  • Patent number: 11879341
    Abstract: A turbine for a turbine engine extending along an axis includes an annular casing and at least one turbine stage having a nozzle and a rotor impeller wheel surrounded by a sealing ring with an abradable element. The impeller wheel and the sealing ring are located downstream of the nozzle, and the sealing ring has an upstream end held on the casing by locking means. The turbine includes elastic sealing means in contact with the locking means as well as with the nozzle or the casing so as to press the locking means against the sealing ring. The locking means includes a radially outer portion with a C-shaped cross-section and a radial portion extending radially inwards from the outer portion. The sealing means include two elastic seals bearing on the radial portion, respectively, on either side of the radial portion.

  • Patent number: 11035242
    Abstract: A sealing assembly for a turbine is provided. The turbine includes stages each including a nozzle blade extending between radially inner and outer platforms, the outer platform including a spoiler which delimits a groove. The assembly includes a ring, a tab, and an anti-wear foil. The ring is to be attached to an outer casing of the turbine. A part of the sealing tab is engaged in a first housing of a ring sector of the ring and another part in a second housing of an adjacent ring sector. The anti-wear foil, open upstream, is mounted in the groove. The downstream end of the ring sectors are to be engaged in the anti-wear foil. Each of the first and second housings is formed by a slot. The tab is bent and disposed in the slots so that a downstream end of the tab extends out of the slots.
