A hydraulic control circuit of a double-acting orientation cylinder to orient fan vanes of a turbojet engine, including an oil tank, a variable-displacement axial piston pump including a swash plate controlled by a double-acting control and compensation cylinder including a control chamber and a compensation chamber, the pump being supplied by the reservoir and having the outlet thereof configured to be able to be connected, via a supply pipe, to a second chamber of the orientation cylinder, a first chamber of the orientation cylinder being connected to the tank, the chambers of the control and compensation cylinder both being pressurised with a pressure corresponding to the outlet pressure of the pump, and wherein the control and compensation chambers are arranged to increase the tilt of the plate in order to increase the displacement of the pump when the pressurisation pressure of these chambers increases.

Hydraulic control circuit for controlling fan blade pitch

A turbine engine includes an oil supply system that has a main oil tank, a supply pump with an inlet and an outlet connected to a control system, an auxiliary oil tank, and a valve having a first inlet connected to the main tank, a second inlet connected to the auxiliary tank and an outlet connected to the inlet of the supply pump. The valve also has a member configured to move within the body and between a first position, in which the first inlet of the valve is in fluid communication with the outlet of the valve, and a second position, in which the second inlet of the valve is in fluid communication with the outlet of the valve.

Turbine engine comprising an oil supply system

A heat exchange system for a turbine engine is provided. The heat exchange system includes a cavity having an air intake, a heat exchanger arranged in the cavity and having a first circuit in which a first fluid can circulate, a movable flap mounted at the air intake and moving between two positions permitting or preventing, respectively, the circulation of air flow in the cavity, and a control device having a movable member configured to drive the movement of the movable flap. The control device can be arranged in the heat exchanger supply circuit and configured so as to permit or prevent the circulation of the first fluid to the heat exchanger and simultaneously move the movable flap between at least one of the two positions.
