Abstract
A centrifugal degasser of an air-oil mixture of a turbine engine includes a hollow shaft extending along an X axis and a pinion for rotating the hollow shaft, and an annular chamber for centrifugal separation of the mixture. The chamber is arranged around the hollow shaft and forms a fluid passage area, an inlet of which is oriented axially for feeding the chamber with the mixture, and a first outlet of which is oriented radially inwards for the outlet of the de-oiled air separated from said mixture. The chamber also includes at least one second oil outlet oriented radially outwards and configured for discharging the oil separated from said mixture to the outside of the degasser. The chamber and the pinion form a single piece.
