Patent number: 7367191Abstract: Device for fixing a burner ring onto flameholder arms (14) in an afterburner combustion chamber of a turbojet engine, the burner ring being formed of ring sectors (12) placed more or less end to end and the ends of which are housed and guided between two circumferentially-directed parallel plates (34, 36) of the flameholder arms (14) and are immobilized between these plates (34, 36) by locking pieces (52) which are themselves held between the plates (34, 36) by immobilizing means (54, 56) engaged in aligned orifices (58, 60, 64) in the plates (34, 36) and in the locking pieces (52).Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2005Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Jacques Bunel, Jacques Roche

Patent number: 7287383Abstract: The invention relates to a burner ring for turbofan jet engines. The ring includes an upstream annular envelope which forms a channel which is open axially in the downstream direction, and a manifold for injecting fuel into the channel. The ring includes multiple sectors connected together. Each sector has a fuel inlet which is connected to the fuel injection manifold. Part of the upstream annular envelope is in the core flow. Each sector has a connector which receives the fuel inlet and a ventilation duct which extends through the channel and upstream of the injection manifold. Each sector is fitted with an inlet for a bypass air, which air is then emitted by the ventilation duct to cool the injection manifold. A sector of downstream annular envelope is arranged downstream of the injection manifold to protect this manifold.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: SNECMA MoteursInventors: Jacques Bunel, Jacques Roche, Bien-Aimé Rakotondrainibe, Stéphane Touchaud

Publication number: 20060016194Abstract: A device for fastening a fluid duct such as a fuel duct in an orifice of a turbojet casing, the device comprising a ring screwed into the orifice of the casing and having an annular rim coming to bear against a washer at the end of the duct, and a nut screwed onto the end of the duct so as to clamp the annular rim of the ring against the washer of the duct in order to fasten the duct to the casing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: SNECMA MOTEURSInventors: Jacques Roche, Jacques Bunel, Frederic Ruellan, Philippe Henry

Publication number: 20060016192Abstract: The turbojet of the invention includes a combustion chamber, a channel for heating the gas stream, where the heating channel includes at least one device for injection of fuel into the gas stream, which includes an open chamber, with a U-shaped section, having at least one wall within which extend fuel-injection means, which inject the fuel in at least one direction. It is characterised by the fact that a cooling jacket is provided in the chamber, alongside the wall forming the base of its U-section, and the fuel injection device includes protection means interposed between the fuel-injection means and the wall, in a fuel-injection direction. Thus, as a result of the invention, the fuel injection device, which is bathed in a very hot environment, is protected against thermal shocks due to the projection of colder fuel onto its walls, and its life expectancy is therefore increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: SNECMAInventors: Jacques Bunel, Jacques Roche, Alain Page

Publication number: 20050086941Abstract: The invention relates to an afterburner ring 19 for turbofan jet engines. The ring comprises an upstream annular envelope which forms a channel which is open axially in the downstream direction, and a manifold 4 for injecting fuel into the channel. The ring has sectors 20 which each comprise a sector 1 of the upstream annular envelope. Each sector 1 has a fuel inlet 35 which is connected to the injection manifold 4. Part of the upstream annular envelope is in the core flow. Each sector 20 has a connecting means which receives the fuel inlet and a ventilation duct 2 which extends through the channel along the sector 1, at a point upstream of the injection manifold 4. Each sector 1 is fitted with an inlet for bypass air, which air is then emitted by the ventilation duct 2 to cool the injection manifold 4. A sector 5 of downstream annular envelope is arranged downstream of the injection manifold 4 to protect it.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2004Publication date: April 28, 2005Applicant: SNECMA MOTEURSInventors: Jacques Bunel, Jacques Roche, Bien-Aime Rakotondrainibe, Stephane Touchaud
