  • Patent number: 10267154
    Abstract: The turbine (1) has a rotor (2) with blades (4) arranged on a periphery of disks (5) in radial planes (3), and a tie rod (6) extending along slots (7) in the disks. An annular spacer (15, 15?) fixes a position of the tie rod relative to a center line (M) of the disks, and is arranged in a channel (10, 11). The spacer has through-openings, which are arranged radially relative to the tie rod or to its center line, and extend coaxially. The channel carries a cooling medium and is limited by a separating pipe (13, 14) radially outwards. The through-openings serve for flow of the medium.

    Abstract: A turbine wheel for a turbine engine, comprising a disk carrying blades each having a platform, carrying an impeller connected by a stilt to a root. Each blade comprises an upstream radial wall and a downstream radial wall extending inwards from the platform of the blade. The roots of the blades are engaged into slots on the periphery of the disk, so that the radial walls of the blades and the platforms of the blades are circumferentially arranged end-to-end, and define inter-blade cavities radially inside the platforms, each accommodating an inter-blade sealing and vibration damping member. At least one member comprises an elastically deformable element configured so as to be elastically prestressed against the walls of a cavity in the member mounting position.
