Definitions
- the invention relates to a peripheral sealing device for blading an axial compressor, the fixed ring or the wall of the casing surrounding the blading comprising circumferential grooves.
- This device has the disadvantage of requiring a combined cutting of the blade heads and steps, resulting in delicate machining and a high cost price.
- French patent 2,432,105 retains the principle of the formation of discontinuities on the inner wall of the compressor casing facing the blading but no longer requires cutting of the blade heads.
- the discontinuities consist of circumferential grooves and / or axially extending cavities. These discontinuities are machined in the bottom of a larger circumferential cavity provided in the envelope. Under the effect of expansions and centrifugal elongation, the ends of the blade heads penetrate into the cavity and rotate with a slight clearance in front of the grooves.
- the device described would allow an appreciable increase in the yield, but experience seems to indicate a contrary result, due to the separation of the flow which occurs on the descending step of the peripheral corridor in which the blade heads emerge.
- French patent 2,440,467 includes, like the previous patent, grooves but these open out at the inside wall of the casing and consequently the ends of the blade heads are no longer embedded.
- the aim is to thicken the boundary layer which forms and which has the effect of thwarting the leakage flow at the tips of the blades and to direct this boundary layer in the direction of the leak which prevails at the tips of the blades.
- the increase in the thickness of the boundary layer leads to a greater susceptibility to dropping, which is undesirable.
- the device according to the invention proceeds from the systems described above and in order to overcome the drawbacks mentioned, it comprises a plurality of circumferential grooves whose profile in section is that of a right triangle of which one side of the right angle is perpendicular to the axis of the compressor and the other side of the right angle of which is parallel to the said axis, the hypotenuse of the right triangle forms a divergent face to the flow of the fluid.
- FIG. 1 shows a partial perspective view of a compressor stage.
- the vane 1 consists in a known manner of vanes 2 held at the periphery of a rotor disc 3.
- the vanes 2 move in front of a ring 4 held in the wall of the compressor housing (not shown).
- This ring has circumferential grooves 5, the shape and distribution of which will be specified later.
- the ring is made of an abradable or non-abradable material in front of which the rectilinear heads 6 of the blades move with very little play.
- the flow of the fluid stream is indicated by the arrows 7.
- the purpose of the circumferential grooves, constituting the sealing device according to the invention, is to create a succession of mini divergent and radial projections, these projections being oriented facing the flow.
- the general sectional profile of a groove is that of a right triangle, one side of the right angle of which is perpendicular to the axis of the ring and the other of which is parallel to said axis.
- the grooves are of the same dimensions and uniformly distributed over the width of the ring.
- the grooving width separating the start 8 of the first groove (or upstream groove) of the projection 9 of the last groove (or downstream groove) must be slightly greater than the depth p of the blade, this depth being measured between two radial planes tangent to the top of the leading and trailing edges.
- the depth of the successive diverging points is variable and increases from upstream to downstream, the axial width of the groove retaining the same dimension.
- Figures 3 and 4 show des.applications in which the divergents are not uniformly distributed on the ring and whose depth and possibly the width of the grooves vary according to their position, in fact the influence of the radial clearance is more or less sensitive at determined locations in the ring and it is then necessary to compensate for these anomalies by an irregular arrangement of the divergents whose action is controlled by their depth.
- Figure 5 is an example of application in which similar grooves are arranged symmetrically with respect to the radial plane of symmetry of the blade.
- the grooves forming the divergent parts and the projections consist of one or more helical grooves. These helical grooves help to deflect the radial component of the velocity in the normal direction of flow and to oppose the reverse flow.
- the ring 4 When the ring 4 is made of an abradable material, this can be molded or machined in the form of removable cartridges as described in French patent 2,452,601. This embodiment has greater ease of maintenance and offers a effective damping of crankcase vibrations.
