Gas turbine for aeronautic engines
View Patent ↗In a turbine for aeronautic engines, a first and at least a second turbine disk rotating around a common axis respectively carrying a first and a second moving-blade crown, with which first and, respectively, second axial passages are defined through which a cooling air mass for the turbine disks can pass, a device for conveying cooling air being interposed between the first and the second axial passages to receive the mass of air passing through the first axial passages and send it through the second axial passages.
1. A gas turbine for aeronautic engines comprising a first and at least a second rotating bladed sector comprising respectively a first and a second turbine disk arranged coaxially to an axis of the turbine and respectively carrying a coupled first and second moving-blade crown, the first and the second turbine disk defining with associated blades first and second passages through which a cooling air mass for said turbine disks can pass, a cooling air passageway conveying cooling air to the first and second passages with the cooling air exiting the first passages and flowing towards the second passages, first and second stator bodies interposed between said first and second moving blade crowns, a first seal interposed between the first moving blade crown and said first stator bodies and a second seal interposed between said second stator bodies and said second blade crowns, and a thermally insulating chamber insulating a hot gas flows from the cooling air passageway, said thermal insulating chamber comprising a mechanical barrier stably connected to said stator bodies and defining with the stator bodies an annular duct to convey a bled flow of hot gas exiting through said first seal towards said second seal.
2. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein said second seal defines a reinjection passage of said bled hot gas flow conveyed by said bled flow duct into said hot gas flow.
3. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein said annular duct partially houses said first and second seals.
4. The turbine according to claim 3 , wherein said bled flow duct is spaced in a radial direction from said cooling air passageway.
5. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein said mechanical barrier comprises two metal bodies protruding in axially opposite directions from a support appendage obtained near the junction area of said first and second turbine disk.
6. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein said thermally insulating chamber comprises an annular insulation chamber arranged between said annular duct and said cooling air passageway, said annular insulation chamber housing an insulating air cushion.
7. The turbine according to claim 6 , wherein said annular insulation chamber communicates with an inlet and with an outlet of said annular duct through respective throttled passages.
8. A gas turbine for aeronautic engines comprising a plurality of rotating bladed sectors with a like plurality of turbine disks arranged coaxially relative to an axis of the turbine and respectively carrying moving blade crowns, the plurality of turbine disks defining with the associated blades a plurality of passages through which a cooling air mass for the turbine disks can pass, a cooling air passageway conveying cooling air through the plurality of turbine disk passageways between adjacent turbine disks, a plurality of stator bodies respectively interposed between the moving-blade crowns, a plurality of sets of first and second seals interposed between and spaced apart adjacent each moving blade crown and each stator body, and a thermally insulating chamber insulating a hot gas flow from the cooling air passageway and including a mechanical barrier stably connected to said plurality of stator bodies and defining therewith an annular duct to convey a bled flow of hot gas between each of the plurality of sets of first and second seals with the flow in each set being from the first seal towards the second seal.
9. The turbine according to claim 8 , wherein said second seal defines a reinjection passage of said bled hot gas flow conveyed by said bled flow duct into said hot gas flow.
10. The turbine according to claim 8 , wherein said annular duct partially houses said first and second seals.
11. The turbine according to claim 10 , wherein said annular duct is spaced in a radial direction from said cooling air passageway.
12. The turbine according to claim 8 , wherein said mechanical barrier comprises two metal bodies protruding in axially opposite directions from a support appendage obtained near the junction area of said first and second turbine disk.
13. The turbine according to claim 8 , wherein said thermally insulating chamber comprises an annular insulation chamber arranged between said annular duct and said cooling air passageway, said annular insulation chamber housing an insulating air cushion.
14. The turbine according to claim 8 , wherein said annular insulation chamber communicates with an inlet and with an outlet of said annular duct through respective throttled passages.
