Axial compressor disk for a turbomachine with centripetal air bleed
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an axial compressor disk for a turbomachine, the disk including a bleed system for bleeding air centripetally from the compressor stream in order to cool a turbine, said bleed system comprising channels formed outside the working section of the disk and parallel to said section in an extra thickness projecting away from said working section on a face of said disk, wherein the bleed channels are axially open over substantially their entire radial extent.
1. An axial compressor disk for a turbomachine, the disk including a bleed system for centripetally bleeding air from a compressor stream in order to cool a turbine, the bleed system comprising channels formed outside a working section of the disk and parallel to said working section in an extra thickness that projects outside said working section on a face of said disk, said channels being open to the compressor stream through a connection flange for connecting said disk to an adjacent disk,
wherein the bleed channels are axially open over their entire radial extent, said connection flange presenting alternating notches defining said channels in part, and solid portions for connecting said disk to said adjacent disk.
2. A disk according to claim 1 , wherein each bleed channel is defined by two fins that are substantially radial, extending axially from a face of said disk.
3. A disk according to claim 2 , wherein the bleed channels are disposed on a downstream face of said disk and are fed with bleed air via lunules formed by said notches and an upstream circular bearing surface of said adjacent disk.
4. A turbomachine compressor, including a disk according to claim 3 .
5. A compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the adjacent disk includes, in its radially inner region, an annular sealing sleeve that extends axially towards said fins.
6. A compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the axial extent of the fins increases on approaching the radially inner solid portion of the disk.
7. A compressor according to claim 6 , wherein the solid portion of the disk includes a conical extension for deflecting the air flow axially.
8. An axial compressor disk for a turbomachine, the axial compressor disk including a bleed system for centripetally bleeding air from a compressor stream in order to cool a turbine, the bleed system comprising channels formed outside a working section of the axial compressor disk and parallel to said working section in an extra thickness that projects outside said working section on a face of said axial compressor disk, said channels being open to the compressor stream through a connection flange for connecting said axial compressor disk to an adjacent disk,
wherein the bleed channels are axially open over their entire radial extent, said connection flange presenting alternating notches defining said channels in part, and solid portions for connecting said axial compressor disk to said adjacent disk, and
wherein the bleed channels are disposed on a downstream face of said axial compressor disk and are fed with bleed air via lunules formed by said notches and an upstream circular bearing surface of said adjacent disk.
9. A compressor for a turbine, the compressor comprising:
a plurality of disks interconnected by a plurality of flanges, said plurality of disks comprising a first disk and a second disk, said plurality of flanges comprising a flange between said first disk and said second disk, wherein
said first disk comprises channels configured to guide an air flow along said first disk,
said second disk comprises an upstream bearing surface, and
said flange comprises alternating notches and solid portions, said notches and said upstream bearing surface defining openings configured to feed air into said channels.
10. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said channels are axially open toward said second disk.
11. The compressor of claim 10 , wherein said channels are axially open over their entire radial length.
12. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said openings are crescent-shaped.
13. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said channels are formed outside a working section of said first disk.
14. The compressor of claim 13 , wherein said channels are parallel to said working section in a portion that projects from said working section on a face of said first disk.
15. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein each of said channels is defined by two fins.
16. The compressor of claim 15 , wherein said fins are substantially radial, extending axially from a face of said first disk.
17. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said channels are disposed on a downstream face of said first disk.
18. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said second disk comprises an annular sleeve extending axially towards said first disk.
19. The compressor of claim 15 , wherein said first disk comprises a radially inner solid portion and an axial extent of said fins is greater toward said radially inner solid portion than toward said flange.
20. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said first disk comprises a radially inner solid portion with a conical extension configured to deflect air flow axially.
21. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said plurality of disks forms a complete hub for said compressor, and said plurality of disks includes only one disk having the configuration of said first disk.
22. The compressor of claim 9 , wherein said first disk is free of orifices formed by piercing said first disk.
