Turbogenerator (1) for an aircraft (2) comprising:—a turboshaft engine (3); —an electric generator (4) comprising a rotor (5) driven mechanically by the turboshaft engine (3) and a stator (6) supported by a housing (7) of the electric generator (4); characterized in that the turbogenerator (1) comprises a static separator (8) for separating an air/oil mixture coming from the turboshaft engine (3), the static separator (8) being positioned around the housing (7) of the electric generator (4).

An auxiliary power unit, in particular for an aircraft, includes a gas generator and an electric generator. The electric generator has an input shaft that is connected to an output shaft of the gas generator. The auxiliary power unit also has an accessories housing directly connected to a rotor shaft of the electric generator, wherein the electric generator is interposed between the gas generator and the accessories housing.

An aircraft that includes a hybrid-electric propulsion system is provided. In one aspect, the hybrid-electric propulsion system includes at least one propulsor that includes a gas turbine engine and an electric machine mechanically coupled with a spool of the gas turbine engine. When idle operation is commanded, electrical power is provided to the electric machine to cause the electric machine to apply torque to the spool and fuel provided to the engine can be reduced. Thus, the electric machine is controlled to provide a power assist to maintain the engine at the commanded idle speed whilst reducing fuel consumption.

A fuel tank heat dissipation system for fuel cell (FC) cooling is disclosed. in one example, at least one FC is in thermal communication with an intermediary heat exchanger. A fuel tank is also in fluid communication with the intermediary heat exchanger. A fluid is used to receive heat from the intermediary heat exchanger and flow along a first fluid path to the fuel tank. A nozzle is used to spray the fluid about an interior surface of the fuel tank, where the spray of the fluid about the interior of the fuel tank allows the fluid to dissipate the heat. A second fluid path from the fuel tank to the intermediary heat exchanger, the second fluid path to return the fluid that has dissipated the heat to the intermediary heat exchanger.

An electric module of a fan includes a fan provided with blades which are rotatably movable inside a casing, and an electric machine having a rotor secured to the fan and a stator integrated into said casing. The rotor of the electric machine is integrated into the fan and includes a removable ring which captures axially and transversely from the radially outer ends the blades of the fan and which is received inside said stator which is integrated into the casing.

In a rotating electric machine system, a rotating shaft of a rotating electric machine includes a first end part and a second end part. The first end part includes a projecting distal end that projects out to the exterior of a rotating electric machine housing. A rotational parameter detector is disposed on the projecting distal end. Electric terminal portions electrically connected to the rotating electric machine are disposed at one end part of the rotating electric machine housing. When viewed from a side along an axial direction of the rotating electric machine system, the electric terminal portions and the rotational parameter detector are arranged in parallel.

A process for storing large amounts of energy underground in existing or artificial aquifers at very large scale using deep-water, high-pressure electrolysis. The process is intended for use as large scale storage for electrical power grids. When implemented at depths greater than roughly 500 m, it provides stored energy density equal to or greater than lead-acid batteries while requiring only a pressure vessel. If the geologic structure is appropriate, the vessel may already exist naturally.

Because this process does not require compression of the gas(es), when the gas(es) is expanded it become quite cold and therefore extracts heat from the atmosphere. When combined with a sustainable energy source such as wind, solar, ocean or other similar source—the entire process is endothermic. The cold gas(es) can also be used to precipitate CO.sub.2 and condense CH.sub.4 directly from the atmosphere. This means the combination of these processes removes heat and carbon from the environment at the same time they provide large scale, lower cost grid energy storage.

A gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine, the turbomachine defining a core flow therethrough during operation. A first heat exchange assembly is in fluid communication with the turbomachine for receiving a first bleed flow from the turbomachine. A second heat exchange assembly is in fluid communication with the turbomachine for receiving a second bleed flow from the turbomachine. A first flow outlet is provided for receiving the first bleed flow from the first heat exchange assembly and providing the first bleed flow to a first aircraft flow assembly. A second flow outlet is provided for receiving the second bleed flow and providing the second bleed flow from the second heat exchange assembly to a second aircraft flow assembly.

A gas turbine engine comprises a turbomachine defining a core flow therethrough during operation. A flow tap is provided in fluid communication with the turbomachine, wherein the flow tap is configured to receive a portion of the core flow therethrough as a bleed flow. A bleed assembly includes a machine load, a bleed flow machine, and a bleed regulator. The bleed flow machine is disposed in fluid communication with the turbomachine through the flow tap, and is configured to drive the machine load. The bleed regulator is configured to regulate a bleed output provided to the bleed flow machine by controlling a capture rate of the bleed flow by the bleed flow machine.

A gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine defining a core flow therethrough during operation. A first flow tap is configured to receive a first bleed flow from upstream of the combustion section. A second flow tap is configured to receive a second bleed flow from downstream of the combustion section. A first flow outlet is provided in fluid communication with the first flow tap and a second flow outlet is provided in fluid communication with the second flow tap. The first flow outlet and the second flow outlet are configured to direct the first bleed flow and the second bleed flow to at least one aircraft flow assembly.
