Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of combustion chambers for turbomachines and more particularly the structure and the fixing of a flame tube in a combustion chamber of a turbomachine.
- a turbomachine downstream of a high-pressure compressor (not shown), a turbomachine comprises a combustion chamber delimited by internal revolution casings 1b and external 1a which are concentric.
- the combustion chamber comprises a flame tube 2 disposed in the space defined by the internal casings Ib and external la.
- the flame tube 2 is delimited by internal walls 2b and external 2a called internal and external ferrules and a bottom plate of chamber 3 which serves as a support for injectors 4.
- the combustion chamber also comprises a shroud 5 arranged in front of the chamber floor to partially cover the injectors 4 in order to protect them from possible shocks (that can occur when ingestion of a bird or an ice block in engines) and reduce aerodynamic energy losses to improve engine consumption.
- the combustion chamber comprises an air diffuser 6 opening on the injector 4 which allows to cool the injectors 4.
- the bottom plate 3, the inner walls 2b and outer 2a of the flame tube 2 and the fairing 5 are assembled by bolts (not shown).
- the combustion chamber of FIG. 1 is said to be axial annular direct in that it extends in the preferred direction of the motor shaft without turning cylindrical ferrules of the flame tube.
- This architecture is the reference for modern turbomachines, especially on high power. In the field of small powers, it coexists with the return chamber architecture which is very compact axially. However, it has the main disadvantage a large area-to-volume ratio which makes it difficult to cool the walls of the flame tube and handicaps their lifetimes. In contrast, a problem with the direct axial chamber type is that the axial size of the flame tube is substantial.
- the invention proposes to overcome at least one of these disadvantages.
- a combustion chamber of a turbomachine comprising: an outer annular casing; a flame tube connected to the outer casing, said flame tube comprising an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall defining firstly a first radial portion at the inlet of the flame tube and secondly a second axial portion at the outlet of the flame tube, the flame tube further comprising a chamber bottom located at the inlet of the flame tube; a fuel injection system configured to inject fuel into the flame tube via the inlet of the flame tube, the injection system comprising an injector axis which is parallel to the first portion, and a configured air manifold for supplying air to the tendrils of the injection system, the tendrils being arranged around an implantation axis which is parallel to the injector axis, the air manifold comprising a circular part about the axis injector, the circular portion from which extends a mouth forming an air intake manifold, the mouth being configured to rotate around the axi
- the invention is advantageously completed by the following characteristics, taken alone or in any of their technically possible combination.
- the mouth comprises a straight portion extending tangentially to the circular portion and a diverging portion extending from the circular portion.
- the circular portion has a constant radius around the injector axis.
- the circular portion has a growing radius around the injector axis.
- the mouth has a general shape: circular, rectangular, profiled.
- the flame tube is connected to the outer casing via said injection system in connection with the chamber bottom.
- the injector has a principal direction coaxial with a longitudinal axis Y in which the first portion extends.
- the first portion of the flame tube extends to the second portion forming a bend between the inlet and the outlet of the flame tube.
- the invention also relates to a turbomachine comprising a combustion chamber according to the invention.
- the invention makes it possible to bring air from the diffuser more efficiently.
- the invention makes it possible to lower the pressure drop between the diffuser and the inlet of the collector.
- the outlet flow of the compressor partially feeds the injector (between 10% and 30% of the total flow compressor output).
- the remaining percentage is both reintroduced along the flame tube via the various holes (primary holes, dilution holes and multi-perforation) and is also used to cool a set of parts of the turbine unit.
- the diffuser compressor outlet
- the invention solves this problem by placing between the diffuser outlet and the inlet of the injection system a manifold whose role is to capture a portion of the air flow and achieve aerodynamic continuity.
- This device makes it possible to optimize the compressor / injection system connection, to channel the flow towards the injection system and to reduce the passage of orifices or the circumvention of parts by the flow.
- the particular shape of the manifold allows to direct the flow of air before admission into the injection system to improve the supply of the injection system.
- the injection system is composed of several tendrils whose role is to generate a rotating flow output of the injection system. These tendrils have a wedging angle (between 10 ° and 80 ° with respect to the injector axis).
- the feed of the tendrils is not optimal in the case of a conventional injection system whose main axis is inclined relative to the mean direction of the flow at the outlet of the diffuser.
- the flow can be made to make significant changes of direction to feed a spin which has a singular transition, detrimental to the performance of the combustion chamber module.
- the invention that solves this problem is to use one of the two side walls of the manifold to guide the flow before admission into the injection system without applying to the flow other significant change of direction other than expected by its rotation.
- This technical solution makes it possible to generate an overall rotation movement around the axis around which the tendrils are arranged, which is beneficial for feeding the tendrils.
- Figure 2 illustrates a sectional view of a combustion chamber
- Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of a combustion chamber
- FIG. 4 illustrates a detailed view of the connection of the combustion chamber according to a first embodiment
- Figure 5 illustrates a detailed view of the combustion chamber according to a second embodiment
- Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a manifold of a first type of the combustion chamber according to a second embodiment
- FIG. 8 and 9 illustrate a collector of a second type of the combustion chamber according to the second embodiment.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate views of a combustion chamber according to one embodiment.
- the combustion chamber comprises an outer casing 10a to which is connected a flame tube 20.
- the flame tube 20 comprises an inner annular wall 20b and an outer annular wall 20a.
- the inner and outer annular walls define on the one hand a first portion
- the inner and outer annular walls define a second portion
- the first portion 201 extends to the second portion 202 forming a bend between the inlet and the outlet of the flame tube.
- Such a bend allows an effective aerodynamic connection with a high pressure stage downstream of the gas flow (dashed arrow in Figure 2).
- this bent shape makes it possible to reduce the axial size of the flame tube 20.
- the shape of the flame tube makes it possible to reduce the length of the outer casing, which is often common with the high-pressure turbine downstream of the combustion chamber;
- the structure of the chamber is simplified in particular by the fact that the flame tube is connected to the outer casing via the injector which allows to remove the cowling and associated bolts. These parts are generally used on direct axial type chambers;
- the interface with the high pressure turbine is improved: o indeed, the exit of the flame tube is collinear with the design of the platforms of the DHP: this makes it possible to limit the number of lines of flow of hot flow which would impact the wall (in particular on the inner shell) and could potentially interfere with the cooling of these parts whose life is critical
- the spark plug can be positioned at different positions: at the bottom of the chamber and / or in the corner of the chamber and / or on the outer wall.
- the combustion chamber also comprises a chamber bottom 30 which has the shape of a plate located at the inlet of the flame tube 20.
- combustion chamber may optionally include a heat shield 50 in the form of a plate attached to the chamber bottom 30 located in the flame tube 20.
- This heat shield 50 is located at the entrance of the flame tube 20 and protects the injection system 40 from high temperatures above 2200 K that can prevail in the flame tube 20.
- Primary holes 202a, 202b are drilled in the inner and outer annular walls at the first portion 201 at the inlet of the flame tube.
- dilution holes 203a, 203b are drilled in the inner and outer annular walls at the bent portion of the flame tube 20 (see Figure 3).
- the number of holes, their respective diameters and positions may vary depending on the intended application.
- a diffuser 60 can bring air to the injection system 40 to cool it.
- the injection system 40 comprises an injector body 40a surrounding an injection pipe 40b through which the fuel as such is brought into the flame tube. 20.
- the injector body 40a is fixed to the outer casing 10a by means of bolts 70 and fixing plates 80 (see FIG. 3).
- the inner and outer annular walls are fixed to the outer casing 10a via the injector body 40a thus making it possible to simplify the bowl-chamber connection and thus to avoid the use of a play-catching system.
- the body 40a of the injector is connected to the injection pipe 40b and the body 40a of the injection system 40 is inserted into the cylinder 40d surmounting the connecting disc 40c so that the injector body 40a ( and therefore the injection pipe 40b) is movable relative to the cylinder 40d. This allows a compensation of the movements to which the flame tube 20 is subjected. There is therefore no need for complex compensation systems.
- the injector body 40a comprises an air inlet 40e through which air from the diffuser 60 is introduced. This air makes it possible to supply air to the injection system 40.
- the air inlet 40e has, in a nonlimiting manner, the shape of an oval recess formed in the injector body 40a. It will therefore be understood that other forms can be envisaged.
- the combustion chamber according to a second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the structure of an injection system 40 'of a second type.
- the flame tube 20 involved in this second embodiment is identical to that previously described.
- the injection system 40 ' is attached to the chamber bottom 30, the flame tube 20 being connected to the outer casing 10a of the turbomachine via the injection system 40'.
- the injection system 40 'in this second embodiment comprises an injector body 40'a surmounting a circular connecting structure 40'c comprising at least one connecting disc.
- the connecting structure 40'c is inserted into the chamber bottom 30 in which a recess of the size of the circular connecting structure has been formed.
- the collector 40'd is integral with the injector body 40'a.
- the inner and outer annular walls are fixed to the outer casing 10a via the injector body 40'a thus making it possible to simplify the connection between the bowl and the chamber bottom and thus to avoid the use of a system of catching up games.
- the injector body 40 ' surrounds an injection pipe 40' (along the injector axis AA ') through which the fuel is fed as such into the flame tube 20.
- the injector axis AA' is coincides with the radial axis Y, so as to be parallel to the first radial portion 201 of the flame tube 20.
- an air collector 40'd overcomes the injection pipe 40'b.
- the tendrils are formed by vanes arranged around a parallel implantation axis with the injector axis AA '.
- the axis of implantation around which the tendrils are located and the injector axis AA ' can be confused.
- This collector is arranged near the diffuser 60 without being connected to the latter (in which case the vibrations could damage the structure).
- the collector is physically separated from the diffuser because of the expansion rates that are different.
- the air collector 40'd may be in the axis AA 'of the injection system and comprises a circular portion 41 surrounding the injection pipe 40'b in a constant radius.
- This circular portion 41 has identical dimensions to the injector body 40'a. From this circular portion 41 extends a mouth 42 through which air from the diffuser 60 is introduced.
- the mouth 42 has a straight portion 43 tangent to the circular portion 41 and a diverging portion 44 from the circular portion 41 (or converging from the air inlet).
- the collector can of course take other forms.
- the circular shape of this circular portion 41 facilitates the rotation of the air flow around the axis of implantation of the tendrils which coincides with the injector axis AA 'on the embodiment shown in the figures 6 and 7.
- the air collector 40'd can be offset relative to the axis AA 'of the injector. In these figures, it is deported to the left but can of course be deported to the right of the axis AA 'of the injector.
- the collector comprises a circular portion 4 having a growing radius around the injection pipe (non-constant radius around the injection pipe).
- the circular portion 4 extends firstly according to a constant radius on a first portion, and a radius increasing beyond (volute type). And from this circular portion 4 extends the mouth 42 having a straight portion 43 tangential to the circular portion and a diverging portion 44 from the circular portion.
- the mouth 42 can take several forms: rectangular, circular or profiled.
- the latter can prevent water entering the engine in the case of ingestion of water or hail from entering the collector and then injected into the flame tube, especially in the primary combustion zone.
- the outer radius of the mouth 42 may be judiciously adapted to not capture the water (liquid or vapor) which is preferably on the outer radii of the centrifugal wheel and the axial diffuser.
