  • Patent number: 5468123
    Abstract: The system makes it possible to reduce the clearances existing between the rotor and stator of a turbine (40) of a turbo jet engine during the various operating phases of the latter whilst keeping the temperatures of the disks inside the limits of their mechanical behaviour. The disks (4) of the turbine (40) are ventilated via the sampling of high pressure air at a high temperature (2) and the stator via the sampling of low pressure air at a low temperature (3). The respective temperatures of these two samplings are homogenized by a heat exchanger (1). This exchanger is short-circuited by a branch circuit connection (5) on the low pressure circuit so as to keep as stable as possible the clearances inside the turbine (40) according to the various ranges of capacity of the turbo jet engine by means of a valve (6) controlled by the computer.Application for aircraft turbo jet engines.

  • Patent number: 5362202
    Abstract: The adjustment of the play separating the stators and the rotor is effected automatically and jointly with adjustment of the phase angle of the stators. For each startor, at least one slug is used, the slug being mounted for sliding in an oblique groove of a bush integral with the stator. A bush, groove and slug arrangement can also be provided for an adjustable stop on the starter to adjust the play between a free extremity of the rotor blade and the adjustable stop on the stator. Pivoting of each stator provokes a systematic modification of the play.
