  • Patent number: 11879347
    Abstract: A turbomachine turbine casing that extend around an axis and includes an annular wall and a cooling device. The annular wall is provided with a casing hook which extends in radial protrusion from an inside of the annular wall. The casing hook allows a mounting, on the turbomachine turbine casing, of ring segments disposed circumferentially end to end around the axis. The cooling device includes a collector duct intended to convey cooling air, the collector duct extending circumferentially around the annular wall. The collector duct has a cooling air inlet and a cooling air outlet. The collector duct and the annular wall have a common portion, which delimits the collector duct and from which the corresponding casing hook extends.
