Multi-function oil tank
An oil distribution system uses an oil storage container to contain an air/oil separation unit, a heat exchanger, and an oil reservoir. The functions of oil storage, air/oil separation, and cooling are integrated in the container. Hot aerated oil enters the container at an air/oil separation unit. The air/oil separator deposits hot de-aerated oil into the oil reservoir. The oil reservoir transfers hot de-aerated oil to conduits in a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger uses fuel to cool the oil and warm the fuel. Cooled de-aerated oil is provided to a mechanical device for lubrication and warmed fuel is provided to power an engine. The container may alternatively receive hot aerated oil into the conduits in the heat exchanger. Cooled aerated oil is delivered to the air/oil separation unit to deposit cooled de-aerated oil into the reservoir. Cooled de-aerated oil is pumped to a mechanical device to provide lubrication.
Engine assembly for an aircraft having an air-oil exchanger system support with optimized attachment
An engine assembly for an aircraft including a bypass turbomachine as well as a turbomachine attachment pylon including an air-oil exchanger system arranged in an inter-ducts compartment between the flow ducts, the compartment being delimited radially on the outside by an inter-ducts cowling, the exchanger system being supplied with air from a secondary flow duct of the turbomachine delimited radially on the inside by the inter-ducts cowling, and the exchanger system being supported by a support arranged in the inter-ducts compartment, this support being mechanically connected to the attachment pylon by connecting means passing through the inter-ducts cowling.
LUBRICANT RESERVOIR, COMPRESSOR SYSTEM AND HEAT PUMP
A lubricant reservoir for a compressor, which can be part of a system of a heat pump, in particular, a high-temperature heat pump, having a holding chamber for lubricants with at least one holding-chamber cladding element at least partially outwardly limiting the holding chamber, and a temperature controller is integrated into the holding-chamber cladding element and/or arranged on it, wherein a heating and/or cooling medium can flow through the temperature controller, which may achieve an improved life cycle assessment in such a lubricant reservoir compared to the known systems, reduce the production or assembly effort, and enable lubricant cooling and lubricant heating.

FILTER WITH METAL DEBRIS SENSOR ASSEMBLY
A filter for filtering particulates from a fluid stream includes a filter element with a filter medium and a metallic debris sensor assembly. The metallic debris sensor assembly includes a core and a coil of electrically-conductive wire. The core has a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion interposed between the first and second ends. The first end is disposed in spaced relationship with the second end such that a measurement area is disposed therebetween. The coil of electrically-conductive wire is wound around the intermediate portion of the core. The core is adapted to generate a magnetic field in the measurement area when an electrical current is passed through the coil. At least a portion of the filter medium of the filter element is disposed within the measurement area. The filter can be incorporated into a wear detection system and used in methods of monitoring.
Scavenge filter system for a gas turbine engine
A scavenge filter system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first scavenge pump stage positioned in a first flow path downstream of a first bearing compartment of a spool and a second scavenge pump stage positioned in a second flow path downstream of a second bearing compartment. The second bearing compartment houses a geared architecture mechanically coupled to the spool. A first scavenge filter fluidly couples the first scavenge pump stage to at least one oil reservoir. A second scavenge filter fluidly couples the second scavenge pump stage to the at least one oil reservoir. The first and second scavenge filters are separate and distinct. A method of filtering debris is also disclosed.
