A method for thermal management for an aircraft includes extracting a flow of compressed fluid from a compressor section of a propulsion system. The flow of compressed fluid is passed through an anti-ice system. The flow of compressed fluid flows from the anti-ice system to a turbine. The flow of compressed fluid is expanded across the turbine. The expanded flow of compressed fluid then flows to thermal communication with a thermal load.

A compressor arrangement for an internal combustion engine, having a compressor which is arranged in a compressor housing and has a low pressure side and a high pressure side, and having a negative pressure provision unit, which has a propellant channel that is fluidically connected, on the one hand, via a propellant inlet fitting to the high pressure side of the compressor and, on the other hand, via a propellant outlet fitting to the low pressure side of the compressor and has a nozzle, and which has a negative pressure channel opening into the propellant channel fluidically between the propellant inlet fitting and the propellant outlet fitting.

A cooling system for a turbine engine for directing cooling fluids from a compressor to a turbine blade cooling fluid supply and from an ambient air source to the turbine blade cooling fluid supply to supply cooling fluids to one or more airfoils of a rotor assembly is disclosed. The cooling system may include a compressor bleed conduit extending from a compressor to the turbine blade cooling fluid supply that provides cooling fluid to at least one turbine blade. The compressor bleed conduit may include an upstream section and a downstream section whereby the upstream section exhausts compressed bleed air through an outlet into the downstream section through which ambient air passes. The outlet of the upstream section may be generally aligned with a flow of ambient air flowing in the downstream section. As such, the compressed air increases the flow of ambient air to the turbine blade cooling fluid supply.

A gas turbine engine has a low pressure turbine driving a fan rotor through a gear reduction gearbox. The low pressure turbine has an input shaft driving a sun gear. The sun gear drives intermediate gears. There is an output shaft driven by one of a carrier and a ring gear in the gear reduction to in turn drive a fan drive shaft to drive the fan. A bearing compartment housing encloses the gear reduction gearbox. A fan shaft bearing supports the fan drive shaft. An oil supply system delivers oil to at least one of the sun gear, the intermediate gears and the ring gear. A scavenge system returns oil from the bearing compartment housing to a sump. An ejector pump communicates with a source of pressurized fluid to assist in driving oil from within the bearing compartment housing into a scavenge tube.

The invention relates to a device (30) for cooling heat-sensitive control members (29) of a pneumatic or electropneumatic valve (20), comprising a containment casing (31) designed to contain said control members (29): a fresh air inlet (32) in said containment casing (31); an air outlet (33) of said containment casing, provided with a ventilation air tube (34) that comprises: an air acceleration column (35) which puts into fluidic communication said containment casing (31) and the air outlet (33); a primary supply (37) for supplying the acceleration column (35) with primary air; a secondary supply (38) for supplying the acceleration column (35) with secondary air, provided in said containment casing (31) such that the primary air can drive and accelerate the secondary air in the direction of the air outlet so as to produce forced air ventilation in said containment casing (31) between the air inlet (32) and the air outlet (33).
