Turbomachine combustion chamber
View Patent ↗A turbomachine combustion chamber including a chamber bottom with at least one opening designed to receive a combustion bowl in the axis of which an air and fuel injection device is mounted is disclosed. The downstream end of the flared bowl includes a divergent with a double partition delimiting an annular cavity. The first outer partition includes inlet orifices arranged to cool the second inner partition by impact and the second inner partition includes outlet orifices. The inlet orifices, distributed in at least two circular rows on the periphery of the divergent, are in staggered rows with the outlet orifices.
1. A turbomachine combustion chamber comprising:
a chamber bottom with at least one opening;
a flared combustion bowl which is received in the at least one opening of the chamber bottom, a downstream end of the flared bowl including a divergent;
an air and fuel injection device mounted in the flared bowl along an axis of the flared bowl,
wherein the divergent includes a first outer partition and a second inner partition arranged coaxially along the axis of the flared bowl so as to define therebetween an annular cavity,
wherein each of the first outer partition and the second inner partition includes an upstream axial portion, a downstream radial portion, and a frustoconical portion connecting the upstream axial portion to the downstream radial portion,
wherein the first outer partition includes inlet orifices arranged to cool the second inner partition by impact and the second inner partition includes outlet orifices, and
wherein the inlet orifices are distributed in at least two circular rows on a periphery of the divergent and are in staggered rows with the outlet orifices.
2. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a tangential incidence of the outlet orifices is between 20° and 45°.
3. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a tangential incidence of the inlet orifices is equal, and in the same direction, to that of the outlet orifices.
4. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combustion chamber comprises at least one spiral arranged in order to swirl the air and the fuel injected into the chamber.
5. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a tangential incidence of the plurality of outlet orifices is in the opposite direction to the direction of swirl of the spiral.
6. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outlet orifices and the inlet orifices are distributed in circular rows, the orifices of each row being evenly distributed over the periphery of the bowl.
7. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 4 , wherein an outer spiral is disposed between a downstream side of an annular cap and the divergent.
8. The combustion chamber as claimed in claim 7 , wherein an inner spiral is disposed between an upstream side of the annular cap and the chamber bottom.
