Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général des chambres de combustion de turbomachine. Elle vise plus particulièrement une paroi annulaire pour chambre de combustion refroidie par un procédé dit de « multiperforation ».The present invention relates to the general field of turbomachine combustion chambers. It relates more particularly to an annular wall for combustion chamber cooled by a so-called "multiperforation" process.
Typiquement, une chambre de combustion annulaire de turbomachine est formée d'une paroi annulaire interne et d'une paroi annulaire externe qui sont reliées en amont par une paroi transversale formant fond de chambre.Typically, an annular turbomachine combustion chamber is formed of an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall which are connected upstream by a transverse wall forming a chamber bottom.
Les parois interne et externe sont chacune pourvues d'une pluralité de trous et d'orifices divers permettant à de l'air circulant autour de la chambre de combustion de pénétrer à l'intérieur de celle-ci.The inner and outer walls are each provided with a plurality of holes and various orifices allowing air circulating around the combustion chamber to penetrate inside thereof.
Ainsi, des trous dits « primaires » et « de dilution » sont formés dans ces parois pour acheminer de l'air à l'intérieur de la chambre de combustion. L'air empruntant les trous primaires contribue à créer un mélange air/carburant qui est brûlé dans la chambre, tandis que l'air provenant des trous de dilution est destiné à favoriser la dilution de ce même mélange air/carburant.Thus, so-called "primary" and "dilution" holes are formed in these walls to convey air inside the combustion chamber. The air passing through the primary holes helps to create an air / fuel mixture that is burned in the chamber, while the air from the dilution holes is intended to promote the dilution of the same air / fuel mixture.
Les parois interne et externe, qui sont généralement métalliques, sont soumises aux températures élevées des gaz provenant de la combustion du mélange air/carburant. Afin d'assurer leur refroidissement, des orifices supplémentaires dits de multiperforation sont également percés au travers des parois sur toute leur surface. Ces orifices de multiperforation permettent à l'air circulant à l'extérieur de la chambre de pénétrer à l'intérieur de celle-ci en formant le long des parois des films d'air de refroidissement.The inner and outer walls, which are generally metallic, are subject to the high temperatures of the gases from the combustion of the air / fuel mixture. To ensure their cooling, additional holes called multiperforation holes are also drilled through the walls over their entire surface. These multiperforation holes allow the air circulating outside the chamber to penetrate inside thereof by forming along the walls of the cooling air films.
En pratique, il a été constaté que la zone des parois interne et externe qui est située directement en aval de chacun des trous primaires et de dilution bénéficie d'un faible niveau refroidissement avec le risque de formation de criques que cela implique.In practice, it has been found that the area of the inner and outer walls which is located directly downstream of each of the primary and dilution holes has a low cooling level with the risk of formation of cracks that implies.
Afin de résoudre ce problème, le document
La présente invention a donc pour but principal de pallier de tels inconvénients en proposant une paroi annulaire de chambre de combustion munie de perçages supplémentaires destinés à refroidir les zones situées directement en aval des trous primaires et de dilution.The main object of the present invention is therefore to overcome such drawbacks by proposing an annular wall of a combustion chamber provided with additional bores intended to cool the zones situated directly downstream of the primary and dilution holes.
A cet effet, il est prévu une paroi annulaire de chambre de combustion de turbomachine, comportant un côté froid et un côté chaud, la paroi étant munie d'une pluralité de trous primaires et de trous de dilution pour permettre à de l'air circulant du côté froid de la paroi de pénétrer du côté chaud afin d'assurer respectivement la combustion et la dilution d'un mélange air/carburant, les trous primaires et les trous de dilution étant répartis selon des rangées circonférentielles, et d'une pluralité d'orifices de refroidissement pour permettre à l'air circulant du côté froid de la paroi de pénétrer du côté chaud afin de former un film d'air de refroidissement le long de ladite paroi, les orifices de refroidissement étant répartis selon une pluralité de rangées circonférentielles espacées axialement les unes des autres, le nombre d'orifices de refroidissement étant identique dans chaque rangée, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte en outre une pluralité de perçages disposés directement en aval des trous primaires et des trous de dilution et répartis selon des rangées circonférentielles, les perçages d'une même rangée présentant un diamètre sensiblement identique, étant espacé d'un pas constant et présentant des caractéristiques intrinsèques différentes de celles des orifices de refroidissement des rangées adjacentes.For this purpose, there is provided an annular wall of a turbomachine combustion chamber, having a cold side and a hot side, the wall being provided with a plurality of primary holes and dilution holes to allow circulating air the cold side of the wall to enter the hot side to respectively provide combustion and dilution of an air / fuel mixture, the primary holes and the dilution holes being distributed in circumferential rows, and a plurality of cooling orifices for allowing the air flowing from the cold side of the wall to enter the warm side to form a cooling air film along said wall, the cooling orifices being distributed in a plurality of circumferential rows; axially spaced from each other, the number of cooling orifices being identical in each row, characterized in that it further comprises a plurality of of bores arranged directly downstream of the primary holes and the dilution holes and distributed in circumferential rows, the bores of the same row having a substantially identical diameter, being spaced at a constant pitch and having intrinsic characteristics different from those of the cooling holes of adjacent rows.
Par caractéristiques intrinsèques des perçages, on entend le nombre, l'inclinaison et le diamètre de ces perçages. La présence de perçages ayant des caractéristiques intrinsèques différentes de celles des orifices de refroidissement et disposés directement en aval des trous primaires et de dilution permet d'assurer un refroidissement efficace de ces zones. Tout risque de formation de criques est ainsi évité. En outre, les perçages spécifiques sont répartis selon des rangées circonférentielles, présentent un même diamètre et sont espacés d'un pas constant ce qui facilite grandement les opérations de perçage et réduit donc les coûts et les délais de fabrication de la paroi.By intrinsic characteristics of the holes, we mean the number, the inclination and the diameter of these holes. The presence of holes having intrinsic characteristics different from those of the cooling orifices and arranged directly downstream of the primary and dilution holes makes it possible to ensure efficient cooling of these zones. Any risk of formation of cracks is thus avoided. In addition, the specific holes are distributed in circumferential rows, have the same diameter and are spaced a constant pitch which greatly facilitates the drilling operations and thus reduces the costs and manufacturing time of the wall.
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le nombre de perçages d'une même rangée peut être différent du nombre d'orifices de refroidissement des rangées adjacentes.According to one embodiment of the invention, the number of holes in the same row may be different from the number of cooling orifices of the adjacent rows.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'inclinaison des perçages d'une même rangée par rapport à une normale à la paroi peut être différente de celle des orifices de refroidissement des rangées adjacentes.According to another embodiment of the invention, the inclination of the bores of the same row relative to a normal to the wall may be different from that of the cooling orifices of adjacent rows.
Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le diamètre des perçages d'une même rangée peut être différent de celui des orifices de refroidissement des rangées adjacentes.According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the bores of the same row may be different from that of the cooling holes of adjacent rows.
La présente invention a également pour objet une chambre de combustion et une turbomachine (ayant une chambre de combustion) comportant une paroi annulaire telle que définie précédemment.The present invention also relates to a combustion chamber and a turbomachine (having a combustion chamber) comprising an annular wall as defined above.

La figure 1 illustre une chambre de combustion pour turbomachine. Une telle turbomachine comporte notamment une section de compression (non représentée) dans laquelle de l'air est comprimé avant d'être injecté dans un carter de chambre 2, puis dans une chambre de combustion 4 montée à l'intérieur de celui-ci.FIG. 1 illustrates a combustion chamber for a turbomachine. Such a turbomachine comprises in particular a compression section (not shown) in which air is compressed before being injected into a chamber housing 2, then into a combustion chamber 4 mounted inside thereof.
L'air comprimé est introduit dans la chambre de combustion et mélangé à du carburant avant d'y être brûlé. Les gaz issus de cette combustion sont alors dirigés vers une turbine haute-pression 5 disposée en sortie de la chambre de combustion 4.Compressed air is introduced into the combustion chamber and mixed with fuel before being burned. The gases resulting from this combustion are then directed to a high-
La chambre de combustion 4 est de type annulaire. Elle est formée d'une paroi annulaire interne 6 et d'une paroi annulaire externe 8 qui sont réunies en amont par une paroi transversale 10 formant fond de chambre.The combustion chamber 4 is of annular type. It is formed of an inner
Les parois interne 6 et externe 8 s'étendent selon un axe longitudinal X-X légèrement incliné par rapport à l'axe longitudinal Y-Y de la turbomachine. Le fond de chambre 10 est pourvu d'une pluralité d'ouvertures 12 dans lesquelles sont montés des injecteurs de carburant 14.The inner 6 and outer 8 walls extend along a longitudinal axis X-X slightly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis Y-Y of the turbomachine. The
Le carter de chambre 2, qui est formé d'une enveloppe interne 2a et d'une enveloppe externe 2b, ménage avec la chambre de combustion 4 un espace annulaire 16 dans lequel est admis de l'air comprimé destiné à la combustion, à la dilution et au refroidissement de la chambre.The chamber casing 2, which is formed of an
Les parois interne 6 et externe 8 présentent chacune un côté froid 6a, 8a disposé du côté de l'espace annulaire 16 dans lequel circule l'air comprimé et un côté chaud 6b, 8b tourné vers l'intérieur de la chambre de combustion 4 (figure 3).The inner 6 and outer 8 walls each have a
La chambre de combustion 4 se divise en une zone dite « primaire » (ou zone de combustion) et une zone dite « secondaire » (ou zone de dilution) située en aval de la précédente (l'aval s'entend par rapport à la direction générale d'écoulement des gaz issus de la combustion du mélange air/carburant à l'intérieur de la chambre de combustion).The combustion chamber 4 is divided into a so-called "primary" zone (or combustion zone) and a so-called "secondary" zone (or dilution zone) located downstream of the previous one (the downstream means with respect to the general direction of flow of gases from the combustion of the air / fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber).
L'air qui alimente la zone primaire de la chambre de combustion 4 est introduit par une ou plusieurs rangées circonférentielles de trous primaires 18 pratiqués dans les parois interne 6 et externe 8 de la chambre. Quant à l'air alimentant la zone secondaire de la chambre, il emprunte une pluralité de trous de dilution 20 également formés dans les parois interne 6 et externe 8. Ces trous de dilution 20 sont alignés selon une ou plusieurs rangées circonférentielles qui sont décalées axialement vers l'aval par rapport aux rangées des trous primaires 18.The air which supplies the primary zone of the combustion chamber 4 is introduced by one or more circumferential rows of
Les trous primaires 18 et les trous de dilution 20 sont répartis sur les parois interne 6 et externe 8 selon des rangées s'étendant sur toute la circonférence des parois.The
Afin de refroidir les parois interne 6 et externe 8 de la chambre de combustion qui sont soumises aux températures élevées des gaz de combustion, il est prévu une pluralité d'orifices de refroidissement 22 (figures 2 et 3).In order to cool the inner 6 and outer 8 walls of the combustion chamber which are subjected to the high temperatures of the combustion gases, a plurality of
Ces orifices 22, qui assurent un refroidissement des parois 6, 8 par multiperforation, sont répartis selon une pluralité de rangées circonférentielles espacées axialement les unes des autres. Ces rangées d'orifices de multiperforation couvrent presque toute la surface des parois 6, 8 de la chambre.These
Le nombre et le diamètre d1 des orifices de refroidissement 22 sont identiques dans chacune des rangées. Le pas p1 entre deux orifices 22 d'une même rangée est également identique sur toute la rangée. Par ailleurs, les rangées adjacentes d'orifices de refroidissement sont arrangées de façon à ce que les orifices 22 soient disposés en quinconce comme représenté sur la figure 1.The number and the diameter d1 of the
Comme illustré sur la figure 3, les orifices de refroidissement 22 présentent généralement un angle d'inclinaison α par rapport à une normale N à la paroi annulaire 6, 8 au travers de laquelle ils sont percés. Cette inclinaison α permet à l'air empruntant ces orifices de former un film d'air le long du côté chaud 6b, 8b de la paroi annulaire 6, 8. Par rapport à des orifices non inclinés, elle permet également d'augmenter la surface de la paroi annulaire qui est refroidie.As illustrated in FIG. 3, the
En outre, l'inclinaison α des orifices de refroidissement 22 est dirigée de sorte que le film d'air ainsi formé s'écoule dans le sens d'écoulement des gaz de combustion à l'intérieur de la chambre (schématisé par la flèche sur la figure 3).In addition, the inclination α of the
A titre d'exemple, pour une paroi annulaire 6, 8 réalisée en matériau métallique ou céramique et ayant une épaisseur comprise entre 0,8 et 3,5mm, le diamètre d1 des orifices de refroidissement 22 peut être compris entre 0,3 et 1 mm, le pas p1 compris entre 1 et 10 mm et leur inclinaison α comprise entre -80° et +80°. A titre de comparaison, pour une paroi annulaire ayant les même caractéristiques, les trous primaires 18 et les trous de dilution 20 possèdent un diamètre de l'ordre de 5 à 20 mm.By way of example, for an
Selon l'invention, chaque paroi annulaire 6, 8 de la chambre de combustion comporte en outre une pluralité de perçages 24 qui sont disposés directement en aval des trous primaires 18 et de dilution 20 et qui sont répartis selon des rangées circonférentielles.According to the invention, each
Les perçages 24 d'une même rangée présentent un diamètre d2 sensiblement identique, sont espacés d'un pas p2 constant et présentent des caractéristiques intrinsèques différentes de celles des orifices de refroidissement 22 des rangées adjacentes.The
Pour chaque trou primaire 18 et de dilution 20, ces perçages 24 sont ainsi répartis selon une ou plusieurs rangées (par exemple de 1 à 3 rangées) qui sont disposées directement en aval dudit trou 18, 20.For each
Les caractéristiques intrinsèques de ces perçages 24 sont différentes de celles des orifices de refroidissement 22, c'est-à-dire que le nombre de perçages d'une même rangée est différent de celui d'une rangée d'orifices de refroidissement, et/ou l'inclinaison des perçages d'une même rangée par rapport à une normale N à la paroi 6, 8 est différente de celle des orifices de refroidissement, et/ou le diamètre d2 des perçages d'une même rangée est différent de celui d1 des orifices de refroidissement 22. Il est à noter que ces trois caractéristiques intrinsèques des perçages 24 peuvent s'additionner.The intrinsic characteristics of these
Ainsi, selon un exemple de réalisation, le nombre de perçages 24 sur une même rangée peut être, sur toute la circonférence de la paroi, de l'ordre de 860 lorsque le nombre d'orifices de refroidissement 22 est de l'ordre de 576.Thus, according to an exemplary embodiment, the number of
Selon un autre exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 3, l'inclinaison des perçages 24 par rapport à une normale aux parois 6, 8 est nulle (c'est-à-dire que les perçages sont sensiblement perpendiculaires aux parois), tandis que l'inclinaison α des orifices de refroidissement 22 par rapport à cette même normale est comprise entre 30° et 70°.According to another exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the inclination of the
Comme indiqué précédemment, les perçages 24 d'une même rangée présentent un diamètre d2 identique et sont espacés d'un pas p2 constant. De tels perçages sont typiquement réalisés au laser à l'aide d'une machine programmée en fonction de la position de chacun des perçages à réaliser. Aussi, les caractéristiques des perçages selon l'invention permettent, par rapport à un traitement localisé (pour lequel les perçages sont réalisés uniquement dans le voisinage direct de chacun des trous primaires et de dilution), de simplifier considérablement la programmation de la machine, et donc de réduire les coûts et les délais de fabrication.As indicated above, the
