A chiller system may include a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant by rotation; a condenser configured to condense the refrigerant compressed by the compressor; an expander configured to expand the condensed refrigerant; an evaporator configured to evaporate the expanded refrigerant; a sensor unit including a plurality of temperature sensors, a speed sensor that senses a rotational speed of the compressor, and a current sensor that senses a current of the compressor; and a controller configured to determine whether to enter into a surge detection logic based on a volatility of data sensed by the sensor unit, and configured to perform surge detection.

A gas compressor comprising a rotating drum and a return assembly. The drum includes a compression channel assembly with compression channels between a common zone and a distal area. The compression channels may be formed by a plurality of V-shaped blocks. The return assembly draws liquid from an annular lake formed in the drum to a fluid outlet. A gas inlet in the return assembly mixes incoming gas with the liquid. An optional eductor connected to the gas inlet draws gas into the gas inlet. Fluid entering the common pressure zone is forced into the compression channels that compress the gas. Pressurized gas is separated from liquid in the fluid prior to leaving the compression channel. An inducer may be positioned between the fluid outlet of the return assembly and the opening of the centralized common pressure zone.

A compressor arrangement for an internal combustion engine, including a compressor which is located in a compressor housing and has a low pressure side and a high pressure side, and includes a vacuum supply device which has: a propellant channel which has a nozzle and is fluidically connected on one side via a propellant inlet connection to the high pressure side of the compressor and on the other side via a propellant outlet connection to the low pressure side of the compressor; and a vacuum channel opening into the propellant channel fluidically between the propellant inlet connection and the propellant outlet connection.

The invention relates to a device (9) for cooling a turbine casing (7) for a turbomachine, such as for example an aircraft turbojet engine, extending around an axis (X) and comprising air-distribution means configured to take in air and convey it to the casing, characterized in that the air-distribution means comprising at least a first ramp (20a, 20b) and a second ramp (20a, 20b) extending circumferentially about the axis (X) respectively on a first circumferential portion and on a second circumferential portion which are different from each other, each ramp (20a, 20b) comprising air ejection orifices intended to be directed towards the casing in order to cool it, characterized in that it comprises adjustment means (23) capable of adjusting the flow rate of air ejected at the level of the first ramp (20a, 20b) with respect to the flow rate of air ejected at the level of the second ramp (20a, 20b).

A hydraulic and pneumatic control circuit for a turbojet, a main hydraulic line having an oil/fuel heat exchanger with a function of transferring heat from the oil flowing in an oil circuit of the turbojet to the fuel flowing in the main hydraulic line, the circuit having a first hydraulic line for feeding fuel to a combustion chamber of the turbojet, a second hydraulic line for feeding fuel to one or more actuators for controlling variable geometry equipment, each actuator being fed with fuel via an electrohydraulic servovalve, a pneumatic line for feeding air to a pneumatic control member for bleed valves of a compressor and a blade tip clearance control valve of a turbine of the turbojet, and a fuel/air heat exchanger positioned on the second hydraulic line upstream from the hydraulic servovalve and on the pneumatic line upstream from the pneumatic control member.

A gas turbine engine coupled to an aircraft includes an engine core arranged axially along an axis, a bypass duct arranged circumferentially around the engine core to define a bypass channel, and a heat exchanger system. The bypass channel is arranged to conduct bypass air around the engine core to provide thrust for the gas turbine engine. The heat exchanger system is configured to provide cooling for the engine core.

The invention provides various designs of an apparatus and method for attemperating a gas stream temperature. The apparatus of the present invention provides a body through which a gas stream passes that permits, as desired, a second gas, such as gas outside of the gas duct or such as ambient air, to be added to the main gas stream to attemperate the temperature of the main gas stream. The body or device may be referred to as a variable eductor having a plurality of openings through which a second gas may pass into the main gas stream. The openings may be opened or closed, and the variable eductor provides control over which openings and the degree to which each opening is opened. In some designs the variable eductor is inserted between two portions of a gas duct. The variable eductor has widespread application, such as downstream of a gas turbine to attemperate the exhaust gas temperature during startup.

An oil supply device of an aircraft gas turbine includes: a lubrication extraction pipe including a first end and a second end, the first end communicating with a compressor of the gas turbine, an ejection port being provided at the second end and directed to a lubricated member; an oil tank configured to store oil; an oil pipe including a first end and a second end, the first end communicating with the oil tank, the second end communicating with the lubrication extraction pipe; and an electric pump interposed on a portion of the oil pipe and configured to suck the oil from the oil tank and supply the oil to an inside of the lubrication extraction pipe.

A fuel system for a gas turbine engine includes a main fuel pump generating a main fuel flow into a main fuel passage and a secondary pump generating a secondary fuel flow into a secondary flow passage. A first control valve is disposed in a passage between the main fuel passage and the secondary flow passage. The first control valve selectively directs an excess portion of the main fuel flow to the secondary flow passage to provide at least a portion of the secondary fuel flow.

The gas turbine engine can have a bearing cavity, an ejector having an air/oil path fluidly connected to the bearing cavity, and a nozzle fluidly coupled with the air/oil path, the nozzle connected to a compressed air source.
