  • Patent number: 9518467
    Abstract: A blade for a turbomachine impeller including an airfoil, and a platform extending at one of the ends of the airfoil in a direction globally perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the airfoil, the blade configured, together with other identical blades, to form a ring around a ring axis, with the adjacent blade platforms joining in pairs so as to form an inter-airfoil surface linking the pressure surface of one airfoil to the suction surface of the neighboring airfoil. In this blade, the inter-airfoil surface includes, in an upstream half of the airfoil, a boss located closer to the pressure surface than to the suction surface, and a recessed passage located between the same and the suction surface.

  • Patent number: 9022744
    Abstract: A turbine engine blade having a plurality of blade sections stacked along a radial axis between a root and a tip. Each section extends along a longitudinal axis between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and along a tangential axis between a pressure-side face and a suction-side face. Each section presents a camber line, a deviation defined for each section as the difference between an angle between the tangent to the camber line at the leading edge and the longitudinal axis, and an angle between the tangent to the camber line at the trailing edge and the longitudinal axis. The minimum deviation is at the root of the blade, and the maximum deviation is present at sections situated in the range 0.3H to 0.8H, where H is the height of the blade measured from its root to its tip.

  • Patent number: 9004865
    Abstract: A blade for a turbomachine impeller including an airfoil and at least one platform at one end of the airfoil, the blade configured to be arranged with a plurality of substantially identical blades so as to form a ring, the platform surface having a suction surface profile and a pressure surface profile respectively along the suction surface and the pressure surface. In the blade, the pressure surface profile including a pressure surface recessed part is located axially in an upstream half of the airfoil. Due to this configuration, efficiency of the blade is improved.

  • Patent number: 8757968
    Abstract: When cold and in the non-coated state, the aerodynamic profile is substantially identical to a nominal profile determined by the Cartesian coordinates X,Y,Z? given in Table 1, in which the coordinate Z? is the quotient D/H where D is the distance of the point under consideration from a first reference plane P0 situated at the base of the nominal profile, and H is the height of the profile measured from the first reference plane to a second reference plane P1. The measurements D and H are taken radially relative to the axis of the turbine, while the X coordinate is measured in the axial direction of the turbine.

  • Patent number: 7527470
    Abstract: A turbomachine stator vane having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and pressure side and suction side faces, a first and a second series of a plurality of holes, calibrated emission holes, and a perforated open liner defining an annular cavity between an outside wall of the liner and an inside wall of the vane, an air opening for feeding cooling air to the inside of the liner, and an air exhaust opening for exhausting cooling air from the vane, the liner being secured to the vane at one end and being free at another end to slide along an inside edge of the vane under the effects of relative thermal expansion between the liner and the inside wall of the vane. The holes through the liner in the second series of holes are disposed to avoid any impact of the cooling air against the bridges of the vane.

  • Patent number: 7137783
    Abstract: A cooled gas turbine blade includes a foundry part and a longitudinal sleeve obtained by the forming of metal sheet. The foundry part includes a longitudinal body provided with a longitudinal cavity with first and second apertures at its ends. The sleeve is mounted in the cavity being held therein by soldering or brazing to the wall of the first aperture, and an end portion of which is free to slide in the second slide-forming aperture. The end portion and the slide are in sliding contact relatively to surfaces formed by machining. A sealing insert can be positioned between the end portion of the sleeve and the wall of the second aperture. This insert can be integral with the sleeve.
