Patent number: 11866185Abstract: A propulsion system includes a system for producing electricity that supplies electricity to at least one electric motor to which is mechanically coupled a propeller situated near a first longitudinal end of a nacelle that houses at least the system for producing electricity and the at least one electric motor. An air circulation channel, which receives a heat exchanger provided to allow the system for producing electricity to be cooled, extends inside the nacelle from a first end of the air circulation channel situated at the first longitudinal end of the nacelle. A part of the air circulation channel that is contiguous with its first end is delimited by an outer surface of cylindrical shape that surrounds the longitudinal axis of the nacelle.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignees: AIRBUS SAS, AIRBUS OPERATIONS SASInventors: Christophe Labarthe, Franck Alvarez, Fabien Latourelle, Olivier Verseux, Pascal Pome, Jean Francois Allias, Olivier Ciet, Olivier Raspati, Anthony Roux, Benedikt Bammer

Patent number: 11462763Abstract: A system of fuel cells for an aircraft including a plurality of fuel cells, a hydrogen circuit, a cooling circuit and a first air circuit configured to supply oxygen to a first subset of fuel cells having at least two cells. The first air circuit includes an air flow restrictor at each fuel cell inlet of the first subset and configured to distribute the air between the fuel cells of the first subset, and an outlet valve connected to the outlet of the fuel cells of the first subset, the opening of the outlet valve being controlled by a computer as a function of an electrical power that is to be produced by the fuel cells of the first subset. The use of the same air circuit to supply oxygen to several fuel circuits makes it possible to limit the bulk of the fuel cells system.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignees: Airbus SAS, Airbus Operations SAS, Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Didier Poirier, Guido Klewer, Anthony Roux, Olivier Raspati, Matthieu Thomas, Olivier Verseux, Manuel Silvestre Salas

Patent number: 10330221Abstract: A piping system includes a first and a second inner tube assembled end to end and a hot fluid detector. For each inner tube, a first peripheral tube into which the inner tube is introduced and fixed. For each first peripheral tube, a second peripheral tube into which the first peripheral tube is introduced and fixed. A sleeve has a first section which surrounds the ends of the second two peripheral tubes facing one another and a second section which extends between the two ends up to the walls of the first two peripheral tubes. A pipe crosses the sleeve and opening out, on the one hand, into the space between the inner tubes and the first peripheral tubes and, on the other hand, in the vicinity of the hot fluid detector. A piping system of this kind is therefore thermally insulated and allows detection in the event of a leak.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS (S.A.S.)Inventors: Olivier Verseux, David Blain

Fairing device for aircraft propulsion assembly comprising an internal compartment fitted with a fan
Patent number: 10066551Abstract: Ventilation of an internal compartment of a fairing device of a propulsion assembly in an aircraft moving at low speed on the ground or when it is stopped cannot be provided optimally using a conventional dynamic air intake. To solve this problem, the use of a fan housed within the internal compartment is proposed, for which the fan propeller can alternately be coupled to an accessory gear box to drive the fan propeller, and uncoupled from the accessory gear box when it is unnecessary to drive the fan propeller or when it represents a danger.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Airbus Operations (S.A.S.)Inventor: Olivier Verseux -
