    摘要: Fan (16), in particular for an aircraft cooling unit, having a wheel (128) comprising a hub (138) and an annular array of blades (140), a shaft assembly (136) for driving the wheel about an axis (A), and fusible means for connecting the hub of the wheel to the shaft assembly, said fusible connecting means comprising a first mounting sleeve through which the shaft assembly extends and which is surrounded by the hub, and fusible safety elements (174) which extend parallel to the axis (A) and are configured to break and to disengage the wheel from the shaft assembly when said wheel rotates and a driving torque of the wheel transmitted by the shaft assembly exceeds a certain threshold, characterised in that the connecting means comprise a second wearing sleeve (143) which is inserted between the first sleeve and the hub and through which the fusible elements extend, the second sleeve being made of a material which is different from that of the first sleeve and subject to wear by friction and/or by heating if the shaft assembly continues to rotate following the aforementioned disengagement.

    摘要: A power assembly that has at least two power modules that each have at least one component to be cooled, for example, an electronic chip mounted on a base from which cooling elements extend. Each power module also has a hollow body with a channel for flow of a coolant fluid Each power module is mounted on each respective body so that the cooling elements extend at least partially into said channel through an opening of the body. At least one deflector is mounted in the channel between the cooling elements of the two modules so as to force the coolant fluid to flow in the zone of the channel comprising the cooling elements.
