Abstract

A hollow turbomachine turbine blade including rising cavities communicating with a squealer tip of the blade through standard dust removal holes intended to remove dust and through inclined cooling bores intended to cool a barrier of the squealer tip by leading to a pressure side face of the blade, at least one rising cavity including a tip with no dust removal hole and an inclined cooling bore formed in its lateral wall and intended to cool the squealer tip barrier is enlarged to have a diameter at least equal to the standard diameter of a dust removal hole and thus also serve as a dust removal hole, so that the air flow extracted for cooling the blade is reduced, at least one of the cavities positioned facing the tip of one of the rising cavities having an increased volume corresponding to at least a volume deducted from the tip of the rising cavity.
