    Assignee: SNECMA
    Inventor: Vincent Philippot
  • Patent number: 8602734
    Abstract: An impeller for a turbine engine which includes a disk provided with blade retention teeth, wherein associated with each tooth there is a mechanism for channelling a flow of cooling air which covers the crest of the tooth so that the latter is swept by the air flow. A turbine of turbine engine which includes an impeller of this type, and a turbine engine for aircraft which includes a turbine of this type.

  • Publication number: 20120237342
    Abstract: A turbine stage for a turbine engine includes a bladed wheel rotatable inside a sectorized ring of composite material carried by a casing. Each ring sector has a downstream circumferential rim held to bear radially against an annular tab that is engaged radially in an annular groove of the downstream circumferential rim of the ring with axial clearance, when cold, that is designed to be reduced to zero in operation when hot, and to enable the annular tab of the casing to be clamped axially in leaktight manner in the annular groove of the ring sector.

  • Patent number: 8133018
    Abstract: A high-pressure turbine of a turbomachine, including at least one upstream guide vane element and an impeller mounted so as to rotate inside ring sectors attached to an annular support which is suspended from an outer casing, the upstream guide vane element including, at its radially inner end, a mechanism for attachment to an inner casing and, at its radially outer end, a mechanism for pressing axially on a fixed element of the turbine that is suspended from the outer casing independently of the annular support for attachment of the ring sectors.

  • Patent number: 7946807
    Abstract: A turbine stator of a gas turbine engine includes a turbine casing, a turbine shroud ring and a shroud ring support connecting the shroud ring to the casing. The stator is one wherein the support is provided with a heat shield positioned on the turbine side. This assembly makes it possible to reduce the take-up of play during transient operating phases.
