  • Patent number: 11698003
    Abstract: A cooling device (11) for a turbine of a turbomachine extending along an axis includes at least one radially inner metal sheet (14) and one radially outer metal sheet (15) that are joined to one another and delimit, between them, cooling air circulation channels (17) extending circumferentially from a connection region (16). Each channel (17) includes at least one air inlet and air ejection orifices (19), that are designed to be oriented toward a region to be cooled. The cooling device also includes at least one cooling duct (21) intended for the circulation of cooling air, the duct (21) located radially outside said metal sheets (14, 15) and close to or in contact with the metal sheets so as to cool said metal sheets using the cooling air circulating in the duct (21), the cooling duct (21) extending axially and arranged toward the circumferential end regions of the channels (17).

  • Patent number: 11441442
    Abstract: A sealing device between a rotor part and a stator part, including at least one abradable coating cooperating with at least two upstream and downstream labyrinth seal lips. Axially upstream of the labyrinth seal lips, the sealing device includes a circumferential wall that radially extends beyond the upstream free axial sealing surface of the coating to create, at the free end of the upstream labyrinth seal lip, a separation of the circulating gas.

  • Patent number: 11428110
    Abstract: An abradable structure (36) is provided, with regions (44, 45, 46) with lower resistance to wearing produced by labyrinth seal lips (4, 5), at specific points in the axial direction of the turbomachine, where lip interference could cause the rotor to block up, such as after a temporary shutdown of the turbomachine. These regions may be produced by local weakening (38) or by the abradable material having a structure that is less dense. Application, for example, to turbomachine turbines.

  • Patent number: 11149577
    Abstract: A device for controlling the clearance between a rotor and a stator surrounding same, which is carried out by modifying the delivery flow carried in a rotor recess in order to provide a bleed flow that prevents the gases from the flow section from penetrating into the recess. A valve can partially close the delivery circuit, thus reducing the cooling of the rotor structure and allowing the expansion thereof and the reduction of the clearance with the stator, for certain operating speeds including cruise operating speeds. In addition, the delivery air is heated more at a lower flow rate, especially if it is made to follow a bypass provided with meanders in the hottest portions of the circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210006038
    Abstract: An optical frequency comb setup including a semiconductor cascade laser drivable by a laser driver, emitting a laser beam through an end facet of the semiconductor cascade laser with a frequency comb with at least two given individual emission frequencies, repetition frequency, carrier envelope offset frequency shows improved comb stability and/or comb formation and/or comb bandwidth. This is achieved by an external cavity added outside of the cavity of the semiconductor cascade laser, having a reflective element with a mirror surface reflecting the at least two individual emission frequencies being arranged in a relative distance to the end facet allowing to adapt repetition frequency and/or carrier envelope offset frequency and/or the dispersion seen by the light in the optical frequency comb setup.
