  • Patent number: 10605106
    Abstract: A turbine of a gas turbine engine comprising a stator sealing ring element arranged so as to form a labyrinth sealing joint in combination with at least one wiper, rotatable about the axis of the sealing ring. The element includes an abradable material layer with a surface portion engageable with said movable wiper. The abradable material layer on the surface portion axially includes a first area having a first wiper penetration resistance, said first area corresponding to the axial position of the wiper during nominal operation of the turbine, and a second area adjacent to the first area and having lower wiper penetration resistance than the first area. The second area is located downstream from the first area and corresponds to the axial position that the wiper takes when a flame goes out in the combustion chamber of the engine.

  • Patent number: 8221061
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-spool gas turbine engine including an HP turbine stator ring and an exterior wall of the transition channel between the HP and LP stages, a first enclosure for controlling the stator ring, and a second enclosure for distributing air for blowing the exterior wall of the transition channel. The engine is characterized in that the two enclosures are placed in communication via an orifice controlled by a valve adapted to be open when the pressure P1 in the first enclosure is greater than the pressure P2 in the second enclosure, and closed when P1<P2.

  • Patent number: 8100644
    Abstract: A turbine stage in a turbomachine is disclosed. The stage includes a wheel mounted in a ring carried by a turbine casing, and a nozzle situated upstream from the wheel and including an annular fastener rim for fastening to the turbine casing, sealing being provided between the outer rim of the nozzle and the upstream end of the ring by a radial annular sheet bearing axially at its inner and outer peripheries against a downstream face of the outer rim of the nozzle, with its middle annular portion being axially spaced apart from the outer rim of the nozzle and bearing axially against the upstream end of the ring.
