Abstract

A multipoint injector for a turbomachine according to which any risk of fuel coking is eliminated is disclosed. The multipoint fuel which is liable to stagnate inside the circuit thereof is cooled uniformly, due to the formation of continuous baffles which each communicate with at least one separate circulation channel and of which the peripheral baffles open out into a fuel admission chamber arranged in a zone diametrically opposing the circulation channels and which communicates with the injection nozzle for pilot fuel in order to achieve uniform supply and cooling of the injector.

Claims (11)

1. A method of manufacturing a ferrule intended to be assembled in a multipoint fuel injector, wherein multipoint injection channels are perforated on a periphery of the ferrule, the method comprising:

machining a first one-piece part in order to obtain a large hollow cylindrical ring;

machining a second one-piece part in order to obtain a small hollow cylindrical ring of dimensions adapted to be housed inside the large hollow cylindrical ring;

sealed soldering between two bases of the hollow rings; and

simultaneously perforating the two hollow rings soldered to one another in order to obtain multipoint injection channels.

2. A method of manufacturing a multipoint fuel injector comprising: a first ferrule; and a second ferrule manufactured as claimed in claim 1 , the method comprising:

producing another one-piece part comprising a large solid cylindrical ring and a small solid cylindrical ring projecting axially relative to the large solid cylindrical ring;

perforating pilot and multipoint circulation channels in the solid cylindrical rings;

machining of diameters of the solid cylindrical rings, perforated in order to obtain the first ferrule;

interlocking of the first ferrule in the second ferrule so as to achieve overlapping both between the large solid and hollow rings and between the small solid and hollow rings; and

sealed soldering of the rings to one another.
