摘要:
The invention relates to a device for controlling an auxiliary engine (8) including a gas generator and a free turbine suitable for being connected mechanically to the rotor (12) of a helicopter in order to supply same with thrust power, characterised in that said control device includes a proportional-plus-integral controller (30) having proportional gain (Kp) and integral gain (Ki), which are functions of the speed of rotation of said gas generator, said controller (30) being configured to receive an error signal representing a speed error of said free turbine, and to generate a signal (Sc) for correcting the drive speed of said gas generator obtained by adding a signal which is proportional to said error signal according to said proportional gain (Kp), and an integrated signal (Si), resulting from adding a signal which is proportional to said error signal according to said integral gain (Ki) and a memory signal (Sm), provided by a feedback loop (31) of said integrated signal (Si), said memory signal (Sm) being dependent on a measurement that represents the speed of rotation of said free turbine.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for detecting a failure of a first turbine engine, referred to as faulty engine (4), of a twin-engine helicopter and for operating a second turbine engine, referred to as sound engine (5), each engine (4, 5) comprising protection end stops regulated by a regulating device which define a maximum power speed, characterized in that it comprises: a step (10) of detecting a fault index of said faulty engine (4); a step (11) of modifying said end stops for protecting said sound engine (5) to protection end stops corresponding to a maximum power single-engine speed, in the event of a fault index being detected; a step (12) of confirming a fault with said faulty engine (4); a step (13) of commanding an increase in the rate of supply of fuel to said sound engine (5) in the event of the fault being confirmed.
