  • Publication number: 20240271535
    Abstract: A cooling jacket for a hollow airfoil of a turbine nozzle of a turbomachine, includes a main body including a central intake duct central defining a first ventilation air circulation area and connected to suction and pressure faces including at least two rows of drill holes by two separating walls defining second and third ventilation air circulation areas, an outer plate including first, second and third holes to allow the ventilation air respectively into the first, second and third ventilation air circulation areas, and an inner plate including a central opening to expel air from the first ventilation air circulation area, the outer and inner plates being secured by respectively soldering to the main body to form a one-piece unit with three ventilation air circulation areas, independent and airtight with respect to one another, before its installation in the hollow airfoil of the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 12055061
    Abstract: A turbine ring assembly extending around an axis, including a plurality of ring sectors made of ceramic matrix composite material forming a turbine ring and a ring support structure held by a turbine casing, each ring sector including a base from which an upstream tab and a downstream tab extend radially outward, spaced axially from one another, wherein the assembly also includes a cross-member mechanically connected to the ring support and including a first radial flange bearing against the upstream latching tabs of the ring sectors, and, for each ring sector, at least two transverse pins and a radial spring, each transverse pin passing through the upstream latching tab and the downstream latching tab of the ring sector and the ring support to hold the ring sector and the ring support secured to one another.

  • Publication number: 20240229671
    Abstract: A distributor for a turbine of a turbomachine. The distributor includes a radially inner platform, a blade and a root which is coated with a track made of an abradable material. According to the invention, the distributor includes a leakage gas reintroduction duct. The duct includes an inlet through the track made of an abradable material, an outlet opening through a downstream surface of the root, and a duct intermediate portion which extends from the inlet up to the outlet. The duct intermediate portion is orientated with a tangential component.

  • Patent number: 11965426
    Abstract: The turbine (12) for a turbine engine (100) extends around a major axis (X-X) and comprises: —a casing (4) comprising an annular hook (38), —a movably mounted impeller (16), —a ring (30) extending opposite the impeller in a direction radial to the major axis (XX), —a distributor (14) comprising a blade provided with a platform (11), the platform being extended radially outwards by a spoiler (22, 24), the spoiler (22, 24) being radially mounted on the hook (38), and —foils (40) each having a profiled trough shape in a direction circumferential to the axis, the foils extending in succession in the circumferential direction, each foil (40) extending between the spoiler (22, 24) and the hook (38). The turbine comprises stops (162) to prevent the foils (40) from moving in the circumferential direction. Each foil (40) comprises a protrusion (162) arranged so as to extend circumferentially opposite another protrusion (162) of another adjacent foil (40).

  • Patent number: 11913350
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbine injector comprising an annular ring extending around a longitudinal axis and having a radially outer edge and a radially inner edge. The crown has a plurality of channels for fluidly connecting the radially outer edge to the radially inner edge, each channel extending in a radial plane of the ring and having an inlet opening near the outer edge and an outlet opening near the radially inner edge, the orientation of each channel varying progressively according to a tangential component between the inlet section of the inlet opening and the outlet section of the outlet opening.
