A device and a method of temporarily increasing power of at least a first turbine engine is disclosed. The device includes a coolant liquid tank and a first injection circuit connected to the tank and leading to at least one injection nozzle suitable for being installed upstream from at least one compressor stage of the first turbine engine. This first injection circuit includes at least a first flow valve configured to open when a pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold compared with a downstream pressure from at least one compressor stage of a second turbine engine so as to enable the coolant liquid to flow towards the injection nozzle of the first injection circuit.

Device and method for temporarily increasing power

A centrifugal compressor for a turbine engine, including a cover with an upstream end and a downstream end; a casing presenting an upstream edge and a downstream edge; and a bladed impeller mounted to rotate in the casing. The cover covers the blades of the impeller to define an outside surface of a gas-flow passage extending between the upstream and downstream edges of the casing, while being fastened to the upstream edge of the casing via its upstream end while its downstream end remains free. The cover further includes an abutment limiting axial movement of its downstream end relative to the downstream edge of the casing while the compressor is in operation.
