The fan assembly comprises a plurality of fan blades defining a fan diameter (D), and the heat exchanger module comprises a plurality of heat exchanger elements. The heat exchanger module is in fluid communication with the fan assembly by an inlet duct, with the heat exchanger module having an axial length along a central axis between an upstream-most face of the heat exchanger elements and a downstream-most face of the heat exchanger elements. The axial length is in the range of 0.1*D to 5.0*D.

摘要: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a hydrogen fuel system, a water recovery system and a water pressure and quantity monitoring system. The water recovery system uses a condenser to extract water from an exhaust gas flow. The water pressure and quantity monitoring system measures water pressures and quantities at various locations in the water recovery system to assess the health and efficiency of the water recovery/supply system and the propulsion system.

摘要: A turbine engine heat exchanger has an array of heat exchanger plates mounted to an inner case wall for providing heat transfer from a bleed flowpath to a bypass flowpath. Each plate has: first and second faces along the bypass flowpath; a proximal edge mounted to the inner case wall; an inlet along the proximal edge; an outlet along the proximal edge; and a branch segment of the bleed flowpath passing from the inlet to the outlet.

摘要: A system includes an air manifold, a fuel manifold, and a plurality of fuel injectors. At least one of the fuel injectors includes a heat exchanger portion for supplying compressed, cooled air form the heat exchanger portion to the air manifold. An air valve is operatively connected to an outlet of the air manifold for controlling release of air from the air manifold. A controller is operatively connected to the air valve, wherein the controller includes machine readable instructions configured to control the air valve to regulate flow of air through the air valve based on fuel temperatures in the fuel channel. The machine readable instructions can be configured to cause the controller to flow air through the air valve in a heat exchange mode if a fuel temperature in the fuel injectors is below a predetermined fuel temperature.

摘要: A turbofan engine includes a fan, a core turbine engine having one or more turbines and an exhaust section, and a hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger in flow communication with the exhaust section and hydrogen flowing along a hydrogen supply line. The hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger defines a load capacity factor determined by raising a product to a one-quarter power, the product being determined by multiplying a heat transfer surface area density associated with the hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger by a process conductance parameter that relates characteristics of hydrogen, ambient air, and exhaust gas at takeoff, as well as a fan diameter of the fan and a number of turbine stages of the turbofan engine. The load capacity factor is between 4.37 and 28.65 for the fan diameter being between 0.5 and 3.5 meters and the heat transfer surface area density being between 500 m2/m3 and 10,000 m2/m3.

摘要: An aircraft turbine engine having a primary air flow path with low-pressure and high-pressure compressors, a secondary air flow path which is located around the primary path and runs coaxially thereto, the turbine engine including vanes distributed about a main axis of the turbine engine. A pressurized air circuit draws air between the low-pressure compressor and the high-pressure compressor or in the high-pressure compressor and supplies at least one component located close to a main axis of the turbine engine. The pressurized air circuit includes a heat exchanger between the stream of pressurized air and the stream of air flowing in the secondary path, the heat exchanger being arranged in at least one of the straightening vanes, where a heat exchanger pipe is arranged, the pipe having a pressurized-air inlet and a pressurized-air outlet that are located at the same radial end of the vane.
