Abstract

The invention relates to a cooling device ( 21 ) extending circumferentially around a turbine engine casing ( 1 ), such as, for example, a turbine casing ( 7 ), comprising a support ( 24 ) extending axially and intended to be attached to the casing ( 18 ), at least one cooling tube ( 23 ) extending circumferentially, at least one attachment member ( 25 ) comprising a radially inner portion ( 36 ) at least partially surrounding the tube ( 23 ), and a radially outer portion ( 37 ) attached to the support ( 24 ), the radially outer portion ( 37 ) of the attachment member ( 25 ) being attached to the support ( 24 ) through connecting means ( 30 ) formed by L-shaped sheets.

Claims (23)

1. A cooling device extending circumferentially around a casing of a turbomachine, comprising:

an axially extending support for attachment to the casing,

at least one circumferentially extending cooling tube,

at least one fastening device, comprising a radially inner part at least partially surrounding the tube, and a radially outer part fixed to the support, characterised in that the radially outer part of the fastening device is fixed to the support by means of connecting means, said connecting means comprising two connecting members, each connecting member comprising a radially extending portion and an axially extending portion, the radial portions of the connecting members facing each other and fixed to each other, the radially outer portion of the fixing member being fixed to said radial portions of the connecting members, the axial portions of the connecting members being fixed to the support and each extending in an opposite axial direction.

2. The cooling device according to claim 1 , characterised in that each connecting member is formed by a folded sheet metal.

3. The cooling device according to claim 2 , characterised in that the radially outer part of the fastening device is fastened to the connecting members by means of at least one axially extending screw or rivet.

4. The cooling device according to claim 2 , characterised in that it comprises at least two tubes extending circumferentially and axially spaced apart, each tube being attached to the support by means of a fastening device, the radially outer parts of the fastening devices being attached to the radial parts of the connecting members.

5. The cooling device according to claim 2 , characterised in that the support has at least one lumen situated radially opposite the radially inner part of the fixing member or members, the axial part of at least one connecting member having a central part extending opposite the lumen.

6. The cooling device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the radially outer part of the fastening device is fastened to the connecting members by means of at least one axially extending screw or rivet.

7. The cooling device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the radial portions of the connecting members have radially extending oblong holes, said screw or said rivet being engaged in said oblong holes.

8. The cooling device according to claim 7 , characterised in that it comprises at least two tubes extending circumferentially and axially spaced apart, each tube being attached to the support by means of a fastening device, the radially outer parts of the fastening devices being attached to the radial parts of the connecting members.

9. The cooling device according to claim 7 , characterised in that the support has at least one lumen situated radially opposite the radially inner part of the fixing member or members, the axial part of at least one connecting member having a central part extending opposite the lumen.

10. The cooling device according to claim 6 , characterised in that it comprises at least two tubes extending circumferentially and axially spaced apart, each tube being attached to the support by means of a fastening device, the radially outer parts of the fastening devices being attached to the radial parts of the connecting members.

11. The cooling device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the support has at least one lumen situated radially opposite the radially inner part of the fixing member or members, the axial part of at least one connecting member having a central part extending opposite the lumen.

12. The cooling device according to claim 1 , characterised in that it comprises at least two tubes extending circumferentially and axially spaced apart, each tube being attached to the support by means of a fastening device, the radially outer parts of the fastening devices being attached to the radial parts of the connecting members.

13. The cooling device according to claim 12 , characterised in that the support has at least one lumen situated radially opposite the radially inner part of the fixing member or members, the axial part of at least one connecting member having a central part extending opposite the lumen.

14. The cooling device according to claim 12 , characterised in that the support has an axially extending main wall, flanges extending radially outwards from the side edges of the main wall.

15. The cooling device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the support has at least one lumen situated radially opposite the radially inner part of the fixing member or members, the axial part of at least one connecting member having a central part extending opposite the lumen.

16. The cooling device according to claim 15 , characterised in that the axial portion of each connecting member is generally U-shaped with the central part from which two end branches extend, each extending axially on an opposite side of the lumen.

17. The cooling device according to claim 15 , characterised in that the support has an axially extending main wall, flanges extending radially outwards from the side edges of the main wall.

18. C The cooling ooling device according to claim 1 , characterised in that an axially extending spacer is mounted between the radially outer part of at least one fastening device and the connecting means.

19. The cooling device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the support has an axially extending main wall, flanges extending radially outwards from the side edges of the main wall.

20. An assembly comprising an annular casing of a turbomachine, characterised in that it comprises a cooling device according to claim 1 , fixed to said casing and surrounding said casing.
