- De manière connue, en référence à la
- En fonctionnement, au cours de la réaction de combustion R, la température de la paroi interne 121 est plus élevée que celle de la paroi externe 122, ce qui entraine, du fait des dilatations thermiques, un déplacement relatif entre la paroi interne 121 et la paroi externe 122. Les pontets 104 sont alors susceptibles de se rompre comme illustré à la
- Une solution immédiate pour éliminer cet inconvénient serait de renforcer la liaison de chaque pontet mais cela induit un temps et un coût de fabrication important. L’invention vise ainsi à éliminer au moins certains de ces inconvénients.An immediate solution to eliminate this drawback would be to reinforce the connection of each bridge, but this incurs significant manufacturing time and cost. The invention thus aims to eliminate at least some of these drawbacks.
- On connaît dans l’art antérieur par la demande de brevet US20130047618A1 une double paroi pour une chambre de combustion d’une turbine à gaz comportant des protrusions en forme de bosse.Known in the prior art by the patent application US20130047618A1 a double wall for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine comprising bump-shaped protrusions.
- L’invention concerne une double paroi pour chambre de combustion de turbine à gaz d’aéronef comportant une paroi interne configurée pour être en contact avec la réaction de combustion et une paroi externe, écartée de la paroi interne, comportant une pluralité d’orifices de manière à permettre la circulation de flux d’air de refroidissement, extérieurs à la paroi externe, qui viennent refroidir la paroi interne. La paroi interne est exempte de perforation de manière à interdire toute circulation d’un flux d’air de refroidissement vers le centre de la chambre de combustion.The invention relates to a double wall for an aircraft gas turbine combustion chamber comprising an internal wall configured to be in contact with the combustion reaction and an external wall, spaced from the internal wall, comprising a plurality of so as to allow the circulation of cooling air flows, outside the outer wall, which come to cool the inner wall. The internal wall is free of perforations so as to prevent any circulation of a flow of cooling air towards the center of the combustion chamber.
- L’invention est remarquable en ce que la paroi interne comporte une pluralité d’organes en saillie vers la paroi externe, chaque organe en saillie s’étendant dans un orifice de manière à définir une section de passage calibrée entre l’organe en saillie et l’orifice pour le passage d’un flux d’air de refroidissement.The invention is remarkable in that the internal wall comprises a plurality of members projecting towards the external wall, each projecting member extending into an orifice so as to define a calibrated passage section between the projecting member and the orifice for the passage of a flow of cooling air.
- De manière avantageuse, la pluralité d’organes en saillie permet d’augmenter la surface d’échange entre le flux d’air de refroidissement et la paroi interne, ce qui améliore la durée de vie de la chambre de combustion. En outre, le positionnement de l’organe en saillie dans un orifice permet de définir une section de passage calibrée, ce qui permet de réguler de manière précise le flux d’air de refroidissement. Enfin, de tels organes en saillie ne possèdent pas un gradient thermique important los de l’utilisation, ce qui augmente la durée de vie. Enfin, de tels organes en saillie permettent de supporter la paroi interne lors d’une fabrication additive.Advantageously, the plurality of projecting members makes it possible to increase the exchange surface between the flow of cooling air and the internal wall, which improves the life of the combustion chamber. In addition, the positioning of the projecting member in an orifice makes it possible to define a calibrated passage section, which makes it possible to precisely regulate the flow of cooling air. Finally, such protruding members do not have a significant thermal gradient during use, which increases the service life. Finally, such protruding members make it possible to support the internal wall during additive manufacturing.
- De préférence, chaque orifice ayant un bord périphérique, chaque organe en saillie s’étend à distance du bord périphérique de l’orifice. Ainsi, il n’existe pas de conduction thermique directe entre l’organe en saillie et la paroi externe. En outre, cela permet d’autoriser une dilatation différentielle lors du fonctionnement étant donné que les températures des parois sont différentes.Preferably, each orifice having a peripheral edge, each projecting member extends away from the peripheral edge of the orifice. Thus, there is no direct heat conduction between the protruding member and the external wall. In addition, it allows for differential expansion during operation as the wall temperatures are different.
- De préférence, chaque organe en saillie est distant de la paroi externe, c’est-à-dire sans contact, de manière à éviter toute conduction thermique. Les organes en saillie sont avantageusement libres par rapport à la paroi externe.Preferably, each protruding member is remote from the outer wall, that is to say without contact, so as to avoid any thermal conduction. The protruding members are advantageously free relative to the outer wall.
- De manière avantageuse, les flux d’air de refroidissement circulent de manière périphérique autour de chaque organe en saillie, ce qui améliore le refroidissement. De manière préférée, la section de passage calibrée est périphérique, de préférence, annulaire.Advantageously, the cooling air flows circulate peripherally around each protruding member, which improves cooling. Preferably, the calibrated passage section is peripheral, preferably annular.
- Selon un aspect de l’invention, chaque organe en saillie possède une section évasée vers la paroi interne. Ainsi, l’organe en saillie possède une base robuste, ce qui augmente la durée de vie.According to one aspect of the invention, each projecting member has a flared section towards the internal wall. Thus, the protruding member has a sturdy base, which increases the service life.
- De manière préférée, la paroi externe comportant une face externe, chaque organe en saillie comporte une face d’extrémité s’étendant dans le prolongement de la face externe de la paroi externe. Une telle caractéristique est avantageuse étant donné qu’elle permet d’améliorer la circulation du flux d’air de refroidissement en évitant de former un relief susceptible d’entraîner la formation de turbulences. Une telle caractéristique est obtenue de manière avantageuse lors d’une fabrication additive comme cela sera présenté par la suite.Preferably, the outer wall having an outer face, each projecting member has an end face extending in the extension of the outer face of the outer wall. Such a characteristic is advantageous given that it makes it possible to improve the circulation of the flow of cooling air by avoiding the formation of a relief liable to cause the formation of turbulence. Such a characteristic is advantageously obtained during additive manufacturing as will be presented later.
- Selon un aspect préféré de l’invention, la double paroi est fabriquée de manière additive. Un tel procédé de fabrication permet de garantir un positionnement précis de l’organe en saillie dans un orifice.According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the double wall is manufactured additively. Such a manufacturing process makes it possible to guarantee precise positioning of the projecting member in an orifice.
- L’invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d’une double paroi telle que présentée précédemment, dans laquelle la paroi interne et la paroi externe sont fabriquées de manière additive.The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a double wall as presented above, in which the internal wall and the external wall are manufactured additively.
- De préférence, la paroi interne et la paroi externe sont solidarisées à un support temporaire par addition incrémentale de poudres métalliques puis désolidarisées du support temporaire par découpe à l’interface entre les parois et le support temporaire. De manière préférée, préalablement à la désolidarisation, l’ensemble est dépoudré puis traité thermiquement.Preferably, the inner wall and the outer wall are attached to a temporary support by incremental addition of metal powders then separated from the temporary support by cutting at the interface between the walls and the temporary support. Preferably, prior to separation, the assembly is depowdered and then heat treated.
- L’invention concerne aussi une chambre de combustion pour turbine à gaz d’aéronef comportant une double paroi telle que présentée précédemment, dans laquelle la paroi interne est configurée pour être en contact avec la réaction de combustion.The invention also relates to a combustion chamber for an aircraft gas turbine comprising a double wall as presented above, in which the internal wall is configured to be in contact with the combustion reaction.
- L’invention concerne également une turbine à gaz, en particulier pour aéronef, comportant une chambre de combustion telle que présentée précédemment.The invention also relates to a gas turbine, in particular for an aircraft, comprising a combustion chamber as presented above.
- L’invention vise également un procédé d’utilisation d’une chambre de combustion telle que présentée précédemment, comprenant :
- une étape de combustion dans la chambre de combustion élevant la température de la paroi interne et
- une étape de circulation d’un flux d’air de refroidissement depuis l’extérieur via chaque section de passage calibrée de la paroi externe, définie entre un organe en saillie et l’orifice dans lequel il s’étend, de manière à refroidir la paroi interne.
- a combustion stage in the combustion chamber raising the temperature of the internal wall and
- a step of circulating a flow of cooling air from the outside via each calibrated passage section of the outer wall, defined between a projecting member and the orifice in which it extends, so as to cool the inner wall.

- De préférence, chaque organe en saillie se dilatant thermiquement, chaque organe en saillie à l’état dilaté s’étend à distance du bord périphérique de l’orifice dans lequel il s’étend.Preferably, each projecting member expands thermally, each projecting member in the expanded state extends away from the peripheral edge of the orifice in which it extends.

- L’invention va être présentée pour une chambre de combustion pour turbine à gaz d’aéronef. En référence à la
- Par chambre de combustion, on entend de manière avantageuse toute enceinte dans laquelle il est réalisé une réaction de combustion et dont la température doit être maitrisée.Combustion chamber is advantageously understood to mean any enclosure in which a combustion reaction takes place and the temperature of which must be controlled.
- Comme illustré sur la
- Comme illustré aux figures 4 et 5, la paroi externe 22 comporte une pluralité d’orifices 3 de manière à permettre la circulation de flux d’air de refroidissement F qui viennent refroidir la paroi interne 21 par circulation dans l’espace d’écartement formé entre les deux parois 21, 22. Les orifices 3 sont répartis sur la paroi externe 22 de manière à permettre un refroidissement homogène. En référence à la
- La paroi interne 21 est étanche, c’est à dire, exempte de perforation de manière à interdire toute circulation d’un flux d’air de refroidissement F vers le centre de la chambre de combustion 1, ce qui impacterait les performances de combustion. Une telle paroi interne 21 permet d’améliorer le rendement de combustion de la chambre de combustion.The internal wall 21 is sealed, that is to say, free of perforation so as to prevent any circulation of a flow of cooling air F towards the center of the combustion chamber 1, which would impact the combustion performance. Such an internal wall 21 makes it possible to improve the combustion efficiency of the combustion chamber.
- Selon l’invention, la paroi interne 21 comporte une pluralité d’organes en saillie 4 vers la paroi externe 22, chaque organe en saillie 4 s’étendant dans un orifice 3 de manière à définir une section de passage calibrée pour le passage du flux d’air de refroidissement F. Dans cet exemple, chaque orifice 3 est associé à un organe en saillie 4. Il va de soi que certains orifices 3 pourraient être dépourvus d’organe en saillie 4.According to the invention, the internal wall 21 comprises a plurality of projecting members 4 towards the external wall 22, each projecting member 4 extending into an orifice 3 so as to define a passage section calibrated for the passage of the flow of cooling air F. In this example, each orifice 3 is associated with a projecting member 4. It goes without saying that some orifices 3 could have no projecting member 4.
- De manière avantageuse, les organes en saillie 4 permettent d’augmenter la surface d’échange thermique de la paroi interne 21 avec les flux d’air de refroidissement F, ce qui améliore le refroidissement de la paroi interne 21. En outre, une section de passage calibrée permet de contrôler précisément l’alimentation en flux d’air de refroidissement F afin de l’utiliser avec parcimonie.Advantageously, the projecting members 4 make it possible to increase the heat exchange surface of the internal wall 21 with the cooling air flows F, which improves the cooling of the internal wall 21. In addition, a section calibrated passage allows precise control of the supply of cooling air flow F in order to use it sparingly.
- En référence à la
- Dans cet exemple, l’organe en saillie 4 possède une section évasée vers la paroi interne 21. Une section évasée permet à l’organe en saillie 4 de posséder une base large garantissant une liaison robuste avec la paroi interne 21. In this example, the protruding member 4 has a flared section towards the internal wall 21. A flared section allows the protruding member 4 to have a wide base guaranteeing a robust connection with the internal wall 21.

- De manière avantageuse, l’organe en saillie 4 est centré dans l’orifice 3 de manière à ce que la section calibrée soit adaptée entre la portion de tête 4b et l’orifice 30, de préférence, de forme annulaire. Lorsque la chambre de combustion va monter en température, les dilatations thermiques vont augmenter la section de passage du flux d’air de refroidissement pour obtenir un refroidissement optimal. La section calibrée permet d’adapter le débit du flux d’air de refroidissement afin d’utiliser le flux d’air de refroidissement avec parcimonie.Advantageously, the projecting member 4 is centered in the orifice 3 so that the calibrated section is fitted between the head portion 4b and the orifice 30, preferably of annular shape. When the combustion chamber will rise in temperature, the thermal expansions will increase the passage section of the cooling air flow to obtain optimal cooling. The calibrated section makes it possible to adapt the flow rate of the cooling air flow in order to use the cooling air flow sparingly.
- De manière préférée, le rayon r3 de l’orifice 3 est plus grand que le rayon r4 de l’organe en saillie 4 de manière à définir une section de passage suffisante pour l’air de refroidissement F. Le rayon r3 de l’orifice 3 est plus grand que le rayon r4 d’au moins 10%, de préférence encore, d’au moins 30%, préférence encore, d’au moins 100%. L’espace entre l’organe en saillie 4 et le bord périphérique 30 de l’orifice 3 définit un jeu qui autorise la dilatation de l’organe en saillie 4. Comme cela sera présenté par la suite, à l’état dilaté, chaque organe en saillie 4 s’étend à distance du bord périphérique 30 de l’orifice 3 dans lequel il s’étend. Ainsi, toute conduction thermique est évitée entre un organe en saillie 4 et la paroi externe 22. De préférence, comme illustré à la

- Selon un exemple de mise en œuvre, lors de la fabrication, les parois 21, 22 sont solidarisées au support temporaire 5 par addition incrémentale de poudres métalliques. L’ensemble est ensuite dépoudré puis traité thermiquement. Les parois 21, 22 sont désolidarisées du support temporaire 5 par découpe à l’interface entre les parois 21, 22 et le support temporaire 5. Une telle fabrication additive permet avantageusement de d’obtenir des géométries originales et innovantes tout en réduisant les épaisseurs. De plus, une telle fabrication additive ne nécessite pas d’utiliser un moule pour la fabrication, ce qui est une source d’économie. Il va de soi que les parois 21, 22 pourraient également être fabriquées par association de pièces mécano-soudées ou obtenues par fonderie.According to an example of implementation, during manufacture, the walls 21, 22 are secured to the temporary support 5 by incremental addition of metal powders. The assembly is then depowdered and then heat treated. The walls 21, 22 are detached from the temporary support 5 by cutting at the interface between the walls 21, 22 and the temporary support 5. Such additive manufacturing advantageously makes it possible to obtain original and innovative geometries while reducing the thicknesses. In addition, such additive manufacturing does not require the use of a mold for manufacturing, which is a source of savings. It goes without saying that the walls 21, 22 could also be manufactured by combining mechanically welded parts or parts obtained by foundry.
- La paroi interne 21 et la paroi externe 22 sont ensuite montées dans la chambre de combustion 1 de manière à ménager entre elles un espace E comme illustré à la
- Un exemple de mise en œuvre de l’invention va être dorénavant présenté en référence à la
- une étape de combustion R dans la chambre de combustion 1 qui élève la température de la paroi interne 21 et
- une étape de circulation d’un flux d’air de refroidissement F depuis l’extérieur via chaque section de passage calibrée de la paroi externe définie entre un organe en saillie 4 et l’orifice 3 dans lequel il s’étend de manière à refroidir la paroi interne 21.
- a combustion stage R in the combustion chamber 1 which raises the temperature of the internal wall 21 and
- a step of circulating a flow of cooling air F from the outside via each calibrated passage section of the outer wall defined between a projecting member 4 and the orifice 3 in which it extends so as to cool the inner wall 21.
-
- De manière avantageuse, le flux d’air de refroidissement F se déplace dans l’espace E formé entre la paroi interne 21 et la paroi externe 22 via la section de passage calibrée. Le flux d’air de refroidissement F permet d’entrer en contact avec toute la surface de l’organe en saillie 4, ce qui permet de maximiser les échanges thermiques.Advantageously, the flow of cooling air F moves in the space E formed between the internal wall 21 and the external wall 22 via the calibrated passage section. The cooling air flow F makes it possible to come into contact with the entire surface of the projecting member 4, which makes it possible to maximize the heat exchanges.
- De préférence, lors du fonctionnement, chaque organe en saillie 4 se dilate thermiquement. A l’état dilaté, chaque organe en saillie 4 s’étend à distance du bord périphérique 30 de l’orifice 3 dans lequel il s’étend. Ainsi, toute conduction thermique est évitée entre un organe en saillie 4 et la paroi externe 22.Preferably, during operation, each projecting member 4 expands thermally. In the expanded state, each projecting member 4 extends away from the peripheral edge 30 of the orifice 3 in which it extends. Thus, any heat conduction is avoided between a projecting member 4 and the outer wall 22.
- Grâce à l’invention, la double paroi 2 peut être refroidie de manière optimale par des flux d’air de refroidissement F sans risque de création de points de faiblesse ou de rupture. La présence d’organes en saillie 4 permet d’augmenter la surface d’échange thermique et de calibrer la section de passage du flux d’air de refroidissement F.Thanks to the invention, the double wall 2 can be optimally cooled by flows of cooling air F without the risk of creating points of weakness or breakage. The presence of protruding members 4 makes it possible to increase the heat exchange surface and to calibrate the passage section of the cooling air flow F.
