  • Publication number: 20240068377
    Abstract: A hybrid turbofan engine for an aircraft, comprising a fan, an electric motor/generator and a gas generator, the engine comprising, between the fan and a splitter that separates the flows, an internal wall for delimiting an air duct, situated upstream of inlet guide vanes of a primary duct, and, upstream of outlet guide vanes, an internal upstream wall for delimiting a secondary duct, the motor/generator having a stator carried by a stator support fixed to a stator part of the engine. According to the invention, a plurality of heat pipe for cooling the motor/generator are provided, each heat pipe having an evaporation section fixed to the stator support, and a condensation section fixed to the internal wall or the internal upstream wall.

  • Patent number: 11846234
    Abstract: An installation for supplying a cryogenic fuel to a combustion chamber of a turbine engine of an aircraft including a tank, a mixing chamber, and one or more heat exchangers. The tank stores cryogenic fuel in a and connects to a combustion chamber for supplying the combustion chamber with cryogenic fuel in the supercritical or gaseous state. The one or more heat exchangers are provided between the cryogenic fuel and air of an air-conditioning circuit of the aircraft, mounted in a line connecting the tank for cryogenic fuel to the mixing chamber and in a line to be connected to the air-conditioning circuit of the aircraft, the heat exchange taking place therein so as to cool the air of the air-conditioning circuit of the aircraft and to increase the temperature of the cryogenic fuel coming from the tank.
