  • Patent number: 11208909
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a device for providing sealing between one rotor section and one stator section. The device includes a coating made of an abradable material attached to the stator section. The device further includes a lip on a portion of the rotor section. The lip is configured to form a seal with the abradable material. The gas turbine engine further includes passages for a gaseous fluid and means for blowing such gaseous fluid. The passages open into the rotor section provided with the lip, so that blown gaseous fluid can be present in a zone radially located between the coating and the lip.

  • Patent number: 10907505
    Abstract: A method of assembling a turbine for a turbine engine that includes mounting annular sectors around the blades to form an abradable ring that includes a groove in a sector of the annular sectors. The method also includes engaging a first wiper of a particular blade of the blades with the groove of the sector. The method further includes axially engaging an assembly comprising the blades and the annular sectors in a casing of a turbine, so that fixing members of the annular sectors cooperate with flanges of the casing to fix the annular sectors in the casing, around the blades. The fixing members comprise at least one upstream fixing member fixed on a radially internal facing side of an upstream end of the annular sectors and at least one downstream fixing member arranged at a downstream end of the annular sectors.

  • Patent number: 10590803
    Abstract: A turbine ring assembly includes ring sectors made as a single piece of ceramic matrix composite material and being for mounting on a metal ring support structure, the ring support structure having two tabs extending radially towards a gas flow passage, each ring sector having a first portion forming an annular base with a radially inside face defining the inside face of the turbine ring and an outside face from which there extend two tab-forming portions, the ring sectors having a section that is substantially ? shaped. The tabs of each ring sector fit axially over the tabs of the ring support structure with contact between the tabs of the ring support structure and the tabs of each ring sector when cold. The tabs of each ring sector are held to the ring support structure by pegs passing through holes formed in the tabs of each ring sector.
