A turbomachine blade formed of a hollow airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge opposed to each other and connected by an intrados wall and an extrados wall each extending along a radial axis of the blade, between a blade root and a blade tip, and including a cooling circuit supplied with air and delivering air jets ensuring through multiple perforations of the cooling circuit an impingement cooling of the inner surface of the airfoil, the cooling circuit includes superimposed cooling channels over the height of the blade, each integrated into the inner surface of the airfoil while matching its contour, the multiple perforations being drilled in the cooling channels terminating in a purge cavity of the airfoil are able to ensure a purge of the air having impinged the inner surface of the airfoil after its passage through the perforations.

An assembly for a turbomachine including an annular channel designed to form a flow duct for a flow of gas between two turbine stages of the turbomachine. The channel is bounded by a radially inner annular wall and a radially outer annular wall. The walls are connected by hollow arms that extend radially, a support having a radially outer annular part that is located radially outside the outer annular wall of the annular channel, and a radially inner annular part that is located radially inside the inner annular wall of the annular channel. The outer and inner parts of the support are connected by connecting parts that extend radially and pass through one of the hollow arms of the annular channel. The connecting parts may be connected by a connecting partition having a frangible part that ruptures when the mechanical stresses in the connecting partition are above a threshold.
