  • Patent number: 7033136
    Abstract: A gas turbine blade of a turbomachine includes in its central portion a centrally-located first cooling circuit at least a suction side cavity, at least a pressure side cavity, at least a central cavity extending between the suction side cavity and the pressure side cavity, a first air admission opening at a radially bottom end of the suction side cavity, a second air admission opening at a radially bottom end of the pressure side cavity, at least a first passage putting a radially top end of the suction side cavity into communication with a radially top end of the central cavity, at least a second passage putting a radially top end of the pressure side cavity into communication with the radially top end of the central cavity, and outlet orifices opening out both into the central cavity and into the pressure side face of the blade.

  • Patent number: 6916155
    Abstract: A gas turbine blade for an airplane engine, comprising in its central portion at least a first central cooling circuit comprising at least first and second cavities extending radially on the concave side of the blade, at least one cavity extending on the convex side of the blade, an air admission opening at a radial end of the first concave side cavity for feeding the first central cooling circuit with cooling air, a first passage putting the other radial end of the first concave side cavity into communication with an adjacent radial end of the convex side cavity, a second passage putting the other radial end of the convex side cavity into communication with an adjacent radial end of the second concave side cavity, and outlet orifices opening out into the second concave side cavity and through the concave face of the blade.
