A method for maintaining a bladed wheel of a high-pressure turbine of a turbomachine having a disc with cavities, and blades extending radially from a radially internal root mounted in a cavity of the disc, the root being supported on the disc by means of surfaces of the root and of the disc forming bearing surfaces. At least one foil is removably mounted between the root of at least one blade and the disc, at the corresponding bearing surfaces. The method includes measuring a radial clearance between the tip of at least one blade, meaning the radially external end of the blade, and a shroud of the turbomachine situated facing the bladed wheel, and if the radial clearance is greater than a determined value, removing the foil.

Method for maintaining a bladed wheel of a high-pressure turbine of a turbomachine

A method for controlling the clearance between the blade tips of a high-pressure turbine of a gas turbine aircraft engine and a turbine shroud, including the controlling of a valve delivering a stream of air to the turbine shroud, this method further including the following steps: the detection of a transient acceleration phase of the engine; the receiving of an item of data representative of the gas temperature at the outlet of the combustion chamber of the engine; a valve opening command, to deliver the air stream to the turbine shroud or to increase the flow rate of the delivered air stream, if the transient acceleration phase is detected and if the gas temperature at the outlet of the combustion chamber is greater than a first temperature threshold corresponding to a degraded clearance characteristic of an aged engine, this threshold being less than an operating limit temperature of the engine.

Method and control unit for controlling the play of a high-pressure turbine

A device for controlling clearance between the tips of rotating blades of an aircraft turbomachine and a casing. An air circulation path allows air to be blown onto the casing in order to change its temperature. In addition, heating means heat the circulating air.

Control of clearance between aircraft rotor blades and a casing

The invention relates to a device for connection between two enclosures of a turbomachine, for enabling the circulation of a coolant between said enclosures, via said connection device, said connection device comprising an outer tube () having an opening () extending along the entire length of said outer tube (), and also comprising an inner tube () extending inside the outer tube ().

Double tube connecting device

A turbine wheel for a turbine engine is provided. The turbine wheel includes a disk carrying blades including internal channels for passing a flow of cooling air, each blade having a platform carrying an airfoil and connected by a tang to a root. The blade roots are engaged in grooves in the periphery of the disk and their tangs define between them spaces for housing sealing and damping members, which cooperate with the inside faces of the platforms to define air flow cavities. The tangs of at least some of the blades include cooling air outlet orifices that open out both into internal channels in the blades and into the cavities.

Turbine wheel for a turbine engine

A cooled turbine blade for a gas turbine engine including a pressure surface wall, a suction surface wall and a distal wall connecting the pressure surface wall and the suction surface wall, arranged so as to create in the region of the distal end of the blade at least one external cavity forming a bathtub-shaped cavity and at least one internal cavity separated by the distal wall, the blade having at least one opening for the introduction of a flow of cooling air into the external cavity, wherein, on the one hand, at least one part of the distal wall is inclined relative to the verticals of the pressure surface wall and, on the other hand, the opening is created in the vicinity of the distal wall so that the flow of cooling air is directed towards the distal end of the pressure surface wall.

Cooled turbine blade for gas turbine engine

A turbine wheel for a turbine engine, comprising a disk carrying blades, each having a platform carrying an airfoil and connected by a tang to a root, and sealing and damping sheets housed in the inter-tang spaces, the platforms including projections on their radially internal faces against which the sheets bear radially in operation, in order to define radial clearance and create at least one space between the sheets and the platforms, and the sheets including holes for feeding air to the or each space.
