  • Publication number: 20110189023
    Abstract: A blade for a turbomachine impeller including an airfoil, and at least one platform at one of the ends of the airfoil, the blade configured to be arranged with a plurality of substantially identical blades so as to form a ring around a ring axis. In the blade, a suction surface profile at the surface of the platform and along the suction surface has a first recessed part located axially in an upstream half of the airfoil and a first boss-like part located axially downstream of the first recessed part. Due to this configuration, efficiency of the blade is improved.

  • Publication number: 20110110788
    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.

  • Publication number: 20110014056
    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.
