Abstract
According to the invention, a scaled articulation device (27) is mounted on at least one (14) of the branches (14; 18, 9) of said hot-air circulation circuit in the form of a bracket so as to provide said bracket with capabilities of deforming about said articulation device (27).
Claims12
1-11. (canceled)
A system for deicing the hollow leading edge (11) of an air inlet cowl (8) for a turbine engine (1), in particular for an aircraft, said deicing system comprising:
- an injector (12) designed to inject pressurized hot air inside said hollow leading edge (11);
- means (13) for bleeding off pressurized hot air that are mounted on the hot-stream generator (2) of said turbine engine (1);
- a hot-air circulation circuit (9, 14, 18) for conveying said pressurized hot air from said bleed means (13) to said injector (12), said hot-air circulation circuit comprising two branches forming a right-angled structure, namely:
- a transverse branch (14) whose end is rigidly connected to said bleed means (13), and
- a longitudinal branch (9, 18) which is arranged laterally with respect to said turbine engine (1) and whose end is connected to said injector (12);
- and
- fastening means (23) arranged in the region of said injector (12) and intended to fasten said longitudinal branch (9, 18) to said air inlet cowl (8),
- wherein a sealed articulation device (27) is mounted on at least one of said branches of said hot-air circulation circuit to provide said right-angled structure with capabilities of deforming about said articulation device.
