This in turn results in the distribution of the air-fuel ratio does not have the desired homogeneity at the nozzle outlet because the primary Airflow that is primarily involved in the mixing process is less than that secondary airflow is.
  • An injection device for a combustion chamber is known from GB 2 272 756 A, which comprises an atomizer, several channels and a premixing section, the First of all, fuel to the guiding elements surrounding the channels with atomizer lips atomized and then in the premixing section with the air streams the channels that open into the premixing section are mixed.

Regardless of a mixture of the two streams, the swirl number of the Air flow can be varied to a detached or a wall-to-wall Set the flow state in the combustion chamber.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un brûleur destiné aux chambres de combustion (2) de turbines à gaz et doté d'une buse (3) pour pulvériser le combustible dans l'air de combustion. Ledit brûleur comprend deux canaux (4,5) d'écoulement, un canal primaire et un canal secondaire. L'invention vise à obtenir, pour ce type de brûleurs utilisés essentiellement dans les moteurs d'avion, une répartition largement uniforme du mélange air-combustible dans la chambre de combustion afin de réduire les émissions. Les canaux (4,5) d'écoulement débouchant dans la chambre de combustion (11) sont séparés par un premier élément (6) disposé de façon concentrique par rapport à l'axe (A) du brûleur et doté d'une lèvre (8) de pulvérisation en forme de douille, de profil cylindrique ou conique. Le canal secondaire (4) extérieur est délimité vers l'extérieur et radialement par un deuxième élément (7) concentrique, de forme annulaire, doté d'une paroi (14) intérieure de profil convergent-divergent. Le deuxième élément (7) forme un espace (Q) caractérisé par la plus faible section de passage, sur la hauteur axiale de laquelle ou bien en amont, débouche la lèvre (8) de pulvérisation du premier composant (6) disposé à l'intérieur, de façon radiale. Le flux d'air (L) s'écoulant dans les deux canaux (4,5) présente une torsion similaire. En plaçant la lèvre (8) de pulvérisation au niveau de la plus petite section d'écoulement de la buse de pulvérisation ou juste en deçà, on obtient une pulvérisation du combustible située dans une plage d'efforts de cisaillement maximaux de l'air et donc une pulvérisation optimale.
