  • Patent number: 10677463
    Abstract: A system for improving fuel-air mixing inside an injection system of a turbomachine combustion chamber. An air intake ring has an annular deflection wall, or venturi, having an internal profile provided with a discontinuity inducing an increase in the radius (?) of the internal profile downstream of the discontinuity. A method of atomizing fuel includes separating fuel trickling over the internal profile of the annular deflection wall from the internal profile at the level of the discontinuity so as to form droplets within a flow of air coming from an upstream air circulation space of the air intake ring.

  • Patent number: 10371384
    Abstract: An assembly includes an injection system and an injector for an aircraft turbomachine combustion chamber. The system includes an aerodynamic bowl including a first end widening toward the downstream end and centered on a central axis of the injection system, this also including a central body along which a film of fuel is intended to flow in the downstream direction. The central body includes a second end widening toward the downstream end, the first and second widening ends between them delimiting an air through duct and the system includes motion inducing a device allowing a relative movement between the first widening end which is stationary and the second widening end, along the central axis of the injection system, by moving the central body relative to the injector.

  • Publication number: 20160153662
    Abstract: A deflection wall known as <<venturi>> is disclosed to improve the air fuel mix within an injection system installed in a turbomachine combustion chamber, having a downstream edge formed by the repetition of a pattern extending on each side of a virtual circle and formed from a plurality of bosses each of which is centred relative to a corresponding plane inclined by an angle ? from a corresponding median axial plane of the annular deflection wall passing through a corresponding end of the downstream edge of the annular deflection wall at the boss considered.
