Abstract

When cold and in the non-coated state, the aerodynamic profile is substantially identical to a nominal profile determined by the Cartesian coordinates X,Y, Zadim given in Table 1, in which the coordinate Zadim is the quotient D/H where D is the distance of the point under consideration from a first reference plane P 0 situated at the base of the nominal profile, and H is the height of said profile measured from the first reference plane to a second reference plane P 1 . The measurements D and H are taken radially relative to the axis of the turbine, while the X coordinate is measured in the axial direction of the turbine.

Claims (11)

1. An aerodynamic profile for a turbine vane, the aerodynamic profile defining the turbine vane when cold and in a non-coated state, the aerodynamic profile being substantially identical to a nominal profile determined by Cartesian coordinates X,Y,Zadim given in Table 1, in which the coordinate Zadim is a quotient D/H, where D is a distance of a point under consideration from a reference X,Y plane situated at a base of the nominal profile, and H is a height of said profile measured from said reference plane out to an end of the turbine vane, the measurements D and H being taken radially relative to an axial direction of a turbine, while the coordinate X is measured in the axial direction of the turbine.

2. The aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said profile is defined within an envelope of ±1 mm in a direction normal to the surface of the nominal profile.

3. The aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coordinates X,Y of said profile lie within a range of ±5% relative to the coordinates X,Y of the nominal profile.

4. The aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the turbine vane is a nozzle vane forming a part of a stator of the turbine.

5. The aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the turbine vane is a nozzle vane of a fifth stage of the turbine.

6. The aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the turbine vane is a vane of a fifth stage nozzle of the turbine, wherein the turbine includes seven stages.

7. A turbine vane, presenting an aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 1 .

8. A turbine, including a plurality of turbine vanes presenting aerodynamic profiles as claimed in claim 1 .

9. A turbine as claimed in claim 8 , including a nozzle that is stationary in rotation, having 140 to 160 vanes that each present the aerodynamic profile.

10. A turbine nozzle forming a portion of a turbine stator, wherein all the turbine vanes of the nozzle present an aerodynamic profile as claimed in claim 1 .
