OIL SYSTEM FOR A TURBINE ENGINE
Oil system for a turbomachine, making it possible to continue the supply of oil to the pieces of equipment of the turbomachine in case of occurrence of a fire within the turbomachine, including an oil circuit, at least one oil-consuming piece of equipment, supplied by the oil circuit, a pumping unit, including at least one speed-pilotable electrically driven pump, supplying the oil circuit, and an electronic control unit, configured to pilot the electrically driven pump, wherein the electronic control unit includes two separate logics of piloting the electrically driven pump, and wherein the electronic control unit is configured to pilot the electrically driven pump according to the first logic by default and to switch to the second logic in case of receipt of a signal representative of the presence of a fire or of an overheating.
OIL DEFLECTOR AND TURBOCHARGER
An oil deflector comprising: a cylindrical portion; a first guide surface extending radially outward from the cylindrical portion; and a second guide surface that is located on a radially outer side of the cylindrical portion and extends in a direction that crosses an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion and the first guide surface.
Crank device for performing turbine engine maintenance
A maintenance system for a turbine engine includes a pump and a crank device operatively coupled to the pump. The pump includes a pump housing and a pump drive that is configured to operatively couple to the turbine engine. The crank device is operatively coupled to the pump and includes a crank drive that is configured to enable movement of the pump drive and thereby movement of the turbine engine during non-operational periods, such as during a maintenance or inspection period.

REDUNDANT ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN FUEL AND OIL PUMPING SYSTEM FOR GAS TURBINE WITH BIDIRECTIONAL PUMP MOTOR
A redundant oil and fuel pumping system for use with a gas turbine engine. The pumping system includes a plurality of power sources, a fuel system and an oil system. The fuel system pump being driven by electric motors controlled via variable frequency drives powered by the plurality of power sources. The oil system pump being driven by electric motors controlled via variable frequency drives powered by the plurality of power sources.
SYSTEM FOR LUBRICATING COMPONENTS OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE INCLUDING A LUBRICANT BYPASS CONDUIT
A system for lubricating components of a gas turbine engine includes a supply pump to pump lubricant from a reservoir through a supply conduit to lubricated component. An outer body deicing circuit is fluidly coupled in series with the supply conduit. Moreover, a scavenge conduit extends from the lubricated component to the reservoir and a scavenge pump pumps the lubricant from the lubricated component through the scavenge conduit. In addition, a valve is fluidly coupled in series with the supply conduit and the scavenge conduit and a bypass conduit extends from the valve to a location on the supply conduit downstream of the deicing circuit. When the lubricant is supplied to the valve, the valve directs the lubricant flowing through the scavenge conduit into the reservoir. When the supply of lubricant to the valve is halted, the valve directs the lubricant flowing through the scavenge conduit into the bypass conduit.
