  • Patent number: 11698188
    Abstract: A flat-jet fuel injector for an aircraft turbine engine, comprising a body having a generally elongate shape having a longitudinal axis A, the body comprising a main pipe having a generally elongate shape having a longitudinal axis B substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, the two longitudinal ends of the main pipe being connected directly and respectively to longitudinal ends of two secondary pipes having a generally elongate shape having a longitudinal axis C at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis A, and being configured to form, respectively, two separate fuel flow inlets intended to meet substantially at the middle of the main pipe which comprises at least one ejection slot for ejecting the fuel jet, wherein at least one of the main and secondary pipes defines a flow area, at least one geometric parameter of which, such as the shape or a dimension, varies along the pipe and/or is different from the same geometric parameter defined by a flow area of another of the pipes.

  • Publication number: 20100068666
    Abstract: Burner comprising at least one passage for injecting at least a primary jet, such as a jet of oxidant and/or fuel and/or of a premix of oxidant and fuel, and means of injecting at least one secondary jet of fluid opening into said passage, the interaction between the primary jet and the at least one secondary jet making it possible to vary the direction and/or the size of the flame. Use of said burner for heating a charge with the variable-direction and/or variable-size flame.

  • Publication number: 20100032020
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for injecting at least one jet of fluid, in which the direction and/or opening of at least one of the jets may be variable, comprising means of injecting at least one main fluid jet, means for injecting at least one secondary fluid jet, and means for causing at least one main fluid jet to interact with at least one secondary fluid jet and producing a fluid jet resulting from this interaction whose direction and/or opening are variable; as well as the associated method; and the uses of these.
