turboprop engine when all of the aforementioned bodies include only a single compressor, or from the compressor of the low-pressure body or the compressor of the intermediate-pressure body of the turboprop engine when all of the bodies include at least two compressors.
