  • Patent number: 10995698
    Abstract: A mixer assembly group for a turbofan engine, having a primary flow channel extending along a central axis of the turbofan engine and a secondary flow channel. The mixer assembly group includes a mixer for guiding a first fluid flow from the primary flow channel and a second fluid flow from the secondary flow channel in the direction of an exhaust of the turbofan engine, as well as for intermixing the first and second fluid flows, and a connection appliance, which has at least one connection component that is fixated at the mixer and by means of which the mixer assembly group is to be fixated at two different first and second engine components of the turbofan engine, with are subject to operating temperatures of different heights during operation of the turbofan engine.

  • Patent number: 10947927
    Abstract: It is provided a mixer for an engine, that for the mixing of fluid flows from a primary flow channel and a secondary flow channel of the engine, respectively has multiple first and second guide elements that alternate along a circumferential direction and extend along a central axis, wherein the first guide elements are formed in a diffusor-like manner with at least one radially outwardly extending section, and the second guide elements are formed in a nozzle-like manner with at least one radially inwardly extending section, and the mixer is made of a composite material with at least two separate material layers. The at least two material layers are arranged with their edges along the central axis in an overlapping manner and/or edge to edge, and namely in an area of the mixer in which the first and second guide elements are provided.

  • Patent number: 10487745
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing at least one part of an engine component by means of a blank from an intumescent material, which contains at least one fibrous matrix of organic and/or inorganic fibers and an intumescent substance, is provided. The blank is created from the intumescent material with a three-dimensional structure that is already adjusted with respect to its contours to the contours of the part of the engine component to be manufactured and the blank comprising the three-dimensional structure is impregnated through a hardening resin, and is connected, prior to or after the impregnation, to at least one support material that is also already adjusted to the contours of the part to be manufactured and at least partially forms the engine component together with the blank connected thereto.

  • Publication number: 20180072036
    Abstract: It is provided a method for manufacturing a composite component from which an engine component can be at least partially manufactured, wherein the composite component has a multi-layer structure and at least one layer with an intumescent poriferous material as well as at least one further layer. For manufacturing the composite component at least one material layer from the intumescent and poriferous material and at least one material layer for the at least one further layer are stacked on top of each other in a tool and at least the intumescent poriferous material is impregnated by means of curing resin after the material layers have been stacked. It is provided that prior to impregnating, a pressure is applied to the material layers stacked on top of each other to compress at least the material layer of intumescent poriferous material.
