Publication number: 20240117750Abstract: A rotor of a turbine extending around a longitudinal axis includes a rotor disc bearing at its periphery one or more rotor blades, each blade including an airfoil provided at its radially outer end with a platform equipped with an upstream lip and a downstream lip, the platform having a front lateral edge and a back lateral edge with respect to the normal direction of rotation of the rotor about the longitudinal axis, and a suction face portion which extends from the front lateral edge to the suction face of the airfoil. The upstream lip and the downstream lip each includes sawtooth-shaped cut-outs such as to form a front tooth and a back tooth which are contiguous, in that the back tooth has a cutting edge and in that the front tooth of each lip is disposed on the suction face portion of the platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Julian Nicolas GIRARDEAU, Benoit Guillaume SILET

Patent number: 11781442Abstract: A turbine includes a rotor surrounded by a stator, a first movable stage including a series of rotating vanes, a second movable stage including a second series of rotating vanes, a distributor including a series of stationary vanes, the vanes including platforms jointly delimiting a separation between a main space in which a hot flow circulates through the vanes, and a secondary space surrounding a hub of the rotor. The rotor includes an aperture through which air is blown towards the secondary space, this air being discharged towards the main space. Straightening fins are carried by the distributor in the secondary space for straightening the air flow in order to change its gyration.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventor: Julian Nicolas Girardeau

Patent number: 11549394Abstract: The disclosure provides devices for cooling a turbine casing for a turbomachine and methods of using the same. The devices extend around an axis (X) and include air-distribution means configured to take in air and convey it to the casing. The air-distribution means include a first ramp and a second ramp extending circumferentially about the axis (X), each ramp having air ejection orifices intended to be directed towards the casing in order to cool it The devices further include adjustment means capable of adjusting the flow rate of air ejected at the level of the first ramp with respect to the flow rate of air ejected at the level of the second ramp.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Julian Nicolas Girardeau, Maxime Aurélien Rotenberg
