COMBINED POWER SYSTEM
In a rotary electric machine housing, a first bearing and a second bearing are provided for supporting a rotating shaft. A lubricating oil is supplied to the first bearing and the second bearing. At least one of the first bearing or the second bearing is sandwiched between the compressed air supplied from one side of the rotating shaft in an axial direction thereof and the compressed air supplied from another side of the rotating shaft in the axial direction.
VARIABLE GAP BETWEEN IMPELLER ROTOR AND STATIC STRUCTURE
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a static structure and an impeller rotor housed within the static structure. The impeller rotor includes a vane structure and a shroud. The vane structure includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a plurality of vanes arranged circumferentially about a rotational axis. The vanes include a first vane. The first vane includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion is axially between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The second portion is radially between the first sidewall and the shroud. The third portion is radially between the second sidewall and the shroud. The shroud circumscribes the vane structure. A gap is formed by and extends between the shroud and the static structure. A dimension of the gap changes as the gap extends along the shroud.
IMPELLER ROTOR CONFIGURED WITH WEAR RESISTANT SEAL LAND
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes an impeller rotor, a seal land and a lip seal. The impeller rotor is configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The impeller rotor is configured from or otherwise includes impeller rotor material. The seal land extends axially along and circumferentially about the rotational axis. The seal land is mechanically attached to and rotatable with the impeller rotor. The seal land is configured from or otherwise includes seal land material that is different than the impeller rotor material. The lip seal radially engages the seal land.
Secondary flow oil separator
An assembly for a compartment of a gas turbine engine that includes a housing, a gear, and a baffle disposed about the gear. The baffle includes an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The upstream portion includes an upstream inner wall and an upstream outer wall separated from the gear. The upstream inner wall is positioned between the upstream outer wall and the gear. An upstream flow channel is formed between the upstream inner wall and the upstream outer wall. The downstream portion of the baffle includes a downstream inner wall and a downstream outer wall separated from the gear. The downstream inner wall is positioned between the downstream outer wall and the gear. A downstream flow channel is formed between the downstream outer wall and the downstream inner wall.
Oil distribution system for an engine
There is disclosed an arrangement for separating an air-oil mixture in an oil distribution system of an engine. The arrangement comprises a distribution channel of the system, which defines a fluid flowpath suitable for receiving the air-oil mixture, and an ultrasonic transducer configured to insonate the fluid flowpath.
TURBOGENERATOR FOR AIRCRAFT, COMPRISING AN IMPROVED OIL SYSTEM
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).
Oil tank filler cap integrated into the de-aerator
An oil tank assembly for a gas turbine engine may include an oil tank having an upper compartment and a lower compartment. A baffle may separate the upper compartment of the oil tank from the lower compartment of the oil tank. A de-aerator may be included, where the de-aerator includes an oil inlet, a de-aerator outlet, and an air vent. The de-aerator may be configured to separate air from oil in an air-oil mixture such that the oil flows through the de-aerator outlet and such that the air flow through the vent. Further, the de-aerator may include a fill port for receiving oil.
Fluid diffusion device for sealed bearing compartment drainback system
A diffuser for an oil drainback system drain tube includes a flow chamber configured for attachment to an open end of a drain tube, wherein the flow chamber has a side wall and an end wall, and openings in at least the side wall.
TURBINE ARRANGEMENT INCORPORATING AN OIL RECOVERY CIRCUMFERENTIAL TROUGH
A turbine arrangement comprising a journal having a flange carrying a disc that is attached to the flange with bolts, wherein it includes a stationary circular trough surrounding the flange for collecting oil capable of passing radially between the disc and the flange carrying this disc.
LUBRICATION DEVICE FOR TURBOMACHINE REDUCTION GEAR
Lubrication device for a turbomachine reduction gear, the device comprising an annular lubricating oil collecting cup delimited by a first wall and a second wall, said cup being divided by internal walls extending between the first wall and the second wall so as to define a plurality of angular sectors forming oil collection basins, the basins being circumferentially adjacent around the axis and comprising lubricating oil outlets, characterized in that one or more of said internal walls have openings allowing oil to pass between the circumferentially adjacent basins, characterized in that said openings (58) are formed in one or more of said internal walls so as to define one or more rows of openings in said one or more internal walls.
