  • Patent number: 7513737
    Abstract: A blade for a turbomachine gas turbine, the blade having a cooling circuit comprising at least one cooling cavity with a high aspect ratio extending radially between a root and a tip of the blade, and at least one air admission opening at a radially inner end of the cavity to feed it with cooling air, at least one of the walls of the cooling cavity being provided with a plurality of indentations so as to disturb the flow of cooling air in said cavity and increase heat exchange.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070292271
    Abstract: Rotor blade for a compressor or a gas turbine, in particular for a turbojet engine, comprising a suction side and a pressure side, which are joined at their upstream ends by a leading edge and at their downstream ends by a trailing edge for the gases, a platform connecting the suction side and the pressure side to a blade root, and a stiffener formed beneath the downstream part of the platform and including at least one notch or a cut-away in line with the trailing edge, in order to reduce the stresses in the joint region between the aerofoil and the platform.

  • Patent number: 7214034
    Abstract: A system for controlling a leakage zone under platforms of blades of a turbomachine blade-wheel by liners having edges that flare radially inwards, and that are disposed in inter-blade cavities defined by the platforms, by upstream and downstream radial walls of the blades and by the periphery of the wheel disk. One of the flared edges, upstream or downstream, presents an elastic zone bearing on an inclined surface of the adjacent radial wall relative to a radial plane, such that the liner tends to move axially towards the radial wall facing, under action of centrifugal forces, to improve sealing in the zone, and so that when the wheel stops, the elastic zone moves radially inwards, the liner pivoting around an axis distant from the elastic zone.

  • Publication number: 20060257257
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hollow blade having an internal cooling passage, an open cavity situated at the free end of the blade and defined by an end wall extending over the entire end of the blade and by a rim, and cooling channels connecting said internal cooling passage and the outside face of the pressure side wall. In characteristic manner, the pressure side wall presenting a projecting end portion whose outside face is inclined relative to the outside face of the pressure side wall, and said cooling channels being disposed in said end portion, being parallel to the outside face of said end portion so that they open out into the tip of said end portion towards the free end of the blade. The blade is applicable to a high pressure turbine without a heel.
