Abstract

A double flow turbo-jet engine includes a re-heating channel of the primary flow and an ejection nozzle, the secondary flow emerging at least partially in the primary flow upstream of the re-heating channel, the re-heating channel including a burner ring, including a flame holder gutter in the form of a ring portion whereof the upstream section is situated in the secondary flow, receiving a fuel manifold and a protective tubular screen of the manifold. The gutter includes an upstream recess linked with the secondary flow, and the screen includes, on its upstream section, at least one ventilation orifice of the space situated between the screen and the manifold.

Claims (6)

1. A double flow turbo-jet engine, including a re-heating channel of a primary flow, a secondary flow emerging at least partially in the primary flow upstream of the re-heating channel, wherein upstream is defined with respect to a direction of flow of exhaust gases through said turbo-jet engine, the re-heating channel including a burner ring, including a flame holder gutter in the form of a ring portion whereof an upstream section is situated in the secondary flow, receiving a fuel manifold and a protective tubular screen of the manifold, wherein the gutter includes an upstream recess linked with the secondary flow, and the screen includes, on its upstream section, at least one ventilation orifice of a space situated between the screen and the manifold,

wherein the manifold includes at least one pair of fuel spraying orifices, the screen includes at least one pair of corresponding orifices, and wherein a ventilation orifice is drilled on the screen at a same angular position for the pair of orifices.

2. A turbo-jet engine according to claim 1 wherein the screen includes a plurality of pairs of orifices, the screen comprises a ventilation orifice drilled at a same angular position for each pair of orifices.

3. A burner ring for a turbo-jet engine, including a flame holder gutter in the form of a partial ring and whereof a base is upstream with respect to a direction of flow of exhaust gases through said turbo-jet engine, a fuel manifold and a protective screen of the manifold being received in the gutter, wherein the gutter includes an upstream recess, and the screen includes, on its upstream section, at least one ventilation orifice of a space situated between the screen and the manifold,

wherein the manifold includes at least one pair of fuel spraying orifices, the screen includes at least one pair of corresponding orifices, and wherein a ventilation orifice is drilled on the screen at a same angular position for the pair of orifices.

4. A burner ring according to claim 3 , wherein the screen including a plurality of pairs of orifices, the screen comprises a ventilation orifice drilled at the same angular position for each pair of orifices.
