  • Patent number: 7037078
    Abstract: In a moving turbine wheel, blade inserts are used with at least two blades interconnected by common outer and inner platforms and sharing a common root. The blade inserts have hollow roots in which respective recesses are formed, and the insert roots belonging to the same wheel and/or two different wheels are voluntarily given different configurations in order to adjust the resonant frequencies of the inserts to values that are significantly different, thereby ensuring that the inserts in the same wheel and/or between two different wheels are out of tune.

  • Patent number: 6916151
    Abstract: A ventilation device for a high pressure turbine rotor in a turbomachine, the turbine comprising upstream and downstream turbine disks fitted with blades, the device comprising a cooling circuit being supplied by a cooling airflow D taken from the back of the combustion chamber. The circuit is such that the airflow passes through orifices formed in an upstream flange of the upstream disk, such that this airflow circulates in the axial direction towards the downstream side between an inner reaming of the upstream disk and a downstream flange of the downstream disk, the device also comprising a labyrinth inserted between the two disks, such that the airflow is divided into a first flow F1 and a second flow circulating on each side of labyrinth towards the blades.

  • Publication number: 20040219008
    Abstract: The invention relates to ventilation device for a high pressure turbine rotor in a turbomachine, the turbine comprising upstream (3) and downstream (5) turbine disks fitted with blades (4, 6), the device comprising a cooling circuit being supplied by a cooling airflow D taken from the back of the combustion chamber. According to the invention, the circuit is such that the airflow passes through orifices (74) formed in an upstream flange (66) of the upstream disk, such that this airflow circulates in the axial direction towards the downstream side between an inner reaming (48) of the upstream disk and a downstream flange (78) of the downstream disk, the device also comprising a labyrinth (80) inserted between the two disks, such that the airflow is divided into a first flow F1 and a second flow F2 circulating on each side of the labyrinth towards the blades (4, 6).

  • Publication number: 20040219024
    Abstract: For the or each moving wheel of the turbine, blade inserts are used each comprising at least two blades interconnected by common outer and inner platforms and sharing a common root. Inserts are used having hollow roots in which respective recesses are formed, and the roots of inserts belonging to the same wheel and/or the roots of inserts belonging to two different wheels are voluntarily given different configurations in the inserts of the roots so as to adjust the resonant frequencies of said inserts to values that are significantly different, thereby ensuring that the inserts in the same wheel and/or between two different wheels are out of tune. The invention is applicable to turbines both for aviation and for industrial applications.

  • Patent number: 5915919
    Abstract: Layout for adjusting the diameter of a turbine engine ring (5) positioned facing mobile rotor blades (4) and connected to a case element (7). The latter is provided with a cavity (16) communicating with chambers (21, 23) around a gas flow stream (31). A limited air current traverses the cavity (16) and is sufficiently reduced to ensure the development of a heat convection, which renders uniform the temperature of the case element (7) and the ring (5) and consequently the diameter of the latter.
