Abstract:
The engine unit comprises: a gas turbine engine (3); a main tank (17) of a first fuel; a main feed pipe (19) of the fuel from said main tank to a combustion chamber (5) of the turbine (7); a fuel feed control system (23). To facilitate the start-up phases, and if necessary the shut-down phases, an auxiliary tank (33) with a second fuel is provided, with an auxiliary feed pipe (31) from the auxiliary tank to the combustion chamber of the turbine. The control system is programmed to feed the second fuel to said turbine at least during the start-up transients of the turbine engine.
Abstract:
The DC/DC converter comprises: an electronic chopper (Q 5 ) which is periodically switched to control the voltage generated by the converter on a load (R L ) and a detection circuit (11) detecting the current output from the converter and generating an alarm signal when the output current exceeds a threshold value. The detection circuit is connected to the terminals of the electronic chopper, detects the voltage drop across the electronic chopper during the conduction phases of the chopper and generates an essentially direct signal, whose value is a function of said voltage drop.
Abstract:
Described herein is an active device for power factor correction, comprising a connection (3, 5) to a supply network, a rectifier bridge (1), at least one bulk capacitor (11), a connection (23, 25) to a load circuit (Z), and a corrector circuit (15) for correcting the power factor. Through the corrector circuit there flows a fraction of the power absorbed from the supply network.

a connection for a battery (5), an inverter (9) for supplying from said battery (5), in emergency conditions, a lamp (L) connectable to said unit; a control circuit (11) for the current supplied by the battery to the inverter (9), which maintains said current at a predetermined value (I max ) independently of the characteristics of the lamp (L) connected to said inverter.
Abstract:
The electronic component comprises an electric winding, consisting of a plurality of conductive tracks (24) provided on a laminar support (22; 26) and of a plurality of half-turns (8), the ends of which are connected electrically to said conductive tracks (24) in order to form the winding. A ferro-magnetic core (15) is optionally disposed inside the winding.
a transformer (T1) with a primary winding (13), to whose ends is applied a voltage which is cyclically variable over time, and a secondary winding (15); a first and a second rectifying diode (D5, D6), having corresponding first and second electrodes, the first electrode of each of said diodes being connected to a first output terminal (17) of the rectifier; a first and a second reactive component (L1, L2) interposed between the corresponding second electrode of each of said diodes and a second output terminal (19) of the rectifier, said second electrodes of the two diodes being additionally connected to the two ends of the secondary winding (15).
A first and a second delay element (S1, S2), which maintain a flow of current through the secondary winding (15) during a freewheeling passive phase of the rectifier, are connected in series with each of the diodes (D5, D6) respectively.
