1. A turbine engine, comprising: an air compression stage which comprises at least one movable compressor wheel,an air inlet duct which is coupled to said air compression stage,a first sealing device, which is arranged between a front portion of the movable compressor wheel and the air inlet duct, comprising at least one seal,a channel for conveying the air compressed by the movable wheel,a second sealing device, which is arranged between a rear portion of the movable compressor wheel and the conveying channel and is configured to receive an airflow coming from the conveying channel,wherein the second sealing device is configured to allow some of the air passing therethrough to be bled, the bleed air being conveyed to the at least one seal of the first sealing device so as to keep the at least one seal of the first sealing device under pressure,wherein the second sealing device comprises a front seal and a rear seal, the air being bled between the front seal and the rear seal of the second sealing device,wherein the rear seal of the second sealing device is configured such that the flow rate of bleed air is sufficient to keep the at least one seal of the first sealing device under pressure, andwherein the front seal of the second sealing device is configured so as to reduce the flow rate of air passing therethrough as much as possible so as to avoid disturbing the flow of air in a rear part of the movable compressor wheel onto which said front seal of the second sealing device opens. 2. The turbine engine according to claim 1, wherein the second device comprises at least one block of abradable material and a labyrinth seal which comprises an assembly of sealing strips which cooperate with the at least one block of abradable material. 3. The turbine engine according to claim 1, wherein the rear seal of the second device comprises between one and three sealing strips. 4. The turbine engine according to claim 1, wherein the front seal of the second device comprises at least two sealing strips. 5. The turbine engine according to claim 1, wherein the rear seal of the second sealing device and the front seal of the second sealing device are spaced apart by a distance which is greater than or equal to 2 mm, so as to form a pressurised air pocket in which the air can be bled in order to be conveyed to the seal of the first sealing device. 6. The turbine engine according to claim 1, said turbine engine comprising a second movable compressor wheel of which a front portion is connected to a rear portion of the first movable compressor wheel in the region of the second sealing device by a coupling, in which a passage is made, the air which is bled as the airflow passes through the second sealing device flowing through said passage before being conveyed towards the seal of the first device in order to keep the seal of the first sealing device under pressure. 7. A method for keeping at least one seal under pressure by bleeding air in a turbine engine, the turbine engine having: an air compression stage comprising at least one movable compressor wheel,an air inlet duct coupled to said air compression stage,a first sealing device, which is arranged between a front portion of the movable compressor wheel and the air inlet duct, comprising at least one seal,a channel for conveying the air compressed by the movable wheel,a second sealing device, which is arranged between a rear portion of the movable compressor wheel and the conveying channel and is configured to receive an airflow coming from the conveying channel,wherein the second sealing device comprises a front seal and a rear seal,the method comprising:bleeding some of the air passing through the second sealing device, the air being bled between the front seal and the rear seal of the second sealing device;conveying the air which is thus bled to the at least one seal of the first sealing device so as to keep the at least one seal of the first sealing device under pressure; and reducing the flow rate of air passing through the front seal of the second sealing device to avoid disturbing the flow of air in a rear part of the movable compressor wheel onto which said front seal of the second sealing device opens. 8. The turbine engine according to claim 3, wherein the rear seal of the second device comprises two sealing strips. 9. The turbine engine according to claim 4, wherein the front seal of the second device comprises four sealing strips. 10. The turbine engine according to claim 6, wherein said the front portion of the second movable compressor wheel is connected to the rear portion of the first movable compressor wheel in the region of the second sealing device by a curvic coupling.
