  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9366150
    Abstract: The present disclosure aims at achieving a mounting of a turbomachine stator blading while avoiding a delicate machining process of the engine casing. It also aims at simplifying the mounting as well as at reducing the costs, and at decreasing the number of item references for the engine. To achieve these objects, the turbomachine uses an extension of the engine casing. A turbomachine comprises at least one stator blading for air or gas stream flowing on the internal engine casing. The stator blading comprises a rim which is assembled on a radial extension of engine casing with an axial fastener. In a preferred embodiment of the turbomachine, the engine casing presents an annular wall provided with fingers originating axially from this wall and extending according to a curvature so that they present a radial extension tip against the rim of the stator blading.

  • Patent number: 9157330
    Abstract: A layout of a blisk includes two inserts housed between the bulb of the blade and the wall of a groove in a disk to compensate for variations in inclination between the overhanging faces of the groove and the upper faces of the bulb at their central part. This construction makes it possible to select blades for which upper faces of the bulb are slightly inclined relative to the radial direction, which facilitates their construction from a composite material.
