The present invention relates to a rotor (1) of a turbomachine turbine, comprising a rotor disc (2) and a plurality of blades (3) distributed at its periphery, said rotor disc (2) comprising a plurality of mainly axial cells (23), each blade (3) comprising a root (32), retained in one of the cells (23) of said rotor disc, each root being dimensioned so as to form a space (4) between the bottom of the cell (23) and the radially inner face (324) of the root.

This rotor is remarkable in that said root comprises a mainly axial blind hole (5) opening onto the upstream face of the root and a plurality of mainly radial air ejection orifices (6), each air ejection orifice (6) opening into said blind hole (5) and onto the radially inner face (324) of the root located facing the bottom of the cell (23).

A turbine disc assembly is provided. The turbine disc assembly includes a first rotor disc, a second rotor disc, and a spacer disc coupled between the first and second rotor discs along an axis to define a plenum. The spacer disc has an inner surface with a radius from the axis. A first cooling channel defined between the first rotor disc and the spacer disc is in flow communication with the plenum. The second rotor disc includes a deflector having a deflection surface positioned within the plenum such that the deflection surface is oriented towards the first cooling channel at an acute angle relative to the radius of the inner surface of the spacer disc.

A cooled turbine rotor blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil and a profiled root radially inward of the airfoil, a platform between the airfoil and the root, and a cooling air supply channel extending through the platform into an interior of the airfoil and therein up to an outlet opening. An inlet opening of the cooling air supply channel is located at the rear side of the rotor blade, and an inlet part of the cooling air supply channel with the inlet opening is angled into the direction of rotation of the rotor blade and curved into a radially outward direction. Further, a rotor-stator stage for a gas turbine includes a rotor blade as above, and an air cavity radially inwards of sealing features between the rotor stage and a neighboring downstream stator stage to form a source of cooling air for the rotor blade.

Disclosed herein is a system for cooling a gas turbine. The system for cooling a gas turbine cools a turbine disk unit by individually supplying cooling air to each of a plurality of turbine disks.

A turbine unit for an aircraft turbine engine, comprises a rotor disc (17) axially continued by a rim (36) and carrying rotary blades (18) defining together with the disc (17) channels for air flow (43); an annular flange (33) including a bearing end (34) and defining together with the rim (36) an air passage (42) communicating with the channels for air flow (43); a member (32) for axially retaining the blades applied against the disc (17) by the bearing end (34), this turbine unit being characterised in that at least one element, out of the retaining member (32) and the flange (33), comprises a groove (44) formed facing the other element, out of the retaining member (32) and the flange (33), and into which a sealing joint (45) against which the other element axially bears is inserted.

A ventilation flow path, a cooling air flow path, a mixing space, and a mixed air flow path are formed in a gas turbine rotor. The ventilation flow path guides compressed air farther on an axially upstream side than an air discharge port of a compressor to an interior of a compressor rotor as compressor extracted air. The cooling air flow path guides cooling air to a part farther on an axially downstream side than the air discharge port. The compressor extracted air and the cooling air are mixed in the mixing space. The mixed air flow path guides mixed air containing the compressor extracted air and the cooling air into a turbine rotor.
