  • Patent number: 11873783
    Abstract: A confluence structure of an aircraft bypass turbine engine which includes a confluence plate with a downstream end supported by a portion that is movable in the direction of the axis by a control mechanism which can optionally be adjusted in flight. A mobile portion of a sleeve delimiting the secondary stream on the outside, and an inner projection of the outer casing can also slide axially in certain embodiments. This provides a wide range of options for modifying the gas dilution and operating conditions of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20220275941
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for an aircraft turbomachine includes an annular chamber end wall structure, an annular row of main injection systems mounted in the chamber end wall structure and configured to deliver a sheet of fuel, including a central recirculation region and a corner recirculation region around the central recirculation region, and secondary injection systems each configured to inject an additional flow of air and fuel directly into a corresponding corner recirculation region.

  • Patent number: 10139110
    Abstract: A turbomachine combustion chamber, comprises a fuel injector nozzle and an injection system. The injection system comprises a sliding traverse, means for maintaining the sliding traverse and a supporting sole for the sliding traverse. The injection system comprises means for recalling the sliding traverse configured to stress the supporting sole against axial displacements of the sliding traverse relatively to the means for maintaining. The outer connection surface of the injector nozzle and/or at least one portion of the internal centring surface of the sliding traverse narrow in the downstream direction, in such a way as to retain the injector nozzle relatively to the sliding traverse axially in the downstream direction.

  • Patent number: 9765970
    Abstract: A combustion chamber module for an aircraft turbomachine, including an annular combustion chamber in which each of primary and dilution ports of an outer annular wall, which is located at least partly in a wake of a fuel injector, has a discharge coefficient higher than that of its homologous port of an inner annular wall. A method for designing such a module includes determining wakes generated by fuel injectors, and then geometrically defining air inlet ports of coaxial walls of the combustion chamber such that an air flow rate actually entering through ports of the outer wall is substantially equal to an air flow rate entering through ports of the inner wall.

  • Patent number: 9413141
    Abstract: A spark plug for combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine including: an external body forming ground electrode, intended to be received mainly in a bypass of the combustion chamber; an internal central electrode; and an interposed insulator with clearance between the external body and the internal electrode, is provided. The spark plug terminates in a nose forming portion to be received in the flame tube of the chamber of the combustion chamber, and a semi-conductor element being interposed between the central electrode and the ground electrode at the level of said nose forming portion. The external body includes at least one cooling air inlet which communicates inside the spark plug with at least one outlet arranged at the level of the nose forming portion.
