  • Patent number: 11788727
    Abstract: An injector nose for a turbomachine includes a primary fuel circuit ending in a fuel-ejection nozzle, and a secondary fuel circuit including an annular-shaped terminal fuel-ejection part arranged around the fuel-ejection nozzle. An upstream part of the primary fuel circuit includes an annular channel, which extends around the secondary fuel circuit and is defined by an external wall of the injector nose. The injector nose includes air intake channels extending through the annular channel and having inlets opening into the external wall and outlets opening into an annular air injection channel arranged radially to the inside in relation to the terminal fuel-ejection part, around the fuel-ejection nozzle, and cooperating with the terminal fuel-ejection part in order to form an aerodynamic secondary injector.

  • Patent number: 11168886
    Abstract: An injector nose for a turbomachine includes a primary fuel circuit terminated by a fuel ejection nozzle defining an injection axis (44), and a secondary fuel circuit (64) comprising a secondary fuel swirler (114) formed of swirler channels (112) opening into a terminal fuel ejection portion (68) of annular shape arranged around the fuel ejection nozzle. Each swirler channel (112) has a passage section which decreases in a direction going from an upstream end (111) to a downstream end (115) of the swirler channel (112). The reduction of the passage section of the swirler channels (112) makes it possible to increase the head loss between the inlet and the outlet of the secondary fuel swirler (114) and thus notably to accelerate the fuel within the secondary fuel swirler, while allowing lower fuel flow rates.

  • Patent number: 10888101
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sugar confectionery composition comprising an alcohol-containing phase and a sweet-containing phase, wherein the composition, when set, is in the form of a single-phase amorphous mass. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a sugar confectionery composition, comprising steps of: preparing an alcohol-containing phase at a first temperature; preparing a sweet-containing phase at a second temperature; incorporating one of the two phases into another to form a mixture; setting the mixture to form the composition; wherein, when set, the composition is in the form of a single-phase amorphous mass.

  • Patent number: 4865690
    Abstract: Process for improving the quality of deinked papermaking pulps obtained by ecycling waste printed papers, in which:the papers are converted into a slush pulp (1),most of the ink (12) is removed (11) from this slush pulp, especially by selective primary flotation of the ink, andthe deinked pulp is washed (5) to remove the residual ink before being conveyed into the circuit (14) for utilization of the pulp,wherein the waters (24) from this washing (5) are first of all subjected to a selective secondary flotation (16) to remove (17) only the residual ink therefrom, the suspension of the remaining matter (fibers and fillers) (18-23) being subsequently mixed with the pulp (15) originating from the washing (5).The invention also relates to a plant for making use of this process.

  • Patent number: 4017036
    Abstract: This invention is concerned with providing means which control the linear speed of a web travelling from a source of that web to a take-up spool and is particularly associated with ensuring that the linear speed of travel of the web from the one source to the take-up is maintained constant. The invention therefore has application to the textile trade where a web of textile material may be passed through a dye bath and it is desirable to ensure that all parts of the web are immersed in the dye bath for the same length of time.The invention includes means for sensing the speed of travel of the web and comparing it against a known reference speed and by comparing the two speeds providing a positive or negative signal which is fed to apparatus which then increases or reduces the speed of travel of the web in order to maintain it constant.
