Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of regenerative cycle turbines intended in particular for the production of on-board electrical or mechanical energy from fuels for aeronautical, land, maritime vehicles and light mobile units.
  • the exhaust gases exit the turbine at high temperatures (above 500°C), while the temperature of the air leaving the compressor is lower (typically between 200°C and 400°C). °C), with circulation through a heat exchanger inserted between the exhaust gases and the compressed air allowing the air to be partially heated before entering the combustion chamber, which reduces fuel consumption.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the combustion chamber and the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber.
  • German patent DE1254911 providing hook-shaped injection nozzles mounted in the injection nozzle body, which is fixed in the flame holder with its nozzle tip, so as to be movable relative to the walls of the combustion chamber.
  • the exterior part of the hook-shaped injection nozzle body is slidably mounted in a guide, possibly associated with the exterior wall of the combustion chamber, and a clamping device directed parallel to the tip mouthpiece of the nozzle is designed to hold the front end of the mouthpiece against a stop fixed in a hub of the flame holder.
  • the problem posed by the solutions of the prior art concerns turbines having a combustion chamber isolated from the outside by a double wall, two walls defining an annular conduit for the circulation of a flow of compressed air coming from the compressor and the third wall being the exterior wall of the combustion chamber, allowing the circulation of the same flow of air heated before passing through a heat exchanger.
  • the injector(s) must pass through the three walls in a sealed manner or at the very least with a controlled leak. This results in a hyperstatic assembly which does not make it possible to absorb the longitudinal thermal expansions of the injector, nor the radial and longitudinal thermal expansions of the metal walls subjected to strongly differentiated temperatures.
  • the injector passes through the walls of the combustion chamber through simple holes, referenced 38, 48 and 52.
  • This document of the prior art proposes to position the injector coaxially inside each of the coaxial holes 52, 48 and 38 provided in the housing 50.
  • This solution therefore leads to multiple disadvantages: on the one hand, the radial expansion of the injector is different from the surface expansion of the walls, which leads either to leaks between the periphery of the injector and the edge of the passage holes in the wall, or to tightness of the edges of the holes around the wall of the injector, which limits the possibilities of radial movement and can lead to deformation and fatigue of the walls .
  • the present invention relates to a combustion chamber of a turbomachine according to the subject of claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 describes a configuration not forming part of the invention as defined by the claims and represents a perspective view of the turbomachine, comprising an exchanger (1), a compressor (2), a combustion chamber (3) and a turbine (4).
  • a conical deflector (11) coaxial with the exchanger (1) circulates the hot gases coming from the turbine (4) towards an evacuation outlet (12) after passing through the exchanger (2), crossing two cassettes (5, 6) between the tubes.
  • the exchanger (2) consists of a tube exchanger, comprising two coaxial annular cassettes (5, 6).
  • the outer cassette (5) is made up of an assembly of parallel tubes, made of a metal alloy resistant to high temperatures, for example refractory stainless steel 347.
  • this exterior cassette (5) is made up of 2000 tubes with a length of 300 millimeters, an interior section of 2.8 millimeters and an exterior section of 3 millimeters.
  • the tubes are held in a known manner by spacers to define passages for hot gases coming from the turbine.
  • the tubes form a sleeve with an outer radius of 158 millimeters and an inner radius of 128 millimeters.
  • the inner cassette (6) is made up of 2000 tubes with a length of 300 millimeters, an inner section of 2.8 millimeters and an outer section of 3 millimeters.
  • the tubes form a sleeve with an outer radius of 123 millimeters and an inner radius of 67 millimeters.
  • the two cassettes (5, 6) are coaxial and embedded one inside the other.
  • Each of the cassettes (5, 6) comprises, at each end, a front sealing plate pierced for the passage of the tubes, and ensuring the constant center distance of the tubes.
  • the tubes are brazed or welded to ensure tightness at their connection with the front plates.
  • This closing structure (8) is made up of two coaxial interlocking parts, having the general shape of a rum baba mold, in refractory stainless steel 347 with a thickness of 2 millimeters.
  • the outer part (9) has an outer section corresponding to the outer section of the outer cassette (5) and an inner section corresponding to the inner section of the inner cassette (6).
  • the inner part (10) has an outer section corresponding to the inner section of the outer cassette (5) and an inner section corresponding to the outer section of the inner cassette (6).
  • Each of the parts (9, 10) has a symmetry of revolution along the axis of the turbomachine, with a constant longitudinal section.
  • the closing structure (8) ensures the deflection of gases coming from the outer cassette (5) towards the tubes constituting the inner cassette (6).
  • This solution ensures a double passage of gases in the exchanger (1), which significantly increases its thermal efficiency for a given size, and in particular a length.
  • the annular type combustion chamber (3) has a double inner envelope formed by a sheath (30) (“liner” in English) and a wall (31).
  • the sheath (30) and the wall (31) define a tubular volume for circulation of the air flow coming from the exchanger (1).
  • An outer wall (32) and the wall 31 define a tubular volume of air circulation coming from the compressor (2) and going towards the exchanger (1).
  • the injector (35) passes through these three walls (30 to 32) through three ports.
  • the walls (30 to 32) as well as the tube (35) of the injector are subjected to longitudinal and radial expansions. Fixation is ensured by a combination of connections avoiding hyperstatic situations.
  • connection between the tube (35) of the injector and the interior wall (30) is ensured by a slide connection formed by a calibrated lumen defining with the exterior surface of the tube (35) a calibrated annular clearance.
  • connection between the tube (35) of the injector and the intermediate wall (31) is ensured by a fixed connection.
  • the first alternative embodiment does not conform to the invention as defined by the claims and is illustrated schematically by the figure 2 .
  • the second alternative embodiment does not conform to the invention as defined by the claims and is illustrated schematically by the Figure 3 .
  • the third alternative embodiment does not conform to the invention as defined by the claims and is illustrated schematically by the figure 4 .
  • the fourth alternative embodiment does not conform to the invention as defined by the claims and is illustrated schematically by the figure 5 .
  • connection between said peripheral tube and the intermediate wall (31) of the sheath is constituted by a connection (80) having several degrees of freedom to allow axial movement and tangential movement of the tube, and a tolerance for pivoting.
  • connection between the peripheral tube (30) and the outer wall (32) of the sheath is constituted by a rigid sealed assembly.
  • the outer wall (32) is crossed by a cable gland (37) into which the head (38) of the injector (35) is inserted.
  • This head (38) has a disc collar (38) engaged between the two parts of the gland (37) which ensures tightening and sealing of this disc collar (38).
  • the inner end (40) passes through the inner wall (30) through a simple hole formed in the wall (30).
  • This hole is oblong in this case, to take into account the inclination of the axis of the injector (35) relative to the radial axis.
  • connection between the injector (35) and the intermediate wall (31) is made by a part having a conical upper part (41) flared outwards, extended at its base by a disc flange (42) movable in radial translation in a slot (42) formed in the head (44) of a tubular extension (43) welded to the surface of the interior wall (30).
  • the disc flange (42) is flexible, which also allows slight rotation in relation to this tubular extension (43).
