Radial impeller with a radially free basic rim
An impeller designed to be mounted on a rotary shaft includes: a basic rim provided with blades protruding on one surface of the basic rim, and a hub capable of being coupled to the basic rim and to the rotary shaft. In certain embodiments, the impeller includes an annular plate and the hub, where the annular plate and the basic rim are configured to interact together so as to hold the basic rim axially and to maintain a freedom of radial deformation of the basic rim relative to the hub and to the annular plate.
FAN FOR A TURBOMACHINE
The invention proposes a fan, in particular for a turbomachine of small size such as a jet engine, having a hub ratio which corresponds to the ratio of the diameter of the inner limit of the incoming air stream (26) at the radially inner ends of the leading edges of the fan blades (10), divided by the diameter of the circle around which the outer ends of the fan blades pass, having a value of between 0.20 and 0.265.
Rotor cover plate
A cover plate for a rotor disk in a gas turbine machine includes a cylindrical body having multiple outward facing snaps and multiple inward facing snaps.
Control of leakage for gas turbine engine compressor blades
A compressor section includes a compressor disk having a slot receiving a blade with an airfoil extending from a platform and the compressor disk having an upstream end and a downstream end. A cover plate at one of the upstream end and the downstream end covers an area between the blade and the compressor disk across a circumference of the compressor disk. The cover plate covers an area between an inner peripheral surface of the platform to a radially innermost end of the slot in the disk. The compressor disk has hooks, and there is a retention ring mounted in a cavity between the hooks and the compressor disk. The cover plate is mounted between the retention ring and the compressor disk. The retention ring retains the cover plate against the compressor disk. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Turbine and method for manufacturing turbine
The turbine includes: a shaft body supported rotatably; a plurality of turbine blade members; a casing covering the shaft body and the turbine blade row; an outer ring member that is provided on an inner periphery of the casing and includes an inner peripheral portion in which a cross-section having a uneven shape is continuous in a circumferential direction; a plurality of turbine vane members that each has a shroud fitted into the inner peripheral portion of the outer ring member and a turbine vane main body extending from the shroud to a radially inward side; and a plate member that connects at least some of the plurality of turbine vane members and covers one side of the shrouds in the axial direction, thereby sealing a shroud gap formed between the shrouds adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction.
Fan rotor and associated turbojet engine
A fan rotor including a disk carrying blades including roots engaged in slots in the disk, a frustoconical cap mounted on the disk upstream from the blades, and a retaining mechanism axially retaining the blades on the disk and including a ring mounted in an annular groove of the disk and forming an abutment for the roots of the blades, the ring being festooned or crenellated and co-operating with a festooned radial annular bead of the annular groove of the disk, and a mechanism preventing the ring from moving in rotation, which includes an annulus carrying at least one axial tooth inserted in hollow portions of the bead of the disk and of the ring, the annulus being fastened by bolts on an upstream radial face of the disk.
Rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine
A rotor assembly is provided, along with gas turbine engines for its use. The rotor assembly may include a spool defining a plurality of apertures arranged in a first row and spaced circumferentially around the spool, wherein each aperture of the plurality of apertures extends through the spool from a radially inward-facing surface to a radially outward-facing surface; and a blade assembly comprising at least two blades connected to each other via a platform, wherein each blade extends through a respective aperture.
