Patent number: 7584615Abstract: The after-burner device receives a “hot” central primary flow from the turbine of the turbojet and a “cold” peripheral secondary flow, and it has an after-burner ignition zone situated in the secondary flow that reaches the after-burner device. A fraction of the primary flow is brought into the after-burner ignition zone in order to raise the temperature in said zone to a value that is higher than that of the secondary flow so as to encourage after-burner ignition.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Sébastien Baboeuf, Sabine Charpenel, Eric Maingre, Alain Page, Jacques Roche

Patent number: 7287383Abstract: The invention relates to a burner ring for turbofan jet engines. The ring includes an upstream annular envelope which forms a channel which is open axially in the downstream direction, and a manifold for injecting fuel into the channel. The ring includes multiple sectors connected together. Each sector has a fuel inlet which is connected to the fuel injection manifold. Part of the upstream annular envelope is in the core flow. Each sector has a connector which receives the fuel inlet and a ventilation duct which extends through the channel and upstream of the injection manifold. Each sector is fitted with an inlet for a bypass air, which air is then emitted by the ventilation duct to cool the injection manifold. A sector of downstream annular envelope is arranged downstream of the injection manifold to protect this manifold.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: SNECMA MoteursInventors: Jacques Bunel, Jacques Roche, Bien-Aimé Rakotondrainibe, Stéphane Touchaud

Publication number: 20060016192Abstract: The turbojet of the invention includes a combustion chamber, a channel for heating the gas stream, where the heating channel includes at least one device for injection of fuel into the gas stream, which includes an open chamber, with a U-shaped section, having at least one wall within which extend fuel-injection means, which inject the fuel in at least one direction. It is characterised by the fact that a cooling jacket is provided in the chamber, alongside the wall forming the base of its U-section, and the fuel injection device includes protection means interposed between the fuel-injection means and the wall, in a fuel-injection direction. Thus, as a result of the invention, the fuel injection device, which is bathed in a very hot environment, is protected against thermal shocks due to the projection of colder fuel onto its walls, and its life expectancy is therefore increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: SNECMAInventors: Jacques Bunel, Jacques Roche, Alain Page
