  • Patent number: 10190592
    Abstract: A turbopump includes a turbine fed with hot gas, a pump driven by the turbine and fed with liquid fluid, and a hot gas exhaust pipe situated downstream from the turbine. The turbopump includes a bleed-and-injection circuit including a bleeder for bleeding the liquid fluid at the outlet from the pump, a heater for heating the liquid fluid as bled off in this way so as to transform it into gaseous fluid, and an injector for injecting the gaseous fluid into an interface region of the turbopump situated between the pump and the turbine, so as to optimize the flow and temperature conditions of the fluid entering into the turbine cavity in order to eliminate the vibratory phenomena that result from interaction between the fluid and the turbine disk.
