Abstract

A turbomachine includes a casing, a rotor, and a plurality of cooled ring segments installed between the casing and the rotor, each ring segment containing a main cooling cavity and being attached to the casing by a fastening device. The fastening device can include a clamping screw positioned more or less radially and pinning the ring segment against the casing. The clamping screw is crossed through by a cooling airway that communicates with the main cooling cavity of the ring segment.
