- said heat conducting element being movable between an active position and an inactive position, such that the heat exchange capacity with the first fluid is lower in the inactive position than in the active position, characterized in that said element is prestressed in the active position and the transition from the active position to the inactive position is obtained by buckling of the membrane.
- the solution of the invention therefore consists in modifying the exposure of the heat conducting element with respect to the first fluid so as to reduce the resistance to flow that it generates.
- the term "buckling of the membrane” means that the membrane is subjected to a force, preferably of compression, which causes a bending and deformation of the membrane in general in a direction perpendicular to the direction of application. force (transition from a state of compression to a state of bending).
- Said element is preferably prestressed in compression, along an axis substantially parallel to an axis about which the bending of the membrane takes place during its buckling.
- the heat conducting element is in the form of a blade.
- the blade is secured to the membrane by a connecting edge and, in the active position, spaced apart from the membrane so as to be in contact with the first fluid by its two faces.
- the blade in the inactive position is disposed by a face near the membrane.
- the blade is preferably in contact with the first fluid only by a face which reduces the heat exchange with the fluid.
- the blade has in active position a curved shape deviating from the membrane from the connecting edge.
- heat exchange is controlled simply and efficiently.
- the connecting edge is rectilinear and the blade is curved around the connecting edge in the active position.
- the transition from the active position to the inactive position is obtained by deformation of the membrane along the connecting edge of the blade to the membrane.
- the deformation of the blade support membrane induces a blade deformation between two states: a first state where the blade is curved in a direction parallel to the line formed by the connecting edge and a second state where the blade is curved perpendicular to the connecting edge.
- the blade marries the membrane when the latter is in the form of a cylinder portion.
- the deformation of the membrane is obtained by applying a force parallel to the plane of the membrane.
- This force is advantageously a compressive force.
- This deformation is preferably obtained by the force of a piston member.
- the invention also relates to the application of the heat exchanger to the cooling of a fluid in a turbine engine, such as a turbojet engine.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a turbofan engine to which the heat exchanger of the invention can be integrated;
- - Figure 2 shows the heat exchanger according to the invention in a state where the heat conducting elements are erected in the active position;
- FIG. 3 shows the heat exchanger of Figure 2 in a state where the heat conducting elements are folded in the inactive position
- FIG. 4 shows the heat exchanger of the invention seen from below the side of the fluid collectors
- FIG. 5 is a detail view of the exchanger of Figure 2 with a conductive element in the active position, the interior is visible by transparency;
- FIG. 6 is a view of the exchanger of FIG. 3 with a heat conducting element in the inactive position; the interior is visible by transparency.
- a turbojet engine comprises an upstream air intake duct through which air is drawn into the engine and a downstream nozzle through which the hot gases produced by the combustion of a fuel are ejected for provide some of the thrust, at least. Between the inlet sleeve and the gas ejection nozzle, the sucked air is compressed by compression means, heated and expanded in turbines which drive the compression means.
- the multi-flow turbojets additionally comprise at least one blower rotor displacing a large mass of air, forming the secondary flow and providing the bulk of the thrust, the primary flow being the part of the intake air flow which is heated then relaxed in the turbine, before being ejected through the primary flow nozzle.
- the first flow 1 is dual-flow and double body with successively in the direction of the path of the air in the engine, an air inlet 1 upstream, a blower 2 delivering air in an annular secondary flow channel 3 and to the flow compressors 4 primary in the center, the combustion chamber 5, and the turbine stages 6.
- the secondary flow is ejected separately through a secondary flow nozzle.
- the rotors are supported by the exhaust casing 7.
- the primary flow is ejected through the primary flow nozzle 8 downstream of the exhaust casing.
- the flow is annular and the vein of the primary flow is delimited internally by the exhaust cone 9.
- the cone 9 is a hollow part of substantially frustoconical shape, integral with the exhaust casing.
- a heat exchanger 10 in the secondary vein 3 for the purpose of cooling a fluid which may be air taken from the compressor.
- An example of exchanger capable of fulfilling this function comprises a circuit, in which circulates the fluid to be cooled. This circuit is in thermal contact with a heat exchange membrane with the cold fluid circulating in the secondary vein. Fines are generally provided on the membrane on the side of the exchange surface facing the cold flow to increase the heat exchange capacity and improve cooling. These fins extend perpendicularly to the membrane in the secondary flow and create a pressure drop therein.
- the exchanger 10 of the invention is shown in Figures 2 to 6. It comprises a box with a bottom wall 11, a plurality of partitions 13 perpendicular to the bottom wall 11 and delimiting between them and the bottom a plurality of 12 channels parallel to each other. These channels are covered with membranes 15 and communicate with a first manifold 12a at one end and a second manifold 12b at the other end of the box. The box is supplied with fluid by the first collector.
- the fluid After circulating in the channels 12, the fluid can be recovered by the second collector 12b at the other end of the box.
- the box is intended to be placed here along the secondary vein 3 of the turbojet, so that the membranes are in contact with a fluid at a different temperature for a heat exchange between the fluid flowing in the channels and the sweeping fluid the outer surface of the membranes.
- the fluid flowing outside the channels is the first fluid and the fluid flowing in the channels is the second fluid.
- the first fluid is the cold secondary flow and the second fluid is the fluid to be cooled.
- the membranes 15 To improve the heat exchange between the two fluids of the heat conducting elements 17 are mounted on the membranes 15 on the side of the first fluid; it is metal blades 171 with a large contact surface for a small footprint. These blades 171 are fixed to the membranes 15 along a connecting edge 173 by welding or brazing, for example. Their two faces of larger dimensions of the blades 171 constitute the main heat exchange surfaces with the first fluid in which they are immersed.
- the connecting edges are parallel to the direction of flow of the fluid with which the blades are in heat exchange. According to the invention, these blades 171 are movable between an active position where they are raised with respect to the membrane which supports them and an inactive position where they are folded against the membrane.
- the blades 171 By being erect they have their two sides to the first fluid for maximum heat transfer between the two fluids.
- the blades 171 In the inactive position, the blades 171 being pressed against the membrane or at least extended along it have a lower heat exchange capacity than in the active position because the exchange surface is limited to one side of the blade.
- the flow resistances are also lower than in the active position for the same reason.
- One aspect of the invention is the means for passing the blades 171 from one position to another.
- the membranes 15 covering the channels 12 are fixed on one side 151 along a partition 13, and the other on the opposite partition 13. These membranes 15 are integral with a piston element 153.
- the piston element 153 is movable inside a chamber 131 of cylinder arranged along the partition.
- the piston is movable parallel to the plane of the membrane, in a direction transverse to the channels 12.
- the movement of the piston is controlled by a control fluid supplied by a conduit 133 at the inlet of the chamber.
- the piston formed of the piston and the cylinder chamber comprises any motor member capable of exerting a compressive force on the membrane parallel to its plane.
- the actuating energy of the drive member or the jack may be pressurized air taken for example from the last stages of the compressor.
- the membrane 15 is selected from a material which is preferably metallic for its heat conduction and resilience properties.
- the membrane is arranged so that it can be deformed by the displacement of the piston between a first position where it is not subjected to a pressure of the control fluid and a second position where it is pushed back by the control fluid. introduced into the cylinder chamber. In the first position of the piston the membrane is flat as seen in Figure 2. In the second position the membrane is curved as seen in Figure 3. It took a shape of a cylinder portion.
- the heat conducting elements 17 are also made of a material which is preferably metallic for its heat conduction and resilience properties.
- Non-limiting examples of materials are aluminum or a nickel-based alloy.
- Aluminum is preferentially chosen for temperatures below 200 ° C. and nickel-based alloys such as Inconel® for higher temperatures.
- the blades 171 forming the elements 17 have a curved shape around the connecting edge of the blades 171 with the membrane. This curved shape is obtained by plastic deformation around an axis parallel to the line of the connecting edge.
- the blade is a laminar composite made of a stack of two sheets, one of the two sheets having been heated before being glued to the second. After returning to ambient temperature and after bonding, the composite blade is prestressed. This example is not limiting. A simple folded or stamped blade is suitable in that it is likely to take both positions.
- the membrane 15 covering the channels 12 is provided with a plurality of blades 171 fixed along connecting edges perpendicular to the direction of the channels.
- the membrane At rest when not subject to the control fluid, the membrane is flat and the connecting edges are straight.
- the blades 171 are then in their rest form and curved around the connecting edges 173.
- Such an exchanger can be used inside the secondary vein of a turbojet engine.
- the cold air of the vein is the first fluid.
- the fluid to be cooled is circulated inside the channels, forming the second fluid.
- the exchanger membrane is kept flat, the heat conducting elements are then in the active position.
- the control fluid is introduced into the cylinder chamber causing the displacement of the piston, the deformation of the membrane and the change of curvature of the blades; they take an inactive position.
