Patent number: 10156358Abstract: An annular wall for a combustion chamber of a turbomachine. The wall presents a hot side and a cold side and includes at least one primary hole for enabling a first flow of air flowing on the cold side of the wall to penetrate to the hot side of the wall to feed combustion of fuel inside the combustion chamber, and together with a plurality of cooling holes, each having a diameter no greater than 1 mm, to enable a second flow of air flowing on the cold side of the wall to penetrate to the hot side of the wall to cool the hot side of the wall. The plurality of cooling holes can also dilute combustion gas resulting from the combustion by using the flow of air penetrating to the hot side of the wall through the cooling holes.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2012Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: SAFRAN HELICOPTER ENGINESInventors: Nicolas Savary, Claude Berat, Guy Grienche, Patrick Berteau, Hubert Pascal Verdier

Publication number: 20180045413Abstract: A combustion chamber of a turbine engine, including at least one wall defining the combustion chamber and including an aperture for enabling a through-part to pass therethrough. The through-part includes, in the portion thereof located within the combustion chamber, at least one opening able to create an air film to cool the area downstream of the through-part.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2016Publication date: February 15, 2018Applicant: SAFRAN HELICOPTER ENGINESInventors: Olivier LAMAISON, Nicolas SAVARY

Patent number: 9677505Abstract: An air/fuel mixer system of a combustion chamber of a gas turbine includes at least one compressed air intake swirler, the swirler having a central axis of symmetry, and a fuel injector including an injection head having an axis of symmetry. Each injector is mounted in the corresponding swirler with aid of a guide mechanism, so that the axis of symmetry of the injection head is off-center with respect to the central axis of symmetry of the swirler. The system can reduce, or even eliminate, combustion instabilities, by injecting the fuel along a particular axis which is off-center relative to the axis of the air/fuel mixer system, inducing a flow of fuel which is no longer perfectly axially symmetrical.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: TURBOMECAInventors: Nicolas Savary, Claude Berat, Hubert Hippolyte Vignau, Christophe Nicolas Henri Viguier
