  • Patent number: 6820425
    Abstract: A system for injecting an air/fuel mixture into a combustion chamber of a turbomachine, the system having an injector comprising: an axial internal volume opening out at one end via an axial outlet for the air/fuel mixture; a first fuel feed stage having a plurality of first fuel feed orifices which open out into the internal volume, which are distributed around an axis of the injector, and which are connected by fuel feed channels to an inlet for admitting fuel into the injector; and at least one air feed channel which opens out into the internal volume and which is connected to an inlet for admitting air into the injector. The injector further comprises at least one second fuel feed stage with a plurality of second fuel feed orifices which open out into the internal volume, which are distributed around the axis of the injector, and which are connected to said inlet for admitting fuel into the injector via fuel feed channels which coincide at least in part with the fuel feed channels of said first stage.

  • Publication number: 20020189260
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for a gas turbine made up of outer and inner side walls, the combustion chamber being received in a casing so as to define an annular space between the combustion chamber and the casing in which there flows air for combustion, for dilution, and for cooling the combustion chamber, the side walls of the combustion chamber being pierced by a plurality of holes in which bushings of substantially elliptical right section are fixed to define air injection passages for injecting air into the combustion chamber, each bushing having a peripheral wall in which at least one additional orifice is formed opening out into the combustion chamber in the immediate vicinity of the side wall of the combustion chamber in which said bushing is fixed so that the air passing through said orifice flows substantially along said peripheral wall, the peripheral wall of each bushing having at least one groove opening out into the annular space and into which the or each orifice opens out so as to be fed with air and
