  • Publication number: 20220213841
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for estimating a dead zone at closing of a flap (P1) of a discharge valve (VBV1) of a turbomachine, in which the actual position of the actuator (V1) is measured for a setpoint closing signal of the flap (P1), a static angle is determined from the actual position, a closing dead zone is determined, corresponding to the fact that the joint (J1) is compressed so as to not let the primary flow pass through the orifice (01) in the secondary flow, by the fact that the dead zone is equal to a reference dead zone, which has been predetermined on a reference turbomachine operating on the ground, to which the measured static angle has been added and from which a reference static angle, which has been predetermined on the reference turbomachine operating in flight, has been subtracted.

  • Publication number: 20220147425
    Abstract: A method detects and localizes a failure of a measurement acquisition channel in an acquisition system including two redundant acquisition channels for the measurement of a physical quantity in an environment. The method uses a processor with a memory storing a model including modeled values of the physical quantity based on measurements of other physical quantities in the environment. The method includes detecting a symptomatic error of a defective acquisition channel when a deviation between the measured values of the two channels reaches a detection threshold, waiting to let the acquisition system evolve for a certain period, and localizing the defective channel among the two channels, when the deviation of the values measured between the channels reaches a localization threshold different from the detection threshold. The localization is made from the comparison of the measured value of each of the channels with a modeled value of the physical quantity.
