Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of combustion chambers for gas turbine engine. It is particularly aimed at the bedroom floor. Finally, it relates to a gas turbine engine such as a turbojet engine equipped with such a combustion chamber.
- a divergent conventional combustion chamber is illustrated on the figure 1 , which is an axial section showing a half of the combustion chamber, the other half of which is deduced by symmetry with respect to the axis of the motor (not shown).
- the combustion chamber 110 is housed in a diffusion chamber 130 which is an annular space defined between an outer casing 132 and an inner casing 134, into which is introduced an oxidant, ambient air, compressed coming upstream of a compressor (no represented) via an annular diffusion duct 136.
- This diverging combustion chamber 110 comprises two concentric walls: one external 112 and the other internal 114, which are coaxial and substantially conical. The walls widen from upstream to downstream. The outer 112 and inner 114 walls of the combustion chamber 110 are connected together, upstream of the combustion chamber by a chamber bottom 116.
- the chamber bottom 116 is a frustoconical annular piece, which extends between two substantially transverse planes flaring from downstream to upstream.
- the chamber bottom 116 is connected to each of the two outer wall 112 and inner 114 of the combustion chamber 110.
- the chamber bottom 116 has a small taper. It is equipped with injection systems 118 through which pass injectors 120 which introduce fuel to the upstream end of the combustion chamber 110 where the combustion reactions take place.
- deflectors 122 are interposed between the fireplace and the walls of the chamber bottom.
- These deflectors 122 are substantially flat plates brazed to the chamber bottom 116 with a central opening 122a for the passage of the injection system. They comprise two lateral walls 122b 122c along the radial edges, turned towards the wall of the chamber bottom and two tongues 122e 122f for guiding air along the transverse edges facing the hearth and leaving a space with the walls 114 and 112 , internally respectively external, of the chamber.
- the baffles are cooled by the impacts of cooling air jets entering the combustion chamber 110 through cooling orifices 124 drilled in the chamber bottom 116.
- the air forming these jets, flowing from the upstream downstream, is guided by chamber shrouds 126, passes through the chamber bottom 116 through the cooling orifices, and impinges on the upstream face of the deflectors 122.
- the air is then guided radially inwards and outside the focus to initiate the cooling film of the walls 114 and 112 respectively.
- This guidance along the baffles is provided by the side walls oriented radially. These walls also have a sealing function. By being in contact or by ensuring a minimum clearance with the chamber bottom, They prevent air from coming in between two adjacent baffles, enter the home and disrupt combustion. These disturbances affect pollution and should be avoided. Indeed, the pollutant discharge performance, CO and CHx are likely to be degraded by the parasitic introduction of this cold air particularly at engine idling speed where the game is more important.
- convergent combustion chambers In the context of other engine architectures where the flow of gas is generally convergent between the compressor outlet and the inlet of the turbine, there are so-called convergent combustion chambers, the outer and inner walls of the combustion chamber are inclined by widening from downstream to upstream, and not from upstream to downstream as with the first combustion chambers mentioned above, said divergent. These convergent combustion chambers may have a larger cone angle than the cone angle of the diverging combustion chambers.
- Such a large inclination of the combustion chamber affects the taper of the chamber bottom and the position of the baffles relative to the chamber bottom.
- a combustion chamber is partially illustrated at the figure 2 , in axial section. In this figure appear an axial direction 100 parallel to the axis of the turbojet, the main direction 200 of the combustion chamber 210, and the angle ⁇ between these two axes 100, 200. Due to the significant inclination of the chamber 200, the chamber bottom 216 has a larger taper angle than for a chamber bottom of convergent combustion. When not only the inclination of the chamber bottom 216 is important, but also the injectors 220 are present in reduced number and / or the combustion chamber 210 has a small diameter, it affects the distance between the chamber bottom and flat deflectors.
- the geometry of the chamber bottom can also make difficult the necessary adjustments and tolerances between the bottom wall of the chamber and the baffles.
- the optimal operation of the room is no longer ensured.
- the variation of the clearance between the baffles on the one hand and the baffles and the bottom chamber on the other hand is large enough so that the solution using side walls along the radial edges of the deflectors is no longer satisfactory.
- one of the longitudinal edges of two adjacent deflectors comprises a tab forming covers joint.
- the present invention aims to propose an alternative to this solution.
- a combustion chamber bottom deflector of a gas turbine engine comprising a wall portion with an opening for the passage of an injection system of the combustion chamber, two edges longitudinal and two transverse edges, characterized in that at least one of the longitudinal edges comprises a joint cover forming a groove forming a housing along said edge for an attached tongue or the edge of an adjacent deflector so as to render sealing the junction between said edge and the edge of an adjacent baffle.
- the solution of the invention is thus to seal the space between the baffles so as not to be dependent on the geometry of the combustion chamber and the chamber bottom in particular and to be able to absorb the dimensional variations related to the operation of the baffle. the room between idle speed and full throttle.
- the present invention also relates to a combustion chamber of an annular gas turbine engine comprising an outer wall, an inner wall, a wall connecting the two walls and constituting a chamber bottom, and a plurality of deflectors according to the invention. with a portion of wall parallel to the chamber bottom, reported in the bottom.
- the deflector 10 comprises a flat portion 10a with a central opening 10b corresponding to the housing of a not shown injection system. On the figure 5 , the opening is bordered by a flange 10b1 with shoulder for fixing in the chamber bottom.
- the deflector comprises two longitudinal edges which are oriented in a radial direction relative to the axis of the engine, when in position.
- the longitudinal edge 10c and the edge 10d are rectilinear.
- the deflector 10 also comprises two transverse edges 10e and 10f both rounded to follow the curvature of the combustion chamber and curved towards the interior of the combustion chamber for guiding the air.
- the edge 10c left on the figure 4 , is rectilinear and follows the radial profile of the deflector.
- the edge 10d on the other side comprises a rear recess with respect to the visible face on the figure 4 formed by a tongue 10d1 which extends the rear face of the wall of the baffle. This recess forms a longitudinal housing 10d10 for the edge 10'c of the adjacent deflector 10 '.
- This deflector 10 ' is identical to the deflector 10. It comprises a flat portion 10'a, two longitudinal edges 10'c and 10'd and two transverse edges curved and curved 10'e and 10'f.
- the edge 10'd comprises a longitudinal tab 10'd1 providing a housing 10'd10.
- the baffles are all identical and are mounted on the periphery of the chamber bottom being fixed by the flanges of the openings for the injection systems.
- the joint cover formed by the tongue 10d1 of each of the baffles covers the edge 10'c adjacent deflector 10 'over a width sufficient to accommodate variations in expansion of the combustion chamber.
- Each housing 10d10, 10'd10 is arranged to retain the edge 10c, 10'c of the adjacent baffle such that leaks between two adjacent baffles are reduced or completely eliminated whatever the engine speed.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine technique des chambres de combustion pour moteur à turbine à gaz. Elle vise en particulier le fond de chambre. Elle vise enfin un moteur à turbine à gaz tel qu'un turboréacteur équipé d'une telle chambre de combustion.The present invention relates to the technical field of combustion chambers for gas turbine engine. It is particularly aimed at the bedroom floor. Finally, it relates to a gas turbine engine such as a turbojet engine equipped with such a combustion chamber.
Dans tout ce qui suit, les termes « axial », « radial », « transversal » correspondent respectivement à une direction axiale, à une direction radiale, et à un plan transversal du moteur, et les termes « amont » et « aval » correspondent respectivement au sens de l'écoulement des gaz dans le moteur.In all that follows, the terms "axial", "radial", "transverse" correspond respectively to an axial direction, to a radial direction, and to a transverse plane of the engine, and the terms "upstream" and "downstream" correspond to respectively in the direction of the flow of gases in the engine.
Une chambre de combustion conventionnelle divergente est illustrée sur la
Cette chambre de combustion divergente 110 comporte deux parois concentriques : l'une externe 112 et l'autre interne 114, qui sont coaxiales et sensiblement coniques. Les parois s'évasent de l'amont vers l'aval. Les parois externe 112 et interne 114 de la chambre de combustion 110 sont reliées entre elles, vers l'amont de la chambre de combustion par un fond de chambre 116.This diverging
Le fond de chambre 116 est une pièce annulaire tronconique, qui s'étend entre deux plans sensiblement transversaux en s'évasant de l'aval vers l'amont. Le fond de chambre 116 se raccorde à chacune des deux parois externe 112 et interne 114 de la chambre de combustion 110. Le fond de chambre 116 présente une faible conicité. Il est doté de systèmes d'injection 118 à travers lesquelles passent des injecteurs 120 qui introduisent du carburant à l'extrémité amont de la chambre de combustion 110 où se déroulent les réactions de combustion.The
Ces réactions de combustion ont pour effet de faire rayonner de la chaleur de l'aval vers l'amont en direction du fond de chambre 116. Ainsi en fonctionnement le fond de chambre est-il soumis à de fortes températures. Afin de le protéger, des écrans thermiques sectorisés, encore appelés déflecteurs 122 sont interposés entre le foyer et les parois du fond de chambre. Ces déflecteurs 122, dont un est représenté sur la
Ce guidage le long des déflecteurs est assuré par les murets latéraux orientés radialement. Ces murets ont aussi une fonction d'étanchéité. En étant au contact ou en assurant un jeu minimal avec le fond de chambre, Ils empêchent l'air de venir s'immiscer entre deux déflecteurs adjacents, pénétrer dans le foyer et perturber la combustion. Ces perturbations ont une incidence sur la pollution et sont à éviter. En effet les performances en rejets de polluants, CO et CHx sont susceptibles d'être dégradées par l'introduction parasite de cet air froid particulièrement au régime de ralenti moteur où le jeu est plus important.This guidance along the baffles is provided by the side walls oriented radially. These walls also have a sealing function. By being in contact or by ensuring a minimum clearance with the chamber bottom, They prevent air from coming in between two adjacent baffles, enter the home and disrupt combustion. These disturbances affect pollution and should be avoided. Indeed, the pollutant discharge performance, CO and CHx are likely to be degraded by the parasitic introduction of this cold air particularly at engine idling speed where the game is more important.
Dans le cadre d'autres architectures de moteurs où le flux de gaz est globalement convergent entre la sortie du compresseur et l'entrée de la turbine, on dispose de chambres de combustion dites convergentes, les parois externe et interne de la chambre de combustion sont inclinées en s'évasant de l'aval vers l'amont, et non pas de l'amont vers l'aval comme avec les premières chambres de combustion mentionnées plus haut, dites divergentes. Ces chambres de combustion convergentes peuvent avoir un angle de cône plus important que l'angle de cône des chambres de combustion divergentes.In the context of other engine architectures where the flow of gas is generally convergent between the compressor outlet and the inlet of the turbine, there are so-called convergent combustion chambers, the outer and inner walls of the combustion chamber are inclined by widening from downstream to upstream, and not from upstream to downstream as with the first combustion chambers mentioned above, said divergent. These convergent combustion chambers may have a larger cone angle than the cone angle of the diverging combustion chambers.
Une inclinaison aussi importante de la chambre de combustion a des répercussions sur la conicité du fond de chambre et sur la position des déflecteurs par rapport au fond de chambre. Une telle chambre de combustion est partiellement illustrée à la
Ainsi la géométrie du fond de chambre peut aussi rendre difficile les ajustements et les tolérances nécessaires entre la paroi du fond de chambre et les déflecteurs. Le fonctionnement optimal de la chambre n'est plus assuré. La variation du jeu entre les déflecteurs d'une part et les déflecteurs et le fond de chambre d'autre part est suffisamment importante pour que la solution mettant en oeuvre des murets latéraux le long des bords radiaux des déflecteurs ne soit plus satisfaisante.Thus the geometry of the chamber bottom can also make difficult the necessary adjustments and tolerances between the bottom wall of the chamber and the baffles. The optimal operation of the room is no longer ensured. The variation of the clearance between the baffles on the one hand and the baffles and the bottom chamber on the other hand is large enough so that the solution using side walls along the radial edges of the deflectors is no longer satisfactory.
Pour remédier à ce problème, la demanderesse a proposé dans le document

La solution de l'invention consiste donc à rendre étanche l'espace entre les déflecteurs de manière à ne pas être tributaire de la géométrie de la chambre de combustion et du fond de chambre en particulier et à pouvoir absorber les variations dimensionnelles liées au fonctionnement de la chambre entre le régime de ralenti et les pleins gaz.The solution of the invention is thus to seal the space between the baffles so as not to be dependent on the geometry of the combustion chamber and the chamber bottom in particular and to be able to absorb the dimensional variations related to the operation of the baffle. the room between idle speed and full throttle.
