An axial compressor for a turbomachine is fitted with a device for centripetally bleeding turbine-cooling air. The compressor includes at least two rings of blades, an outer shroud having holes, and a fixed ring of stator vanes placed in the stream between the moving rings of blades. The holes are inlets for the bleed device, opening out into an annular groove beneath the interstice separating the inner platforms of the stator vanes from the rim of the upstream disk. The groove is fitted with fixed air guide devices to impart a centripetal swirling motion to the air flowing therein in the same direction as the compressor so as to reduce the velocity of the air relative to the rotating holes.

1. An axial compressor for a turbomachine, the compressor being fitted with a device for centripetally bleeding turbine-cooling air from a stream of air flowing through said compressor, said compressor comprising two rings of moving blades extending radially outward from peripheries of two consecutive disks joined together by an outer shroud having holes, and further comprising a fixed ring of stator vanes placed in the stream between said moving rings of blades, said holes serving as air inlets to said bleed device and opening out into an annular groove provided beneath an interstice separating inner platforms of the stator vanes from a rim of the upstream disk, said groove communicating with said stream via said interstice, wherein the groove is fitted with fixed air guide means imparting centripetal swirling motion on the air flowing in said groove, the motion rotating in the same direction as the compressor so as to reduce a velocity of the air entering into the holes relative to said rotating holes.2. A compressor according to claim 1, wherein said guide means are disposed at least in part beneath the inner platforms of the stator vanes.3. A compressor according to claim 2, wherein said air guide means in the groove comprise a plurality of guide profiles regularly distributed around the axis of rotation of said compressor.4. A compressor according to claim 3, wherein the leading edges of the guide profiles extend at least in part into the interstice.5. A compressor according to claim 4, wherein the angle of incidence of the profiles is determined as a function of the local tangential velocity and radial velocity of the air passing through the interstice.6. A compressor according to claim 1, wherein the bleed device comprises bleed channels formed in the upstream disk.7. A compressor according to claim 1, wherein the guide means are disposed substantially underneath an upstream portion of the inner platforms and fixed to said upstream portion.8. A compressor according to claim 1, wherein a reduction in relative total temperature of the bleed air is about 40° C.9. A compressor according to claim 1, wherein an absolute velocity of the air leaving the guide means is substantially directed tangentially to a periphery of the outer shroud.10. A compressor according to claim 9, wherein the absolute velocity is substantially equal to an absolute velocity of the disk rim.11. A compressor according to claim 5, wherein a velocity of the air in the groove is substantially unaltered.12. A compressor having a device configured to centripetally bleed turbine-cooling air from an air stream flowing there through, the compressor comprising:an upstream ring of rotor blades and a downstream ring of rotor blades, both rings extending radially outward from peripheries of two consecutive upstream and downstream disks, respectively, joined together by an outer shroud having bleed air inlet holes; a fixed ring of stator vanes placed between the upstream and downstream rings of rotor blades; an annular groove provided beneath an interstice separating an inner platform of the stator vanes from a rim of the upstream disk, the air inlet holes opening out into the annular groove and the groove communicating with the air stream via the interstice; and stationary air guide vanes fitted to the annular groove and disposed adjacent to the upstream disk substantially underneath an upstream portion of the inner platform of the stator vanes, the stationary air guide vanes being configured to impart a centripetal swirling motion to the bleed air in the same direction as a compressor rotation direction so as to reduce a velocity of the air entering into the holes relative to the rotating holes. 13. A compressor according to claim 12, wherein the stationary air guide vanes comprise a plurality of guide profiles regularly distributed around the axis of rotation of said compressor.14. A compressor according to claim 13, wherein the leading edges of the guide profiles extend at least in part into the interstice.15. A compressor according to claim 14, wherein an angle of incidence of the profiles is determined as a function of a local tangential velocity and a radial velocity of the air passing through the interstice.16. A compressor according to claim 12, wherein a reduction in relative total temperature of the bleed air is about 40° C.17. A compressor according to claim 12, wherein an absolute velocity of the air leaving the stationary air guide vanes is substantially directed tangentially to a periphery of the outer shroud.18. A compressor according to claim 17, wherein the absolute velocity is substantially equal to an absolute velocity of the disk rim.19. A compressor according to claim 15, wherein a velocity of the air in the groove is substantially unaltered.
