Abstract

An inner ring for supporting variable-pitch blades of an axial compressor stator of a turbomachine includes two or more ring sectors, assembled to form the inner ring, each ring sector including plural housings for receiving a pivot axis of one of the blades. At each junction plane between the ends of two successive ring sectors, an assembly pin and a cavity for receiving the assembly pin are engaged. The assembly pin is fixed on one end one of the two successive ring sectors and the cavity is formed at the end of the other of the two successive ring sectors. The cavity receives the assembly pin with a mounting clearance allowing a mounting by sliding fit, and the assembly pin is made of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of a material constituting the successive ring sectors.

Abstract

A heat exchange system for a turbine engine is provided. The heat exchange system includes a cavity having an air intake, a heat exchanger arranged in the cavity and having a first circuit in which a first fluid can circulate, a movable flap mounted at the air intake and moving between two positions permitting or preventing, respectively, the circulation of air flow in the cavity, and a control device having a movable member configured to drive the movement of the movable flap. The control device can be arranged in the heat exchanger supply circuit and configured so as to permit or prevent the circulation of the first fluid to the heat exchanger and simultaneously move the movable flap between at least one of the two positions.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing the drawing of mechanical power from a two-spool or three-spool turbine engine (1) for an aircraft, in which at least two electric machines (3, 4) are suitable for recovering mechanical energy, one from a shaft driven by one of the turbines of the turbine engine (1), the other from a shaft driven by another turbine, in which the distribution of the drawing between one and the other of the two electric machines (3, 4) is controlled dynamically according to the phases of flight.

Abstract

An oil recovery device for a reducer of an aircraft turbomachine, the device having a gutter extending around an axis and being intended to be arranged facing oil ejection means formed in a ring gear of the reducer of the turbomachine. The gutter can include at least one oil reception chamber which extends around the axis and which is open towards the axis so as to receive the oil coming from the oil ejection means. The reception chamber can be delimited by a first wall and a second wall arranged facing each other. The first wall can have an axial oil evacuation orifice and the second wall can have a radial dimension relative to the axis which increases increasingly along the axis towards the axial orifice, so as to allow oil ejected by the reducer to be conveyed to the axial orifice.
