A cooling device for a stationary ring surrounding a gas-turbine hot-gas flow path, said ring being made up of a plurality of ring segments that are fastened by upstream and downstream fastener systems onto a plurality of spacer segments forming a support spacer surrounding said ring so as to co-operate therewith to define at least one annular impact cavity into which at least one air supply orifice opens out, each ring segment having walls that are pierced with a plurality of air exhaust holes opening out both into the impact cavity, and into the hot-gas flow path, the device further comprising means for channeling the air coming from leakage through the seals of the fastener systems, and for directing it towards at least one of the axial ends of the ring segments so as to cool said end(s).

A device for axially holding a ring spacer sector of a high-pressure turbine of a turbomachine, said spacer sector comprising an upstream radial wall provided with an outer upstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding upstream groove of a casing of the turbine, and with an inner upstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding upstream groove of a ring sector, said device comprising a piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal that constitutes a heat shield disposed upstream from the upstream radial wall of the spacer sector against an inner surface of the casing, the piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal bearing axially against the upstream radial wall of the spacer sector and being secured to the casing so as to hold the spacer sector axially.

A clearance control device for controlling clearance between rotary blade tips and a stationary bushing of a gas turbine having a casing that is provided with at least two annular ridges, the clearance control device including a circular tuning unit that includes air circulation means for circulating air, said means being made up of at least three ducts; air supply means for supplying air to the air flow ducts; and air discharge means for discharging air on the ridges in order to modify the temperature, the air discharge means for each duct being made up of at least one top row having a number N of perforations disposed facing one of the side faces of the ridges and of at least one bottom row having a number 2N of perforations disposed facing a connection radius that connects the ridges to the casing.
