  • 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: 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: 8757983
    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 said 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: 8647066
    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.

  • Patent number: 8083476
    Abstract: A method of designing a multistage turbine for a turbomachine in which each turbine stage comprises a stator row and a rotor row each made up of an annular row of airfoils, wherein, for all of the stator or rotor rows, it consists in simultaneously modifying the shapes of the airfoils of said rows to straighten out the wakes from the trailing edges of said airfoils, then in angularly positioning the rows in such a manner that the wakes from the airfoils of the stator (or rotor) airfoils impact against the leading edges of the stator (or rotor, respectively) airfoils of the rows situated downstream, in order to achieve multistage aerodynamic coupling simultaneously over the turbine as a whole.
