  • Patent number: 5899388
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injector of tricoaxial structure comprising a body that is circularly symmetrical about an axis of symmetry, said body being provided with a plurality of injection elements having axes parallel to said axis of symmetry and passing through an injection wall fixed to said body and separating said injector from a combustion member to which it is coupled. According to the invention, each of said injection elements comprises a central injection channel fed with a second propellant and an annular injection slot surrounding said central channel and fed with a first propellant, an additional annular injection channel for the second propellant being formed by a space that exists around each injection element between its side wall and said injection wall, such that the sheet of first propellant flowing from said annular slot is engaged between the central jet and the outer sheet, each of which delivers the second propellant.

  • Patent number: 5603213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a parallel-sheet injector provided with a body about an axis to which there is coaxially connected at least one annular injection element comprising a central annular injection slit surrounded by two other annular injection slits. The central annular slit is fed with a second propellant which enters at the top of the injection element level with said central slit and the other annular slits are fed with a first propellant which enters at the base of the injection element, on either side of the central slit, and passes through an annular homogenization cavity from which it flows towards the annular slits surrounding the central injection slit. The invention also relates to injection elements which may be used within the scope of this injector.
