  • Patent number: 11920483
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for monitoring the operating state of a system for positioning variable-geometry members (18) of a turbomachine (10), the members (18) being configured to travel over an operating area comprising a first position P1 and a second position P2, the method comprising the steps of: —(E23) determining a first pivoting speed V1 from the first position P1 to the second position P2; —(E25) determining a second pivoting speed from the second position P2 to the first position P1; and—(E26) determining an anomaly in the operation of the system for positioning the members (18) if the first speed V1 is lower than a first determined speed threshold and/or if the second speed V2 is lower than a second determined speed threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170096946
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine engine fuel injection architecture including: two fuel injection manifolds (30A, 30B), each manifold being suitable for dispensing a fuel flow to at least one associated injector; a main fuel-proportioning device (32) suitable for proportioning a total fuel flow (Q) to be supplied to at least both injection manifolds (30A, 30B); and a distribution proportioning device (31), located between the main fuel-proportioning device (32) and the injection manifolds (30A, 30B) and suitable for distributing at least part of the total fuel flow between both manifolds. The architecture is characterized in that it also includes a bypass valve (35) suitable for discharging a flow from a first manifold (30A, 30B) to a second manifold (30B, 30A), in the event of excess fuel pressure in the first manifold. The invention also relates to a turbine engine combustion assembly including said architecture.
