Description
L'invention concerne les systèmes d'injection d'air et de carburant équipant les chambres annulaires de combustion des turbomachines notamment celles d'aéronef.The invention relates to air and fuel injection systems equipping the annular combustion chambers of turbomachines, particularly those of aircraft.
La
De manière plus prĂ©cise, le dispositif mĂ©langeur 3 comprend de l'amont vers l'aval selon une direction gĂ©nĂ©rale 4 d'Ă©coulement du carburant, un organe de centrage 5 d'une tĂªte 12 de l'injecteur 2, une couronne d'admission d'air 7 et une paroi conique 8 qui est Ă©vasĂ©e vers l'aval appelĂ©e bol dans ce qui suit. Le bol 8 est destinĂ© Ă guider en sortie du système d'injection 1 un mĂ©lange d'air et de carburant destinĂ© Ă s'enflammer dans la zone primaire de la chambre de combustion. L'organe de centrage 5 (ou traversĂ©e coulissante) est constituĂ© d'une pièce annulaire Ă©vasĂ©e vers l'amont afin de faciliter l'introduction de la tĂªte d'injection au cours de son montage. La couronne d'admission d'air 7 comporte des ailettes (non reprĂ©sentĂ©es) pour imprimer Ă l'air passant dans cette couronne un mouvement de giration autour d'un axe longitudinal AA' du dispositif mĂ©langeur 3. Cette couronne comprend une vrille primaire 71 et une vrille secondaire 72. En outre, le dispositif mĂ©langeur 3 est Ă©quipĂ© d'un venturi 9 afin d'accĂ©lĂ©rer l'Ă©coulement des fluides Ă son niveau.More precisely, the
Comme cela est visible sur la
Une telle liaison permet d'autoriser des mouvements de la tĂªte 12 de l'injecteur au cours du fonctionnement de la turbomachine pour Ă©viter d'endommager cette zone qui pourrait conduire Ă des pannes avec des consĂ©quences nĂ©gatives.Such a connection makes it possible to authorize movements of the
Ainsi, en fonctionnement on peut constater des dĂ©placements relatifs entre l'injecteur et le dispositif mĂ©langeur 3 ainsi que des dĂ©fauts de fabrication. C'est-Ă -dire que la partie sphĂ©rique 11 de la tĂªte de l'injecteur 12 peut se dĂ©placer de l'amont ou l'aval (selon la direction gĂ©nĂ©rale 4).Thus, in operation we can observe relative movements between the injector and the
De tels dĂ©placements peuvent toutefois Ăªtre problĂ©matiques :
- Si la
tĂªte 12 de l'injecteur est dĂ©calĂ©e vers l'aval alors selon les cas il est possible que latĂªte 12 vienne obstruer les vrilles primaire 71 et secondaire 72 et nuisant alors au volume d'air amenĂ© dans ledispositif mĂ©langeur 3 ; - Si la
tĂªte 12 de l'injecteur est dĂ©calĂ©e vers l'amont alors le spray de carburant issu de latĂªte 12 peut impacter leventuri 9 et le bol 8. En effet, le rĂ´le de latĂªte 12 de l'injecteur est de gĂ©nĂ©rer un brouillard de fines gouttes, si ces gouttes viennent impacter leventuri 9 celles-ci vont ruisseler et se transformer en gouttes relativement plus grosses. De plus, l'angle de spray carburant ne doit pas Ăªtre rĂ©duit par leventuri 9.
- If the
head 12 of the injector is offset downstream then depending on the case it is possible for thehead 12 to obstruct the primary 71 and secondary 72 swirls and thus harm the volume of air brought into themixing device 3; - If the
head 12 of the injector is offset upstream then the fuel spray coming from thehead 12 can impact theventuri 9 and the bowl 8. Indeed, the role of thehead 12 of the injector is to generate a mist of fine drops, if these drops impact theventuri 9 they will flow and transform into relatively larger drops. In addition, the fuel spray angle must not be reduced by theventuri 9.

Un tel système d'injection comprend un injecteur 22 et un dispositif mélangeur 25 disposé en aval de l'injecteur 22 selon une direction d'écoulement du carburant dans le système d'injection.Such an injection system comprises an
On précise ici que l'amont et l'aval sont définis par rapport au sens de d'écoulement du carburant (de la gauche vers la droite sur la
L'injecteur 22 comprend une canalisation 23 d'amenée du carburant se terminant par un nez d'injection 24. Cette canalisation 23 est dans le prolongement d'un conduit amont et fait un coude avec ce dernier.The
La canalisation 23 s'étend de l'amont vers l'aval selon un axe longitudinal AA' du système d'injection d'air et de carburant. L'injecteur 22 comprend en outre une couronne 26 d'injection d'air, en aval de la canalisation 23. La couronne 26 d'injection d'air comprend une première vrille 261 et une deuxième vrille 262. La couronne 26 entoure le nez d'injection 24. Les première et deuxième vrilles de la couronne 25 d'injection d'air comprennent des passages d'air disposés tout autour.
Depuis la couronne 26 d'injection d'air s'étend une bague 28 de connexion de l'injecteur 22 au dispositif mélangeur 25. Cette bague 28 comprend une partie annulaire 281 qui est prolongée par une partie divergente 282 évasée vers l'aval. Le dispositif mélangeur 25 est disposé en aval de du nez d'injection 24. Le dispositif mélangeur 25 est notamment constitué d'un bol 27 comprenant une entrée annulaire 30 qui est prolongée par une partie conique 33 évasée vers l'aval. L'entrée annulaire 30 constitue l'entrée du dispositif mélangeurFrom the
Ainsi, le dispositif mélangeur 25 définit une cavité annulaire 29 dans laquelle, en fonctionnement le mélange d'air et de carburant se fait.Thus, the mixing
En outre, l'injecteur est en partie disposé dans cette cavité annulaire 29.Furthermore, the injector is partly arranged in this
L'injecteur doit Ăªtre en communication fluidique avec le dispositif mĂ©langeur.The injector must be in fluid communication with the mixing device.
C'est par l'intermédiaire de la bague 28 de l'injecteur que l'injecteur 22 est en communication avec le dispositif mélangeur 25. La bague 28 de connexion est avantageusement disposée autour de l'entrée 30 du dispositif mélangeur 25. En outre, la bague 28 de connexion présente un diamètre interne supérieur à celui de l'entrée 30 du dispositif mélangeur 25 de façon à ce que cette bague 28 de connexion englobe l'entrée du dispositif mélangeur.It is via the
De plus, comme cela est visible sur la
L'entrée 30 du dispositif mélangeur 25 comprend une surface externe 31 qui prend la forme d'une sphère tronquée et la bague 28 est en contact avec l'entrée du bol par l'intermédiaire de cette sphère tronquée. L'injecteur et le dispositif mélangeur présente au niveau de cette zone de contact une liaison qui autorise un déplacement relatif de l'injecteur par rapport au dispositif mélangeur. En particulier, L'injecteur et le dispositif mélangeur présente au niveau de cette zone de contact une liaison rotulante. Comme on l'aura compris, en comparaison avec l'agencement de l'art antérieur tel qu'illustré sur la
Comme on va le voir par la suite, cet agencement permet, au cours du fonctionnement du système d'injection, d'autoriser des déplacements relatifs de l'injecteur par rapport au dispositif mélangeur sans incidence sur le fonctionnement du système d'injection. En effet, comme présenté en introduction au cours du fonctionnement de la turbomachine le système d'injection est soumis à de très forts mouvements qui sont appliqués sur les différents éléments constituant le système d'injection.As will be seen later, this arrangement makes it possible, during the operation of the injection system, to authorize relative movements of the injector relative to the mixing device without affecting the operation of the injection system. Indeed, as presented in the introduction during the operation of the turbomachine the injection system is subjected to very strong movements which are applied to the different elements constituting the injection system.
De manière avantageuse, l'injecteur 22 comprend un venturi 32 situé axialement au voisinage du nez d'injection 24. Par rapport à l'agencement de l'art antérieur, on remarque ici que le venturi 32 fait partie de l'injecteur et non du dispositif mélangeur. Le venturi 32 est disposé entre les première et deuxième vrilles de la couronne 26 d'injection d'air de l'injecteur 22. Ainsi, à la différence avec l'agencement de l'art antérieur tel qu'illustré sur la
De manière avantageuse, le conduit 23, la bague 28 et le venturi 32 sont formĂ©s d'une seule pièce, c'est-Ă -dire que toutes les pièces les constituant sont usinĂ©s dans la mĂªme pièce. Ces pièces peuvent Ăªtre obtenues par un procĂ©dĂ© de fabrication additives et sont de prĂ©fĂ©rence monobloc. Également, la couronne d'injection d'air et la bague de connexion de l'injecteur sont formĂ©es d'une seule pièce de prĂ©fĂ©rence obtenue par un procĂ©dĂ© de fabrication additive.Advantageously, the
De préférence, l'entrée 30 du dispositif mélangeur est située dans le passage d'air de la deuxième vrille 262. En effet, comme on peut le voir sur la
GrĂ¢ce au nouvel agencement des Ă©lĂ©ments du système d'injection, on constate que le fait d'avoir la liaison autorisant un dĂ©placement entre l'injecteur et le dispositif mĂ©langeur limite la zone de recirculation au niveau du venturi 32 et de fuite due aux usures (en particulier grĂ¢ce Ă la liaison rotulante sur la surface externe de l'entrĂ©e du dispositif mĂ©langeur et en aval du venturi). DĂ©sormais, les fuites vont dĂ©biter dans la vrilleThanks to the new arrangement of the elements of the injection system, we see that having the connection allowing movement between the injector and the mixing device limits the recirculation zone at the level of the
Par ailleurs et de manière avantageuse, le nez d'injection 24 est agencé par rapport au venturi 32 de manière à ouvrir l'angle de spray de carburant au maximum sans impacter le venturi 32 ou le bol 27 tout en conservant une section de passage entre le nez 24 et le venturi 32. En effet, lorsque l'ensemble est monobloc il est plus facile de positionner les différents éléments les uns par rapport aux autres puisqu'on s'affranchit dans ce cas des déplacements relatifs entre les pièces. La
En outre, lorsque l'injecteur se déplace par rapport au dispositif mélangeur 25, le fait que le venturi et la couronne d'injection d'air soient formés avec l'injecteur alors, il n'y a pas obstructions au niveau de la couronne d'injection d'air, le fonctionnement du système d'injection n'est alors pas impacté par ces déplacements.Furthermore, when the injector moves relative to the
