  • Patent number: 11846420
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for a turbomachine including an annular casing delimiting an inner volume of the combustion chamber and provided with a chimney extending to the outside of the inner volume and delimiting a passage for a penetrating part, and a bushing mounted floating on the chimney, further includes: a main air collection chamber open to the upstream arranged facing the downstream portion of the chimney; and a through-opening of the annular casing, connecting the inner volume to the main air collection chamber. The air collected by the main air collection chamber is injected into the inner volume via the through-opening and can cool an annular casing zone downstream of the chimney.

  • 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: 11009231
    Abstract: To improve air/fuel mixing at low speed, the invention concerns an aerodynamic injection system (30) for a combustion chamber (8) of an aircraft turbine engine, the system comprising a central body (70) comprising a first air circulation space (72) and a swirler (74) allowing air to penetrate into the first air circulation space (72), the hollow body (70) also comprising a fuel circuit (92, 93, 82) arranged at least partially around the first space (72), the circuit comprising a second annular space (82) for a fuel film to circulate and fuel supply structures (92, 93) communicating with the second space (82), the spaces (72, 82) opening into a third air and fuel mixing space (86). According to the invention, the system comprises fuel injection openings (90) that bring the fuel circuit into communication with the first space (72).

  • Patent number: 10094572
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for an aircraft turbomachine includes an annular chamber end wall and an annular row of injection systems mounted in the annular chamber end wall. Each injection system includes at least one air inlet swirler and a main fuel injection nozzle to output a fuel stream centered on an injection axis and including a central recirculation zone and a corner recirculation zone extending as an annulus around the central recirculation zone chamber. The combustion chamber also includes a plurality of additional fuel injection devices mounted in the chamber end wall to inject fuel directly into the corresponding corner recirculation zones produced by the corresponding injection systems at an operating speed less than or equal to the idling speed.
