Abstract
The invention relates to a method of supplying cooling air to the hot portions of a turbojet that comprises, from upstream to downstream: a compressor; a diffuser; a combustion chamber; a distributor; and a turbine driving said compressor, in which method a flow of air is bled from the flow of air delivered by the compressor, the bled-off flow is cooled in a heat exchanger situated radially outside the combustion chamber, and is then directed radially inwards via the stationary blades of the distributor and used for cooling the moving wheel of the turbine, the method wherein the flow of cooling air is bled from the zone of the end of the combustion chamber that surrounds the diffuser, and wherein the stationary blades of the distributor are also cooled by a second flow of air bled from the diffuser.
