Description
L'invention se rapporte à une chambre de post-combustion de turboréacteur et concerne plus particulièrement un perfectionnement du système d'allumage de ladite post-combustion.The invention relates to a turbojet afterburner chamber and relates more particularly to an improvement of the ignition system of said afterburner.
La post-combustion est utilisée dans les avions militaires pour augmenter rapidement la poussée du moteur et par conséquent la vitesse de l'avion lorsque les conditions de vol l'exigent.Post-combustion is used in military aircraft to rapidly increase the engine thrust and consequently the speed of the aircraft when flight conditions require it.

L'invention s'applique à un type voisin de chambre de combustion équipée d'un brûleur annulaire et d'une bougie capable d'engendrer des étincelles pour l'allumage de la post combustion. Dans un tel système, l'extrémité de la bougie est placée en regard d'un point d'une rampe annulaire de distribution de carburant. Dans ce type de post-combustion, en effet, en fonction de l'altitude et de la vitesse de l'avion au moment du déclenchement de ladite post combustion, la pression et la température d'injection du carburant dans la rampe peuvent être trop faibles ou trop variables. On ne peut en effet intervenir directement sur la pression d'injection dans la rampe annulaire. Par conséquent, l'allumage est incertain et, parfois, la post combustion ne se déclenche pas, sans qu'on puisse nécessairement incriminer le fonctionnement de la bougie. L'invention permet de résoudre ce problème.The invention applies to an adjacent type of combustion chamber equipped with an annular burner and a spark plug capable of generating sparks for the ignition of the post combustion. In such a system, the end of the candle is placed opposite a point of an annular fuel distribution ramp. In this type of post-combustion, in fact, depending on the altitude and the speed of the aircraft at the moment of the triggering of said post combustion, the pressure and the fuel injection temperature in the ramp may be too high. weak or too variable. We can not directly intervene on the injection pressure in the annular ramp. Therefore, the ignition is uncertain and sometimes the post combustion does not trigger, without necessarily incriminating the operation of the candle. The invention solves this problem.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne une chambre de post-combustion comportant une rampe annulaire d'injection du carburant de post-combustion et une bougie d'allumage montée au voisinage de ladite rampe annulaire, caractérisé en ce qu'un injecteur d'allumage est installé en regard de ladite bougie et est connecté à des moyens d'alimentation de carburant spécifiques aptes à délivrer ledit carburant sous une pression contrôlée indépendante des conditions d'alimentation de ladite rampe annulaire.More particularly, the invention relates to a post-combustion chamber comprising an annular ramp for injecting the afterburner fuel and a spark plug mounted in the vicinity of said annular ramp, characterized in that an ignition injector is installed next to said spark plug and is connected to specific fuel supply means capable of delivering said fuel under a controlled pressure independent of the supply conditions of said annular ramp.
Ainsi, l'injecteur d'allumage spécifique alimenté par une source de carburant différente de celle qui alimente le brûleur et venant pulvériser du carburant pendant quelques secondes en regard de la bougie d'allumage, garantit la mise à feu de la post-combustion.Thus, the specific ignition injector fed by a fuel source different from that which feeds the burner and spraying fuel for a few seconds opposite the spark plug, ensures the ignition of the afterburner.
Une fois la post-combustion déclenchée, la source d'alimentation spécifique de l'injecteur d'allumage peut être arrêtée jusqu'au prochain déclenchement de post-combustion. La bougie émet plusieurs étincelles par seconde jusqu'à l'allumage. La période d'allumage dure quelques secondes, par exemple entre trois et dix secondes.Once the post-combustion is triggered, the specific power source of the ignition injector can be stopped until the next post-combustion trigger. The spark plug emits several sparks per second until ignition. The ignition period lasts a few seconds, for example between three and ten seconds.
L'injecteur est pourvu d'une buse spéciale qui vaporise le jet en particules très fines inférieures à cinquante microns.The injector is provided with a special nozzle which vaporizes the jet in very fine particles smaller than fifty microns.
Dans un mode de réalisation où la rampe annulaire est montée dans un anneau brûleur, ledit injecteur fait saillie à l'intérieur de cet anneau, à l'arrière de la bougie.In one embodiment where the annular ramp is mounted in a burner ring, said injector protrudes inside this ring at the back of the candle.
Dans une chambre de post-combustion, on distingue classiquement un flux primaire chaud interne où les gaz délivrés par la turbine s'écoulent et un flux secondaire plus froid, externe, séparé du flux primaire par une virole. Dans le cas où l'anneau brûleur est placé dans le flux primaire chaud, l'injecteur et la bougie sont logés dans un fourreau protecteur fixé à un carter extérieur, communément appelé carter de réchauffe et débouchant dans ledit anneau brûleur. Ce fourreau protecteur isole le système d'allumage dudit flux primaire chaud. En outre, le fourreau protecteur comporte avantageusement des orifices de ventilation communiquant avec le flux secondaire froid. De cette façon, de l'air froid circule en permanence à l'intérieur du fourreau protecteur pour maintenir le système d'allumage à une température acceptable.In a post-combustion chamber, there is a classically distinguished internal hot primary stream where the gases delivered by the turbine flow and a secondary colder external stream separated from the primary stream by a ferrule. In the case where the burner ring is placed in the hot primary flow, the injector and the spark plug are housed in a protective sleeve attached to an outer casing, commonly called a heat sink and opening into said burner ring. This protective sheath isolates the ignition system from said hot primary stream. In addition, the protective sheath advantageously comprises ventilation orifices communicating with the cold secondary flow. In this way, cold air circulates continuously inside the protective sleeve to keep the ignition system at an acceptable temperature.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront mieux à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un turboréacteur à chambre de post-combustion conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

En se reportant aux
Dans l'espace défini entre le carter 18 et le cône 19, d'une part et ledit carter diffuseur 16, d'autre part, se trouve agencée une virole 20 dite "confluence" qui sépare et canalise les flux gazeux primaire F1, intérieur et secondaire F2, extérieur. Le flux primaire F1 des gaz issus de la turbine est à haute température tandis que le flux secondaire F2 provenant du compresseur est à relativement basse température et permet de refroidir les éléments de structure de la chambre de post-combustion. Une chemise interne 22 portée par le carter 14 délimite la chambre de post combustion en aval d'un système de combustion 25 comprenant essentiellement un anneau brûleur 26 et des bras radiaux 27 s'étendant à partir de l'anneau brûleur vers l'intérieur de la chambre de post-combustion jusqu'au voisinage de l'axe X'X de celle-ci.In the space defined between the
La chemise 22 et le carter 14 définissent entre eux un canal de refroidissement 28, annulaire, s'étendant tout autour de la chambre de post combustion 11.The
Les bras radiaux 27 sont au nombre de neuf, régulièrement répartis circonférentiellement. Chaque bras a une section en V dont les ailes divergent vers l'arrière et forment deux rampes rectilignes d'éjection de carburant pulvérisé, constituant une structure dite "accroche-flamme". Chaque bras présente dans sa partie radiale la plus extérieure un élément 30 profilé aérodynamiquement, par lequel il est raccordé au carter 16. Cet élément permet de canaliser le flux secondaire, notamment vers le canal de refroidissement annulaire 28. Ces bras, destinés à entretenir la combustion au centre de la chambre de post-combustion sont de conception classique et ne sont pas concernés par l'invention ; ils ne seront donc pas décrits plus en détail.The
L'anneau brûleur 26 du système de post-combustion 25 est sensiblement de révolution autour de l'axe X'X ; il est porté par les éléments 30. L'anneau brûleur s'ouvre vers l'arrière entre les bras 27 et la chemise interne 22. La partie s'ouvrant vers l'arrière présente une section en V selon un plan radial passant par l'axe X'X. L'anneau brûleur 26 abrite une rampe annulaire d'injection de carburant 34 comprenant un tube de pulvérisation 36 interne, percé d'une pluralité de trous 35 de très faible diamètre et s'étendant à l'intérieur d'un tube protecteur 38 (percé de trous de relativement grand diamètre espacés régulièrement circonférentiellement) formant écran anti-rayonnement pour la protection thermique du tube de pulvérisation. Avantageusement, les trous 35 du tube de pulvérisation 36 coïncident avec les trous du tube protecteur 38. La rampe annulaire 34 s'étend sur pratiquement toute la circonférence de l'anneau brûleur 26. De façon connue, ledit anneau brûleur est alimenté en carburant par un conduit 40 relié à une source d'alimentation principale de carburant, non représenté.The
En un point de l'anneau brûleur 26, une bougie d'allumage 42 est classiquement installée au voisinage de la rampe annulaire de pulvérisation 34. Elle est engagée à coulissement dans un manchon 43 qui comporte une bride 44 coulissant elle-même dans l'espace défini entre la paroi externe de l'anneau brûleur 26 et un cadre 45 soudé à celui-ci, autour du trou par lequel l'extrémité de la bougie pénètre dans ledit anneau brûleur.At a point in the
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, un injecteur d'allumage 48, est installé en regard de ladite bougie 42 et est connecté à des moyens d'alimentation de carburant spécifiques, aptes à délivrer ledit carburant sous une pression contrôlée indépendante des conditions d'alimentation de ladite rampe annulaire. L'injecteur 48 est lui-même dit spécifique puisqu'il est alimenté par une source de carburant spéciale (non représentée) par un conduit particulier 49.According to an important characteristic of the invention, an
L'embout de pulvérisation de l'injecteur 48, qui fait saillie dans l'anneau brûleur est engagé à coulissement dans un manchon 47 qui comporte une bride 50 coulissant elle-même dans l'espace défini entre la paroi de l'anneau brûleur (à l'avant de celui-ci) et un cadre 51 soudé à celui-ci autour du trou par lequel ledit embout pénètre dans l'anneau brûleur.The spray nozzle of the
L'injecteur spécifique 48 est ici du type aéromécanique. Il est muni d'une buse de pulvérisation fine du carburant, capable de délivrer des particules de taille inférieure à cinquante microns. L'injecteur est placé de façon que l'extrémité de la bougie 42 (où se produit l'étincelle) se trouve dans le cône de vaporisation 54 de l'injecteur.The
La
En outre, le fourreau protecteur comporte des orifices de ventilation 62 communiquant avec le flux secondaire froid. Ainsi, l'intérieur du fourreau est en permanence traversé par un courant d'air froid. Un écran de protection thermique 64 est également placé entre l'injecteur et l'extrémité de la bougie. Il présente un passage 65 en regard de l'orifice de pulvérisation de l'injecteur spécifique. Un caisson de ventilation annulaire 66 est installé à l'intérieur de l'anneau brûleur 26a.In addition, the protective sheath has
Au moment de la mise à feu de la post combustion, le carburant est injecté dans l'anneau brûleur 26 et les bras 27 et, simultanément mais avec des conditions de pression différentes, une petite quantité de carburant supplémentaire est injectée grâce à l'injecteur spécifique 48. Les étincelles produites par la bougie 42 se créent dans le cône de pulvérisation de l'injecteur, ce qui provoque l'inflammation du carburant injecté par l'injecteur spécifique, puis celle du carburant délivré le long de l'anneau brûleur et des bras.At the time of ignition of the post combustion, the fuel is injected into the
