Abstract

L'invention concerne un étage de retour (RCH) d'une turbomachine à écoulement radial (RTM) comprenant au moins un étage à aube directrice (VST), l'étage de retour (RCH) s'étendant de manière annulaire autour d'un axe (X). L'étage de retour (RCH) est défini, radialement vers l'intérieur, par un contour de délimitation interne (IDC) et, radialement vers l'extérieur, par un contour de délimitation externe (ODC). L'étage à aube directrice (VST) comprend des aubes directrices (VNS) dont les surfaces autour desquelles circule l'écoulement s'étendent à partir d'un bord d'attaque (LDE) situé en amont, en tant que côté de refoulement (PRS) et en tant que côté d'aspiration PCS), le long d'une ligne moyenne (SCL), à distance l'une de l'autre, autour de sections transversales de profilés (PRC), jusqu'à un bord de fuite (TLE). Une tangente sur la ligne moyenne (SCL) de chaque section transversale de profilé (PRC) à un plan de référence radial-axial (PRF) forme un angle structural d'aube (CVA) pour chaque point de la ligne moyenne (SCL). Une différence entre un angle structural d'aube (CVA) au niveau du bord d'attaque (LDE) et un angle structural d'aube (CVA) au niveau d'une position en aval définit un angle de renvoi (RDA) pour chaque point de la ligne moyenne (SCL) de chaque section transversale de profilé (PRC). Les aubes directrices (VNS) s'étendent au moins le long d'une partie de la troisième section (SG3), les bords de fuite (TLE) étant disposés dans la troisième section (SG3). Cette invention est caractérisée en ce qu'au niveau du bord de fuite (TLE), au milieu de l'amplitude (SPW), l'angle de renvoi (RDA) est respectivement supérieur à l'angle de renvoi total (RAM) moyen. Au niveau des deux limites de l'amplitude (SPW) jusqu'à respectivement au moins 10% de l'amplitude, chaque angle de renvoi (RDA) est inférieur à l'angle de renvoi total (RAM) moyen.
