Abstract

A sectorized nozzle for a turbine engine turbine including an inner sectorized annular platform and an outer sectorized annular platform connected together by radial airfoils, at least one of the platforms including a plurality of orifices for passing air in a neighborhood of its upstream end, the orifices being distributed over the circumference of the platform and opening out at their ends remote from the airfoils into a circumferential annular cavity of the sector of the platform, which cavity is closed by a metal sheet fastened to the platform sector and pierced by orifices for feeding cooling air.

Claims (15)

1. A sectorized nozzle for a turbine engine turbine comprising:

an inner sectorized annular platform and an outer sectorized annular platform connected together by substantially radial airfoils,

at least one of the platforms including a plurality of through orifices for passing air upstream of a leading edge of the airfoils,

the through orifices being distributed over the circumference of the platform,

wherein the through orifices for passing air in each sector of a platform open out upstream from the airfoils into a circumferential annular cavity of the sector of the platform,

the cavity being closed and further comprising cooling air feed orifices that are offset tangentially in a staggered configuration relative to the through orifices in the platform,

wherein the cavity is formed by a groove arranged in a thickness of the at least one of the platforms of each nozzle sector and closed by a metal sheet including the cooling air feed orifices,

wherein the cavity is disposed downstream of a radial wall of the at least one of the platforms, and a sealing device is fastened to the radial wall, and

wherein the metal sheet being inserted radially between the radial wall and a radial tab of the sealing device.

2. A nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein axes of the through orifices and cooling air feed orifices in the platform and in the annular cavity of each nozzle sector lie substantially in a common plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the nozzle.

3. A nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the through orifices in the platform and in the annular cavity of each nozzle sector are regularly spaced apart from one another.

4. A nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein a number of orifices in the platform of each nozzle sector is equal to a number of orifices in the annular cavity of the nozzle sector.

5. A nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the through orifices in the platform of each nozzle sector are of a diameter substantially identical to a diameter of the cooling air feed orifices in the cavity of the sector.

6. A nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the metal sheet is fastened by brazing or welding on two cylindrical bearing surfaces of the platform of each nozzle sector, which surfaces are situated respectively upstream and downstream relative to the cavity.

7. A turbine engine, or an airplane turboprop or turbojet, comprising a turbine nozzle according to claim 1 , arranged at an outlet from an annular combustion chamber.
