  • Publication number: 20130078101
    Abstract: An interface element to be mounted between a blade root and a blade root housing provided in a turbine disc of a gas turbine engine to limit wear between the root and the housing. The interface element includes: a base, configured to be aligned with a lower part of the root; and first and second upper side walls connected to the base and configured to surround the blade root up to an upper portion thereof, the first upper side wall including at least one ventilation opening to allow a flow of cooling air flowing through the rotor disc housing to flow over the upper portion of the root via the ventilation opening.

  • Patent number: 8402770
    Abstract: A turbine engine including a channel for injecting a cooling air flow of a high-pressure turbine disk, opening into a cavity that is substantially isolated, upstream, from a cavity in which an air flow sampled at the output of a high-pressure compressor circulates, by a first labyrinth seal, and downstream, from a cavity communicating with the primary flow of the turbine engine, by a second labyrinth seal. The turbine engine includes channels communicating with the injection channel and opening through a static part of the first labyrinth seal between two lips of that seal, so as to allow an air flow coming from the injection channel to be injected between the lips.

  • Publication number: 20120308391
    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.

  • Publication number: 20120288362
    Abstract: A turbine stage of a turbine engine, the stage including a rotor wheel mounted inside a sectorized ring carried by an outer casing, the outer casing including at least a circumferential rim housed in an annular cavity to attach a downstream end of the ring sector. A bottom wall of the annular cavity of the ring sector remains radially spaced apart from the circumferential rim of the outer casing to provide a thermally insulating space between them and includes a radial positioning mechanism acting on the circumferential rim.

  • Publication number: 20110318170
    Abstract: A turbine stage for a turbomachine, the stage comprising a rotor wheel mounted inside a sectorized ring carried by an outer casing, and a sectorized nozzle fastened to the casing downstream from the wheel, each ring sector having a downstream end that is held bearing radially outwards against a cylindrical rail of the casing by means of the nozzle, the casing rail including an annular row of through radial notches reducing the areas for heat exchange by conduction both between the casing and the ring sectors and between the casing and the nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20110206504
    Abstract: A stationary vane assembly for a turbine engine including an inner casing and at least two angular sectors forming a high-pressure guide vane assembly, each angular sector including a fastening tab for fastening the angular sector on the casing. The stationary vane assembly including a ring of abradable material fixed on the casing, on the side of a mobile vane assembly using a plurality of screw-nut assemblies, the stationary vane assembly also including radial retaining pins for the angular sectors introduced into first bores formed in the fastening tabs and in the mounting clip, the bores having axes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, the mounting clip being fixed on the casing by the same screw-nut assemblies as those fixing the ring of abradable material support on the casing.
