  • Patent number: 9599342
    Abstract: An annular wall for an annular turbine engine combustion chamber, including one annular row of dilution orifices including larger area orifices and smaller area orifices, and a multi-perforation formed from micro-perforations distributed as an upstream row, a downstream row, and at least one intermediate row interrupted by the orifices, a geometric ratio being defined as the quotient obtained by dividing the maximum spacing L between any two points on the edge of the orifice measured along a direction parallel to an axis of the wall by the maximum spacing l between any two points on the edge of this orifice measured along a direction perpendicular to the axis, the geometric ratio of the larger area orifices being greater than or equal to 1, and the geometric ratio of the smaller area orifices being greater than the geometric ratio of the larger area orifices.

  • Patent number: 9091445
    Abstract: A turbine engine combustion chamber including at least one ignition sparkplug carried by an outer casing and extending through a guide mechanism carried by a wall forming a body of revolution of the chamber. The guide mechanism includes a tubular guide having the sparkplug passing axially therethrough, which guide is mounted with axial and transverse clearance on a chimney fastened to the wall of the chamber and opening out therein. The guide includes an annular collar engaged with clearance in an internal annular groove of the chimney. The annular collar is urged to press against a wall of the groove by a resilient member mounted in the groove.

  • Patent number: 8875484
    Abstract: A turbomachine combustion chamber including at least one ignition plug carried by an outer casing and extending within guide means carried by a wall of the chamber, the wall forming a body of revolution. The guide means includes a tubular guide having the plug passing axially therethrough and mounted with axial and transverse clearance on a chimney fastened to the wall of the chamber and opening out into the chamber, the guide extending at least in part in an air flow stream outside the chamber. The guide means includes a deflector surrounding the portion of the guide that is situated in the air flow stream so as to reduce the aerodynamic pressure on the guide and reduce the contact pressure of the guide on the plug.

  • Publication number: 20110113747
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine combustion chamber including at least one ignition plug carried by an outer casing and extending within guide means carried by a wall of the chamber, said wall forming a body of revolution, and including a tubular guide having the plug passing axially therethrough and mounted with axial and transverse clearance on a chimney fastened to the wall of the chamber and opening out into the chamber, the guide extending at least in part in an air flow stream outside the chamber. The guide means comprise a deflector surrounding the portion of the guide that is situated in the air flow stream so as to reduce the aerodynamic pressure on the guide and reduce the contact pressure of the guide on the plug.

  • Publication number: 20110113748
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine combustion chamber including at least one ignition spark plug carried by an outer casing and extending in guide means carried by a wall of the chamber, the wall forming a body of revolution, the guide means comprising a tubular guide having the spark plug passing axially therethrough and mounted with axial and transverse clearance on a chimney fastened to the wall of the chamber and opening out into the chamber. In order to reduce wear of the spark plug in operation, the spark plug is mounted by being fastened in a sheath, the tubular guide being slidably mounted around the sheath.

  • Patent number: 7231708
    Abstract: In a method for marking a fuse in order to allow for the rapid visual identification of certain characteristics of that fuse, the fuse is provided with: a first color-coded visual indicia indicative of an amperage rating of the fuse; a second color-coded visual indicia indicative of an action value of the fuse; and/or a third color-coded visual indicia indicative of a voltage rating of the fuse.
