Definitions
- the invention relates to a turbojet afterburner chamber and relates more particularly to an improvement of the ignition system of said afterburner.
- Post-combustion is used in military aircraft to rapidly increase the engine thrust and consequently the speed of the aircraft when flight conditions require it.
- US Patent 5,396,761 describes a post combustion chamber comprising a plurality of radially extending burners, one of which is equipped with an ignition system comprising a candle associated with an injector. The latter has orifices oriented away from the spark plug so that ignition is not ensured for all operating conditions of the reactor.
- US Pat. No. 3,931,707 discloses a post-combustion chamber equipped with a burner ring which comprises a plurality of nozzles delivering fuel upstream of a ring of stationary vanes where the fuel mixes with air entering the the ring by a slot downstream. A candle can ignite this fuel. However, there is nothing to control the vaporization of the fuel so that the mixture ignites under all flight conditions.
- the invention applies to an adjacent type of combustion chamber equipped with an annular burner and a spark plug capable of generating sparks for the ignition of the post combustion.
- the end of the candle is placed opposite a point of an annular fuel distribution ramp.
- the pressure and the fuel injection temperature in the ramp may be too high. weak or too variable. We can not directly intervene on the injection pressure in the annular ramp. Therefore, the ignition is uncertain and sometimes the post combustion does not trigger, without necessarily incriminating the operation of the candle.
- the invention solves this problem.
- the invention relates to a post-combustion chamber comprising an annular fuel injection ramp and a spark plug mounted in the vicinity of said annular ramp, characterized in that an ignition injector is installed opposite of said spark plug and is connected to specific fuel supply means capable of delivering said fuel under a controlled pressure independent of the supply conditions of said annular ramp.
- the specific ignition injector fed by a fuel source different from that which feeds the burner and spraying fuel for a few seconds opposite the spark plug ensures the ignition of the afterburner.
- the specific power source of the ignition injector can be stopped until the next post-combustion trigger.
- the spark plug emits several sparks per second until ignition.
- the ignition period lasts a few seconds, for example between three and ten seconds.
- the injector is provided with a special nozzle which vaporizes the jet in very fine particles smaller than fifty microns.
- annular ramp is mounted in a burner ring
- said injector protrudes inside this ring at the back of the candle.
- a post-combustion chamber there is a classically distinguished internal hot primary stream where the gases delivered by the turbine flow and a secondary colder external stream separated from the primary stream by a ferrule.
- the injector and the spark plug are housed in a protective sleeve attached to an outer casing, commonly called a heat sink and opening into said burner ring.
- This protective sheath isolates the ignition system from said hot primary stream.
- the protective sheath advantageously comprises ventilation orifices communicating with the cold secondary flow. In this way, cold air circulates continuously inside the protective sleeve to keep the ignition system at an acceptable temperature.
- FIG. 1 to 4 there is shown a portion of the afterburner chamber 11 of a turbojet engine 12 downstream of the turbine (not shown) in the X'X axis thereof.
- the casing 14 of the post combustion chamber is connected by bolting to the end of a diffuser housing 16, also called a heating cover.
- An inner exhaust casing 18 is connected to an ejection cone 19 extending axially in the central part of said diffuser housing 16.
- a ferrule 20 which separates and channels the primary gas flow F 1 , indoor and secondary F 2 , outdoor.
- the primary flow F 1 of the gases from the turbine is at high temperature while the secondary flow F 2 from the compressor is relatively low temperature and allows to cool the structural elements of the post-combustion chamber.
- An inner liner 22 carried by the casing 14 defines the afterburner chamber downstream of a combustion system 25 essentially comprising a burner ring 26 and radial arms 27 extending from the burner ring towards the inside of the combustion chamber. the post-combustion chamber to the vicinity of the axis X'X thereof.
- the jacket 22 and the casing 14 define between them an annular cooling channel 28 extending all around the post-combustion chamber 11.
- the radial arms 27 are nine in number, regularly distributed circumferentially.
- Each arm has a V-shaped section whose wings diverge rearwardly and form two rectilinear sprayed fuel ejection ramps, constituting a so-called "flame-holder" structure.
- Each arm has in its outermost radial part an aerodynamically profiled element 30, through which it is connected to the casing 16. This element makes it possible to channel the secondary flow, in particular towards the annular cooling channel 28.
- These arms, intended to maintain the combustion in the center of the post-combustion chamber are of conventional design and are not concerned by the invention; they will not be described in more detail.
- the burner ring 26 of the afterburner system 25 is substantially of revolution about the axis X'X; it is carried by the elements 30.
- the burner ring opens rearwardly between the arms 27 and the inner liner 22.
- the rearward opening portion has a V-shaped section in a radial plane passing through the X'X axis.
- the burner ring 26 houses an annular fuel injection ramp 34 comprising an internal spraying tube 36, pierced with a plurality of very small diameter holes 35 and extending inside a protective tube 38 (FIG. pierced with holes of relatively large diameter regularly spaced circumferentially) forming anti-radiation shield for the thermal protection of the spray tube.
- the holes 35 of the spraying tube 36 coincide with the holes of the protective tube 38.
- the annular ramp 34 extends over substantially the entire circumference of the burner ring 26. In known manner, said burner ring is supplied with fuel by a conduit 40 connected to a main fuel supply source, not shown.
- a spark plug 42 is conventionally installed in the vicinity of the annular spray bar 34. It is slidably engaged in a sleeve 43 which has a flange 44 which is itself sliding in the nozzle. defined space between the outer wall of the burner ring 26 and a frame 45 welded thereto, around the hole through which the end of the candle enters said burner ring.
- an ignition injector 48 is installed opposite said spark plug 42 and is connected to specific fuel supply means capable of delivering said fuel under a controlled pressure independent of the supply conditions of said annular ramp.
- Injector 48 is itself specific because it is fed by a special fuel source (not shown) by a particular conduit 49.
- the spray nozzle of the injector 48 which protrudes into the burner ring, is slidably engaged in a sleeve 47 which has a flange 50 which itself slides in the space defined between the wall of the burner ring ( at the front thereof) and a frame 51 welded thereto around the hole through which said tip enters the burner ring.
- the specific injector 48 is here of the aeromechanical type. It is equipped with a fine fuel spraying nozzle, capable of delivering particles smaller than fifty microns. The injector is placed so that the end of the spark plug 42 (where the spark occurs) is in the spray cone 54 of the injector.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a variant in which the burner ring 26a is disposed in the hot primary flow F 1 (which depends on the general design of the reactor).
- the structural elements similar to those previously described bear the same reference numerals. They will not be described again. Due to the location of the burner ring, it is intended to protect the ignition system (specific injector 48a and candle 42a) in a protective sleeve 60 fixed to the housing 16 and communicating with the burner ring. The sheath 60 thus crosses the secondary flow F2.
- the protective sheath has ventilation orifices 62 communicating with the cold secondary flow.
- the inside of the sheath is constantly traversed by a stream of cold air.
- a heat shield 64 is also placed between the injector and the end of the spark plug. It has a passage 65 facing the spray orifice of the specific injector.
- An annular ventilation box 66 is installed inside the burner ring 26a.
- the fuel is injected into the burner ring 26 and the arms 27 and, simultaneously but with different pressure conditions, a small amount of additional fuel is injected through the injector 48.
- the spark produced by the spark plug 42 is created in the spray cone of the injector, which causes the ignition of the fuel injected by the specific injector, then that of the fuel delivered along the burner ring and arms.
