  • Publication number: 20210156302
    Abstract: A constant-volume combustion system for a turbomachine includes a plurality of combustion chambers distributed in an annular manner about an axis defining an axial direction, each combustion chamber including an intake port and an exhaust port; a selective closure member rotationally movable about the axis with respect to the combustion chambers, the selective closure member including a ferrule facing the intake and exhaust ports of the combustion chambers, the ferrule containing at least one intake aperture intended to cooperate with the exhaust port of each chamber and at least one exhaust aperture intended to cooperate with the exhaust port of each chamber. Each intake aperture and each exhaust aperture are segmented by at least one segment extending in each aperture in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20210062679
    Abstract: A bearing support designed to be secured to a stationary turbojet element for supporting a journal, including a cone which widens from a central portion for supporting the journal to a portion for securing to the stationary element, a cylindrical body extending the portion for securing to the stationary element while surrounding the cone, an upstream skirt carried by the cone for defining an upstream enclosure for the central portion, and at least one downstream revolution element carried by the cone for defining a downstream enclosure for the central portion. The bearing support can be made as a single part produced by additive manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20200224878
    Abstract: A constant volume combustion chamber for a turbine engine, includes an intake port, an exhaust port, and a first rotary shutter facing the intake and exhaust ports and configured to rotate around an axis in a first direction of rotation, the first shutter including an aperture intended to cooperate alternately with the intake and exhaust ports during the rotation of the first shutter. The chamber further includes at least one second rotary shutter facing the intake and exhaust ports and configured to rotate around the axis in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction, the second shutter including an aperture intended to cooperate alternately with the intake and exhaust ports during the rotation of the second shutter, the first and second shutters being synchronized and configured so that their respective apertures intersect alternately when both are facing the intake and when both are facing exhaust ports.

  • Publication number: 20200166207
    Abstract: A constant volume combustion system includes at least one combustion chamber having at least one admission port and an exhaust port. The system also includes at least one elastically deformable tongue made of ceramic matrix composite material forming an air admission valve, the tongue being present inside the chamber and being positioned facing the admission port, the tongue having a first end that is stationary relative to an inside wall of the chamber and a second end, opposite from the first end, the second end being free and movable relative to the inside wall.
