Ventilation device for a high pressure turbine rotor of a turbomachine
View Patent ↗A ventilation device for a high pressure turbine rotor in a turbomachine, the turbine comprising upstream and downstream turbine disks fitted with blades, the device comprising a cooling circuit being supplied by a cooling airflow D taken from the back of the combustion chamber. The circuit is such that the airflow passes through orifices formed in an upstream flange of the upstream disk, such that this airflow circulates in the axial direction towards the downstream side between an inner reaming of the upstream disk and a downstream flange of the downstream disk, the device also comprising a labyrinth inserted between the two disks, such that the airflow is divided into a first flow F1 and a second flow circulating on each side of labyrinth towards the blades.
1. Ventilation device for a high pressure turbine rotor of a turbomachine, the turbine rotor being arranged on the downstream part of a combustion chamber and comprising an upstream turbine disk fitted with blades and a downstream turbine disk fitted with blades, said device comprising a cooling circuit fitted with injectors on the upstream side of the upstream disk and supplied with a cooling airflow D taken from the back of the combustion chamber, wherein said cooling circuit is arranged such that the cooling airflow D originating from the injectors passes through orifices formed in an upstream flange of the upstream disk so that the upstream flange of the upstream disk can be fixed on an upstream flange of the downstream disk, so that this cooling airflow D circulates in the axial downstream direction between an inner reaming in the upstream disk and the upstream flange of the downstream disk so that the upstream flange of the downstream disk can be fixed on a downstream flange of a high pressure compressor and so that the upstream disk can be centered, said ventilation device also comprising a single labyrinth fixed to one of the two turbine disks and being inserted between these two disks, such that the cooling airflow D is divided into a first flow F 1 circulating between a downstream face of the upstream disk and an upstream face of the single labyrinth towards the blades of the upstream disk, and into second flow F 2 circulating between an upstream face of the downstream disk and a downstream face of the single labyrinth towards the blades of the downstream disk.
2. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the injectors penetrate into a cavity partially delimited by the upstream flange of the upstream turbine disk, and by an upstream seal and a downstream seal, this downstream seal cooperating with a secondary upstream flange of the upstream turbine disk.
3. Device according to claim 1 or to claim 2 , wherein several orifices are formed in the upstream flange of the downstream turbine disk, so that a third flow F 3 of the cooling airflow D can pass through the orifices, said third flow F 3 circulating in the downstream axial direction within an annular space formed between firstly the upstream flange of the downstream disk and an inner reaming of this downstream disk, and secondly a spacer located around a rotor shaft of a low pressure turbine.
4. Device according to claim 1 or claim 2 , wherein the single labyrinth is fixed to a secondary upstream flange of the downstream turbine disk, in which several orifices are formed through which the second flow F 2 of the cooling airflow D can circulate towards the blades of the downstream disk.
