Method for reducing the noise level of a turbomachine fan
A method for reducing the noise level generated by a fan of a turbomachine including a plurality of vanes, said method further including, when the turbomachine is operating and under given flight conditions, the following steps measuring an operational pitch angle for each of the vanes, calculating an offset between the operational pitch angle of each of the vanes and a predetermined reference pitch angle for the given flight conditions so as to produce a controlled noise level at multiple rotation frequencies of the fan, correcting the orientation of the vanes so as to compensate their operational pitch angles depending on the offsets thus calculated.
COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY
A fan assembly includes two or more axial flow fans rotatably mounted on a support structure. The fans are of the adjustable pitch type, i.e., each fan includes a pitch adjustment mechanism that is actuatable by axially shifting a positioning rod extending outward from the hub of the fan. The assembly further includes a control member and a plurality of adjustment mechanisms coupled respectively to the positioning rods and to the control member in such a way that the position of the control member determines the axial position of the positioning rods and thereby the pitch of the blades of all the fans of the assembly. A single actuator is configured to actuate a movement of the control member.
VARIABLE PITCH FOR COORDINATED CONTROL
A system is described that includes a turbine engine including an engine fan including one or more variable-pitch blades driven by a shaft, which rotates at a rotational speed which depends on a pitch of the one or more variable-pitch blades of the engine fan. The system further includes a generator configured to produce alternating-current (AC) electricity at a particular frequency relative to the rotational speed of the shaft. The system also includes a propulsor, which includes a propulsor motor and a propulsor fan. The propulsor motor is configured to drive, based on the AC electricity produced by the generator, the propulsor fan. The system includes a controller configured to control the particular frequency of the AC electricity by at least controlling the pitch of the one or more variable-pitch blades of the engine fan and thereby the rotational speed of the generator.
PROPULSION ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A DUCT FOR FEEDING THE GAS GENERATOR IN AN INTER-DUCT CASING
Propulsion assembly comprising: an inner casing (13); an outer casing (3); an inter-duct casing (15) delimiting a primary duct (12) between the inner casing (13) and an outer wall (14), and a secondary duct (16) between the outer casing (3) and an outer wall (17); a fan capable of generating an air flow (24) circulating from downstream to upstream in the secondary duct (16); the assembly further comprising: at least one duct (27) for bleeding air from said flow (24), this bleed duct (27) comprising an inlet port (28) in the outer wall (17) and an outlet port (29) in the inner wall (14); an outer flap (30) movable between an open position and a closed position of the inlet port (28); an inner flap (31) movable between an open position and a closed position of the outlet port (29).
CEILING FAN CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING ANGLES OF FAN BLADES
