Patent number: 11215118Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system including a turbojet and heat exchanger system including a heat exchanger. A supply connection and evacuation connection are forward, and aft are a transfer connection and a scoop connection, a supply pipe connected to the supply connection, and which bleeds hot air from the compression stages. A transfer pipe connected to the transfer connection transfers hot air to an air management system. A scoop connected to a scoop connection bleeds cold air from a fan duct and an evacuation pipe, including an inlet connected to the evacuation connection and an outlet, which emerges on the outside, where hot air through the heat exchanger from the supply pipe to the transfer pipe passes along a first transfer direction and cold air passes through the heat exchanger from each scoop to the inlet along a second transfer direction parallel to the first transfer direction in the opposite direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignees: Airbus (S.A.S.), Airbus Operations (S.A.S.), Airbus Operations, S.L.Inventors: Bruno Medda, Thomas Stevens, Julien Cayssials, Adeline Soulie, Didier Poirier, Pierre-Alain Pinault, Esteban Martino González, Juan Tomas Prieto Padilla, Diego Barron Vega

Publication number: 20200164989Abstract: A two-flow jet engine comprising a high-pressure compressor and a drawing system configured to draw air from said jet engine and send it to an air system, and which comprises a pressurized air supply which draws pressurized air from the high-pressure compressor, a pipe which draws outside air, a turbine of which an inlet is connected to the outlet of the pressurized air supply, and a compressor of which an inlet is connected to the pipe, and an outlet is connected to the air system, and where the rotation of the turbine drives the rotation of the compressor. This particular arrangement makes possible an energy gain by virtue of the combined action of the turbine and of the compressor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Pierre-Alain PINAULT, Stephane WARNET, Stéphane MACHADO
