20220213806 · 2022-07-07 ·

The invention relates to a system (1) for lubricating an aeronautical engine (5) and a reduction gearbox (4) associated with the engine (5), the system (1) comprising an oil reservoir (2) feeding at least one first supply pump (3) supplying a first circuit (6) of the gearbox (4) opening into at least one chamber (4a) of the gearbox (4) and, in parallel, a second circuit (7) of the engine (5) opening into chambers (5a) of the engine (5). The second circuit (7) comprises a jet pump (9) of variable cross section supplied at least by the first supply pump (3), bypassing the first circuit (6), a second driven supply pump (10) being integrated into the second circuit (7) downstream of the jet pump (9), a portion of a flow (Qp) in the first circuit (6) being drawn off by the jet pump (9) to supply the second circuit (7).

JET TUBE FOR A TURBOMACHINE

A jet tube for a turbomachine having a tubular main part with an axis and delimiting an internal volume opening out at a first end forming an inlet and at a second end forming an outlet. The jet tube also having a nozzle with a first part radially passing through a wall of the main part. The first part has a first area located radially outside the wall and the internal volume, and a second area located radially inside the wall and the internal volume. The nozzle has a second portion extending axially from the second area of the first portion of the nozzle and towards the outlet. The nozzle has a channel passing through the first and second portions of the nozzle and opening into the internal volume at the free end of the second portion of the nozzle.

Jet pump for turbomachine lubrication chamber depressurization circuit

A jet pump (10) comprising a tubular body (12), a first injection duct (14) which opens into the body (12) via a first outlet nozzle (18), a second injection duct (16) which opens into the body (12) via a second outlet nozzle (20) which surrounds the first outlet nozzle (18), the downstream end (20a) of the second outlet nozzle (20) being situated axially level with the downstream end (18a) of the first outlet nozzle (18), wherein the upstream end (18b) of the first nozzle (18) comprises an axial orifice (30) centered on the main axis of the body (12), and in that the jet pump (10) is configured for either plugging or not plugging the axial orifice (30) of the first outlet nozzle (18).

Internal charge air feed from rocker cover integrated intake runners

A high pressure charge air feed arrangement for an internal combustion engine is provided. The arrangement includes an intake having a high pressure output, a rocker cover having an intake runner defining a high pressure charge flow path, and a gas and oil separator having a flow accelerator with input and output sides. The high pressure output of the intake is attached to one end of the path and the accelerator is attached to the other end. The path is connected between the input and output sides of the accelerator. The separator includes upper and lower plenums divided by a wall having an oil and gas diffuser. The input side is connected to the lower plenum and the output side is connected to a crankcase oil return line. The flow accelerator may be any type of fluid accelerator, including, but not limited to, a venturi pump and a jet pump.
