Turbomachine combustion chamber shell ring
View Patent ↗A turbomachine combustion chamber shell ring in which dilution holes in the turbomachine combustion chamber shell ring are covered with inserts defining chambers around same on an inner face of the shell ring. Ventilation holes, through the insert, induce ventilation of portions of the shell ring surrounding the dilution holes, cool the portions, and prevent crack formation.
1. A turbomachine combustion chamber shell ring, comprising:
dilution holes;
ventilation holes surrounding the dilution holes and being finer and more numerous than the dilution holes; and
inserts extending over and around the dilution holes on an outer face of the shell ring,
wherein the shell ring is devoid of ventilation holes at portions situated beneath the inserts,
wherein the inserts each comprise an outer edge for attaching to the shell ring and an orifice extending over one of the respective dilution holes, and the inserts are traversed by holes directed towards the portions of the shell ring, and
wherein the outer edge surrounds the holes traversing the inserts and the portions of the shell ring devoid of ventilation holes situated beneath the inserts.
2. A shell ring according to claim 1 , wherein main portions of the inserts which comprise said holes are parallel with the shell ring.
3. A shell ring according to claim 1 , wherein main portions of the inserts which comprise said holes are inclined in relation to the shell ring in rising in a downstream direction of the shell ring.
4. A shell ring according to claim 1 , wherein the holes of the inserts are perpendicular to the shell ring.
5. A shell ring according to claim 1 , wherein the inserts extend more in a downstream direction of the shell ring than in other directions from centers of the dilution holes.
6. A shell ring according to claim 5 , wherein the inserts narrow in the downstream direction of the shell ring.
7. A shell ring according to claim 1 , wherein the inserts each comprise an inner edge surrounding a respective of the orifices and extending through a respective of the dilution holes.
8. A shell ring according to claim 7 , wherein the inner edge is enclosed between attachment sectors projecting in the respective of the dilution holes, flow sectors being defined in the respective of the dilution holes by the inner edge and the attachment sectors.
9. A shell ring according to claim 8 , wherein the dilution holes and the inner edges have centers offset in an axial direction of the shell ring, such that flow sectors have a main surface area downstream from the inner edges.
10. A turbomachine combustion chamber comprising:
a shell ring;
the shell ring comprising dilution holes and ventilation holes surrounding the dilution holes and being finer and more numerous than the dilution holes; and
inserts extending over and around the dilution holes on an outer face of the shell ring,
wherein the shell ring is devoid of ventilation holes at portions situated beneath the inserts;
wherein the inserts each comprise an outer edge for attaching to the shell ring and an orifice extending over one of the respective dilution holes, and the inserts are traversed by holes directed towards the portions of the shell ring, and
wherein the outer edge surrounds the holes traversing the inserts and the portions of the shell ring devoid of ventilation holes situated beneath the inserts.
