  • Patent number: 11319884
    Abstract: A distributor valve comprising a second element configured to be displaced relative to a first element, so as to form an overall passage opening of variable fuel passage section corresponding to the intersection of a first passage opening and a second passage opening. The head portion of the second passage opening comprises a first inclination having a first average slope, the intermediate portion of the second passage opening comprises a second inclination having a second average slope strictly greater than said first average slope, and the foot portion of the second passage opening comprises a third inclination having a third average slope, strictly less than said second average slope.

  • Patent number: 10890117
    Abstract: A fluid supply system (1) for turbine engine, includes a high pressure volumetric pump (4), a fluid metering device (6) and a control valve (8) configured to vary the flow rate of fluid in a bypass circuit (14) so as to regulate the pressure difference between an input and an output of the metering device (6). The control valve (8) includes an obturator, the variable position of which is measured by a sensor (20). An electronic regulation system (3) compares the measured position of the obturator with a position set-point of the obturator determined as a function of a flight condition of the aircraft and/or a measured fluid temperature and corresponding to a fluid flow rate set-point in the bypass circuit (14). The flow rate of the high pressure pump (4) is commanded so that the measured position of the obturator adapts to the position set-point.

  • Publication number: 20180195437
    Abstract: A turbomachine air starter, including a first compartment wherein non-overrunning elements of the air starter are situated, corresponding to elements which are only run in the turbomachine starting phase, and a second compartment wherein overrunning elements of the air starter are situated, corresponding to the elements which are run throughout an operating time of the turbomachine, including the starting phase. The first compartment includes an oil receptacle for oil splash lubrication of the non-overrunning elements, and the second compartment includes an AWC type oil cavity for lubrication of the overrunning elements supplied by the lubrication oil return of the overrunning elements, in turn supplied with pressurized lubrication oil supplied by the turbomachine, the receptacle and the cavity being internal to the air starter.

  • Patent number: 7971423
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine incorporating a starter mounted on the gear box is disclosed. The gas turbine engine includes an AGB gear housing mechanically connected with an engine shaft for driving auxiliary machines and an air starter mounted on the housing, the starter and housing enclosures being in communication such that the lubricating oil of the starter should be distributed from the AGB housing. The oil enclosure of the starter is pressurized by a source of air, being independent from the AGB housing. Advantageously, the pressurization air is taken from a pressurization enclosure of an engine bearing.

  • Patent number: 5653880
    Abstract: A device for separating and filtering particles in a flow of contaminated fluid, the device including a casing having an inlet duct fitted with a cyclone separator designed to concentrate centrifugally particles in the inlet flow towards the periphery of the flow, a tubular element mounted in the casing with the upstream end of the element adjacent the inlet duct and having a diameter smaller than the inlet duct so that the substantially clean fluid from the cyclone separator flows into a central flow path within the tubular element and the contaminated fluid from the separator flows into a peripheral flow path between the tubular element and the casing, and a filter mounted in the casing adjacent an outlet duct so that the clean fluid in the central flow path passes through a central passage of the filter to the outlet duct and the contaminated fluid in the peripheral flow path is filtered by the filter to form a filtered flow which mixes with the clean fluid in the central passage whereby the fluid flow rat
