Abstract: The fuel injection conduits in a multipoint device surrounding a so-called pilot central injection device include tubes of circumferential orientation. By separating the injection conduits from each other, it is possible to attribute to them different head losses which compensate the differences in length that the fuel has to travel: a uniform flow of fuel may be hoped for, for each of the injection holes. The tubes are individual but joined to form a crown that is unitary or composed of two almost symmetrical unitary portions, which lends itself well to manufacture by addition of material.

Abstract: An injection system for a turbomachine combustion chamber includes a swirler and a mixing bowl. The mixing bowl includes a converging frustoconical portion and a diverging frustoconical portion. The diverging frustoconical portion is connected to the converging frustoconical portion, forming a continuous aerodynamic profile with the converging frustoconical portion. The diverging frustoconical portion is passed through by vortex holes which each includes a circumferential component around a longitudinal axis of the injection system and an axial component along the longitudinal axis of the injection system.

Abstract: An injection system for a turbine engine annular combustion chamber includes a support configured to support and to center a fuel injector head. The support includes a frustoconical surface connected at its downstream end of smallest diameter to an upstream end of a cylindrical surface. The system further includes a bowl configured to mix air and fuel arranged downstream of the support and at least one axial swirl inducer extending at least in part around the support. Each swirl inducer includes vanes delimiting between them substantially axial channels for the passage of an air flow. The channels open at their upstream ends on said frustoconical surface.

Abstract: A combustion chamber for a turbomachine that includes a chamber end wall and a plurality of air and fuel injection systems distributed circumferentially about an axis of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber includes, associated with each injection system, a guide device for guiding an airflow including at least one wall mounted on the injection system and projecting in the upstream direction, one wall acting as an obstacle to a circumferential flow of air around the axis. The one wall of the guide device for guiding the airflow has a shape substantially defining a quarter of a spheroid the interior volume of which forms a guide scoop for guiding the airflow feeding the combustion chamber.

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.

The spark plug is situated circumferentially between two adjacent injection systems that are configured to produce two air/fuel mixture sheets rotating in opposite directions.

Abstract: In a fuel injection device at a base of a combustion chamber, a mixing air inlet screw is manufactured with its peripheral holes extending only over a sector of a circle directed towards the air's propagation cone, wherein the remainder of the periphery of the screw is closed. It is then possible to reduce load loss of the injection system while obtaining an improved quality of the mix supplied to the chamber. Such a device can be used in gas turbines fitted with centrifugal compressors and in which the air flow towards the combustion chamber must therefore be made convergent.
