A turbomachine includes a casing, a rotor, and a plurality of cooled ring segments installed between the casing and the rotor, each ring segment containing a main cooling cavity and being attached to the casing by a fastening device. The fastening device can include a clamping screw positioned more or less radially and pinning the ring segment against the casing. The clamping screw is crossed through by a cooling airway that communicates with the main cooling cavity of the ring segment.

A ventilation device for a high pressure turbine rotor in a turbomachine, the turbine comprising upstream and downstream turbine disks fitted with blades, the device comprising a cooling circuit being supplied by a cooling airflow D taken from the back of the combustion chamber. The circuit is such that the airflow passes through orifices formed in an upstream flange of the upstream disk, such that this airflow circulates in the axial direction towards the downstream side between an inner reaming of the upstream disk and a downstream flange of the downstream disk, the device also comprising a labyrinth inserted between the two disks, such that the airflow is divided into a first flow F1 and a second flow circulating on each side of labyrinth towards the blades.

The invention relates to a device for ventilating a high pressure turbine rotor which comprises a turbine disk and an upstream end plate. A first circuit for cooling blades delivers a first air flow via main injectors and holes formed in the end plate. A second cooling circuit delivers a second air flow through a discharge baffle situated downstream from the compressor, a fraction of this second flow serving to cool the upstream top face of the end plate through a second baffle situated beneath the main injectors. A branch connection is provided between the first circuit and the enclosure situated downstream from the second baffle and it delivers a third flow which is set into pre-rotation by additional injector means formed in the form of inclined bores.

The invention provides a turbomachine including a device for supplying pressurized gas, the gas being bled from the compressor of the turbomachine via a bleed orifice and cooled in a cooling cavity disposed within the compressor rotor upstream of the bleed orifice. This arrangement has the effect of cooling the bled gas by heat transfer through the outer wall of the compressor rotor to the gas stream which is being compressed by the compressor upstream of the bleed orifice, and has the result of reducing the drop in the performance of the compressor as a result of the gas being bled off.

A turbine vane-system cooling system uses three internal cooling cavities 1, 12, 13) separated by two radial walls (9, 10). The upstream cavity (11) uses a helical ramp (30) and is fed through an intake (22) at the vane root (3). The middle cavity (12) also is fed at the vane root (3) and includes a compartmented, multi-perforated lining (40). The air is exhausted from each compartment through impact orifices and enters the succeeding compartment through slots (42) and then is finally exhausted through a vane-head orifice (21). The vane side walls opposite the downstream cavity (13) have double skins with bridging elements. The air passes through these double skins but circulates centrifugally in the upstream portion (15) of the downstream cavity (13) and enters this cavity's downstream portion (16) to be exhausted through slots (19) in the trailing edge (6). A third wall (14) divides the downstream cavity (13) into two parts (15, 16).

A gas mixer (8) which placed in a flow of gases upstream of a ring (3) that is to be heated or cooled, the gas mixer (8) including a succession of mbers (12, 14, 15) having communication or outlet orifices (16, 17, 18) in large numbers in order to render uniform a rate and temperature of the gas flow. The gas mixer (8) is applicable to gas turbine engines.

Layout for adjusting the diameter of a turbine engine ring (5) positioned facing mobile rotor blades (4) and connected to a case element (7). The latter is provided with a cavity (16) communicating with chambers (21, 23) around a gas flow stream (31). A limited air current traverses the cavity (16) and is sufficiently reduced to ensure the development of a heat convection, which renders uniform the temperature of the case element (7) and the ring (5) and consequently the diameter of the latter.

A labyrinth disk includes a main stiffener placed in the middle of the rim immediately below labyrinth elements. Attachment elements are preferably in the form of a bayonet attachment system using teeth fixed on the labyrinth disk crown and teeth fixed on the rotor. Attachment by bolting may optionally be used. The disk may be utilized with turbojets, on the cooling circuit, on the upstream side of the high pressure turbine.

A cooled turbine guide vane comprises a hollow aerodynamic portion between inner and outer platforms. The interior of the aerodynamic portion is partitioned into a leading edge duct and a main cavity in which a perforated tubular member is disposed, being spaced from the intrados and extrados side walls of the vane by longitudinal ribs. The tubular member is divided by a partition into two cavities on the intrados and extrados sides of the partition. A first cooling circuit is constituted by the leading edge duct and the intrados cavity of the tubular member, and a second cooling circuit is constituted by the extrados cavity and a cooling system for the inner platform, both circuits being supplied with air by the same source from the outer platform. Cooling air from each circuit passes through the perforations of the tubular member to impinge on the inside face of the respective side wall of the vane and is then guided towards the trailing edge where it escapes through slits in the trailing edge.

Cooled turbine guide vane

A nozzle of a turbine stator of a turbine engine, wherein at least two of the vanes are fixed to each inner platform and to opposite each outer platform, and a maintaining unit is configured to maintain each sector with respect to a case of the turbine stator and to connect sectors together and has a rotational maintaining element, a radial maintaining element and an axial maintaining element. The radial maintaining element is flexible so as to permit a radial expansion of each sector and is constituted by an elastic joint fixed to the case so as to surround the sectors.
