Abstract
The invention deals with a splitter nose delimiting the inlet of a low-pressure compressor of an axial turbine engine. The splitter nose comprises a separation surface with an upstream circular edge suitable for separating a flow entering into the turbine engine into a primary flow and a secondary flow, and a plasma de-icing device. The device comprises two annular layers of dielectric material () partially forming the separation surface, an electrode forming the upstream edge, an electrode forming an outer wall of the splitter nose, an electrode forming an outer shroud which supports blades, an electrode delimiting the primary flow. The device generates plasmas () opposing the presence of ice on the partitions of the splitter nose. The invention also deals with a turbine engine with a splitter nose that is provided with a de-icing system downstream of the fan.
