Abstract:
An electrical raft (200) is provided that has electrical conductors (252) embedded in a rigid material (220). The electrical raft (200) may have other embedded components, such as embedded fluid pipes (210). The electrical raft (200) is provided with a raft map (400) that indicates the location and/or path of components embedded in the electrical raft (200). The raft map (400) can be used to identify the positions of the embedded components, and may also be provided with active elements, such as LEDs, which may be used to indicate an operating state of the systems/components embedded in the electrical raft (200). The raft map (400) may be useful in assembly, repair and fault diagnosis, for example.
Abstract:
An electrical wiring assembly for a gas turbine engine is provided. The wiring assembly (600, 200) comprises a rigid electrical assembly formed of a rigid material that includes an electrical system comprising electrical conductors (252) embedded in the rigid material (220). The wiring assembly further comprises an engine component that is mounted to the electrical assembly . The electrical assembly includes one or more integral cooling passages (210, 285) which guide a coolant fluid through the assembly to cool the engine component
Abstract:
An electrical raft (200) is provided that has electrical conductors (252) embedded in a rigid material (220). The electrical raft is provided with an electrical connector (700). The electrical connector (700) is mounted in the electrical raft (200) at a mounting angle (730). The mounting angle is set such that the electrical conductors (252) can be connected to the electrical connector without having to turn through an angle or a radius of curvature that would subject them to excessive bending stress. Similarly, the mounting angle means that any conductors (766) that may be connected to the electrical connector (700) do not have to turn through an angle or a radius of curvature that would subject them to excessive bending stress. Furthermore, mounting the electrical connector (700) at the mounting angle (730) may allow the assembled electrical raft (200) to be more compact.

Abstract:
An electrical assembly 600 comprising electrical raft 200 having electrical conductors 252 embedded in a rigid material is provided. The electrical assembly has an electrically conductive screen layer 260. The electrically conductive screen layer 260 provides electromagnetic protection to the electrical conductors 252. The electrically conductive screen layer is electrically connected to a mounting fixture 700, which in turn may be electrically connected to an apparatus on which the electrical assembly 600 may be mounted. The electrical raft 200 is used to transport electrical signals (which may be, for example power and/or control signals), for example around a gas turbine engine.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un ensemble d'échange thermique pour fluide comportant deux tubes (110, 210) dont un tube extérieur (110) qui entoure un tube intérieur (210), formant entre eux un espace de circulation de fluide, des moyens de raccordement électrique (135, 220) entre ces deux tubes de sorte qu'un raccordement de l'ensemble à une source électrique génère un réchauffement des deux tubes (110, 210) par effet joule, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de raccordement électrique entre les deux tubes comprennent une paroi conique (220) et une bague (135) montées chacune solidaire d'un tube différent parmi les tubes intérieur (210) et extérieur (110), la bague (135) étant en appui autour de la paroi conique (220) de sorte qu'une dilatation différentielle donnée des deux tubes (110, 210) génère un accroissement de la mise en appui de la paroi conique (220) dans la bague (135).
