Description
- The present invention relates to the field of combustion chambers for airplane gas turbine engines, and more particularly to combustion chambers having air injection orifices through their walls.
- A combustion chamber for a gas turbine is disposed in conventional manner inside a housing that constitutes a casing. It is made up of inner and outer side walls that are united by an end wall on which injector systems are mounted that are distributed over one or more heads.
- Conventionally, the air coming from the high pressure compressor of the turbine is admitted into the combustion chamber. A fraction of this air feeds the combustion zone axially via end wall injector systems and another fraction enters transversely via primary air injection holes pierced through the inner and outer side walls of the combustion chamber. A further fraction of this air, referred to as a “dilution” fraction, is also introduced transversely, but further downstream within the combustion chamber. It is introduced via one or more rows of holes distributed through the inner and outer side walls of the combustion chamber.
- Because of the high temperatures that exist inside the combustion chamber, its inner and outer walls generally need to be cooled. Present combustion chambers use cooling methods for this purpose based on films, on tiles, or on multiple perforations.
- Multiple perforations comprise multiple cooling air injection orifices in the combustion chamber side walls for the purpose of cooling them. This method of cooling enables the fraction of air that is devoted to cooling to be reduced compared with other methods, thus enabling the fraction that is devoted to combustion to be increased, thereby reducing the production of undesirable gas emissions. The present invention relates more particularly to this type of combustion chamber cooling method, but it is not limited to this case only.
- It is known that piercing multiple perforation orifices in the vicinity of primary combustion air and dilution air injection orifices is undesirable since there is a danger of causing cracks to propagate via said orifices. Unfortunately, the absence of local cooling in this zone gives rise to the appearance of hot points and temperature gradients which disturb the high temperature behavior of the combustion chamber side walls.
- In addition, the impact of the air and fuel mixture against the walls of the combustion chamber tends to form hot points at any point within the combustion zone.
- In order to solve that problem, a solution that is known from U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,875,339 and 4,700,544, for example, lies in inserting hollow sleeves or bushings in the injection holes to define passages for injecting combustion or dilution air and also defining side orifices for directing a flow of cooling air substantially along the side wall of the combustion chamber in the immediate vicinity of the injection holes.
- Nevertheless, none of those solutions appears to be satisfactory for reducing the temperature gradients which appear all around the air injection holes. In addition, the front portions of the peripheral walls of these bushings which project into the combustion chamber are exposed to hot gases. As a result these bushings tend to become damaged quickly.
- The present invention thus seeks to mitigate such drawbacks by proposing bushings that are fixed in the air injection holes of the combustion chamber while providing passages for cooling air to improve the temperature behavior of the combustion chamber walls around said air injection holes, while maintaining a long lifetime.
- To this end, the invention provides a combustion chamber for a gas turbine comprising outer and inner side walls interconnected by an end wall, the combustion chamber being received in a casing so as to define an annular space between the combustion chamber and the casing, in which space there is a flow of air for combustion, for dilution, and for cooling the combustion chamber, the side walls of the combustion chamber being pierced by a plurality of holes having respective bushings fixed therein to define air injection passages for injecting air into the combustion chamber, each bushing comprising a peripheral wall in which at least one additional orifice is formed that opens out into the combustion chamber in the immediate vicinity of the side wall of the combustion chamber in which said bushing is fixed so that the air passing through said orifice flows substantially along said side wall, wherein each bushing is of substantially elliptical right section, the peripheral wall of each bushing including at least one groove opening out into the annular space and into which the or each orifice opens out so as to be fed with air and so as to cool the peripheral wall of the bushing.
- The elliptical shape of the bushings serves to reduce the aerodynamic blocking due to the flow of cooling air and thus to attenuate degradation of the cooling film in the vicinity of the injection holes. In addition, the presence of a peripheral groove makes it possible to ensure that air is fed to one or more orifices opening out into the groove, and also makes it possible to provide effective cooling of the peripheral wall of the bushing adjacent to its front face which is exposed to the hot gases.
- The portions of the bushings that project into the combustion chamber can match substantially the concave shape of the combustion chamber wall so as to minimize degradation of the film of cooling air.
- It is possible to vary the number of orifices provided through the peripheral walls of the bushings, the way they are distributed around the circumferences of the bushings, and the amount of air flowing through them, as a function of specific local needs for cooling in the immediate vicinity of the air injection holes.
- Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention appear from the following description given with reference to the accompanying drawings which show an embodiment that is not limiting in any way. In the figures:
- FIG. 1 is an axial half-section view of a combustion chamber constituting an embodiment of the invention;
- FIGS. 2A, 2B, and2C are section views through three embodiments of bushings fitted to the combustion chamber of FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a bushing constituting another embodiment of the invention.
- Reference is made initially to FIG. 1 which is an axial section view of a combustion chamber for an aircraft engine gas turbine.
- Typically, a gas turbine possesses a compression section (not shown) in which air is compressed prior to being introduced into a
combustion chamber casing 1, and then into acombustion chamber 2 situated therein. Thereafter the air is mixed with fuel injected into the combustion chamber prior to being burnt therein. The gas generated by this combustion is then directed towards a high pressure turbine (not shown), prior to being exhausted. - In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the
combustion chamber 2 is of the annular type. Naturally, the present invention also applies to any other shape of combustion chamber. - The
combustion chamber 2 is defined by outer andinner side walls end wall 2 c fitted withinjector systems 3 through which fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber. Conventionally, such injector systems are distributed over one or more heads. The present invention applies equally well to combustion chambers with one or multiple heads having injector systems which serve either to spray fuel mechanically, aerodynamically, or premixed, or else to vaporize it. - The
casing 1 co-operates with thecombustion chamber 2 to leave anannular space 4 into which there is admitted the compressed air for combustion, for dilution, and for cooling the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber comprises a primary zone or combustion zone proper, and a secondary zone or dilution zone situated downstream therefrom. - Air is supplied to the combustion zone by being introduced axially via the
end wall 2 c (viainjector systems 3, for example), and it is also introduced transversely via injection holes 6 pierced through the outer andinner side walls combustion chamber 2. - The air supplied to the secondary zone is also introduced transversely, but further downstream along the combustion chamber via one or more rows of holes6′ distributed in the inner and outer side walls of the combustion chamber.
- The side walls of the
combustion chamber 2 could be cooled by a conventional method based on multiple perforations through the walls. Nevertheless, the present invention also applies to combustion chambers that make use of other types of cooling (by films, by tiles, . . . ). - The outer and
inner side walls combustion chamber 2 havebushings 8 fixed in the air injection holes 6, 6′. These bushings are substantially elliptical in right cross-section and they are made as precision castings, having inside dimensions that correspond to the size of the injection holes, and they are fixed in said holes by a plurality of beads of welding or brazing. For reasons of cost and ease of repair, it nevertheless appears advantageous for the bushings to be fixed by welding. The elliptical shape of the bushings serves to reduce the aerodynamic blocking due to the flow of cooling air, thereby attenuating the degradation of the cooling film in the vicinity of the injection holes. - Each
bushing 8 comprises aperipheral wall 10 defining acentral passage 12 for air on the central axis X-X of the bushing. In its rear portion, theperipheral wall 10 forms acollar 14 that bears against the outside face of theside walls collar 14 is shaped so as to match the shape of the combustion chamber side wall. - These
bushings 8 have air feed means for simultaneously improving the thermal behavior of the inner andouter side walls - With reference more particularly to FIGS. 2A to2C, there can be seen an annular
peripheral groove 18 of substantially elliptical shape that is formed in theperipheral wall 10 of eachbushing 8. This groove opens to the rear face of the bushing 8 in theannular space 4. Air injection orifices 16 pass through the peripheral wall of eachbushing 8. Eachorifice 16 opens out both into thegroove 18 at or close to the bottom of the groove, and also into the combustion chamber in the immediate vicinity of theside walls combustion chamber 2 in which the bushing is fixed so that the air which passes through said orifice is caused to flow substantially along said side wall. - The
groove 18 constitutes a channel for feeding theorifices 16 with cooling air. The air travelling along said groove also serves to cool theperipheral wall 10 of the bushing, particularly in the vicinity of the front face of the bushing which is exposed to hot gas. The presence of thegroove 18 reduces the thickness of the peripheral wall in thefront portion 20 thereof, thereby providing cooling that is more effective. - The
orifices 16 enable a cooling film to be established around the air injection holes 6, 6′. The orifices are directed in such a manner as to minimize interaction between the streams of air I leaving the orifices and the stream F of gas generated by the combustion of the air-fuel mixture. - In the embodiment of FIG. 2A, the
orifices 16 open out substantially parallel to theside walls orifices 16 open out into the combustion chamber through thefront portion 20 of the bushing which projects into the inside of the combustion chamber from theside walls - In order to minimize degradation of the film of cooling air travelling along the side wall of the combustion chamber, the front portion of the bushing can be flush relative to said peripheral wall, as shown in FIG. 2B. Under such circumstances, it matches any concave shape of the side wall of the combustion chamber. The air flowing through the
orifices 16 is then ejected in a direction that is different from that which can be achieved using orifices in a bushing whose peripheral wall has a front portion that projects into the inside of the combustion chamber. Nevertheless, this direction slopes relative to the axis of the bushing such that the air stream I leaving these orifices is still caused to flow substantially along the side wall of the combustion chamber. - As shown in FIG. 2C, the
front portion 20 of theperipheral wall 10 of each bushing can also be semi-flush, i.e. it can project into the inside of the combustion chamber on the side of the bushing that is downstream in the gas flow direction, while being flush on its upstream side. Under such circumstances the orifice(s) 16 can open out into the combustion chamber parallel to its side wall in the downstream front portion that projects into the combustion chamber. - FIG. 3 shows that the major axis Z-Z of the elliptically-shaped
bushing 8 extends substantially parallel to the flow axis F of the gas generated by the combustion. Naturally, this axis Z-Z could also be at an angle relative to the axis F. Furthermore, in this embodiment as shown in FIG. 3, the bushing has twoorifices 16 fed from acommon groove 18 formed all around theperipheral wall 10 of the bushing. The air stream I leaving each of these orifices is directed substantially parallel to the side wall of the combustion chamber, but it is inclined relative to the axis F of the combustion gas stream. - The number of orifices is not limiting, a bushing could have a single orifice or a plurality of orifices with the air streams leaving them being substantially parallel or inclined relative to the axis F. For example, the bushing could have four
air injection orifices 16 angularly distributed at regular intervals around its entireperipheral wall 10. The air stream I leaving via these orifices is thus distributed in substantially uniform manner around the holes 6, 6′ in which said bushing is fixed. The orifices are fed from a commonannular groove 18 extending all around the peripheral wall of thebushing 8. - It is also possible to adjust the air flow rate leaving each
orifice 16 by varying the dimensions of the right sections of these orifices. Thus, it is possible to achieve a non-uniform distribution of air flow rates around the circumference of the bushing depending on whether it is desirable for cooling to take place at different rates in different sectors covered by said orifices. - In addition, the central axis X-X of each
bushing 8 can either coincide with the normal Y-Y to the side wall of the combustion chamber in which said bushing is fixed, or else it can be inclined relative thereto so as to impart any desired direction on the flow of air injected into the combustion chamber in order to obtain more uniform cooling inside the combustion chamber. - Naturally, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above but covers all variants thereof. Thus, it is possible to devise a bushing presenting an axis that coincides with or that is offset relative to the axis of the hole in which the bushing is fixed, that presents one or more air injection orifices distributed around the circumference thereof, and having a bottom face that is flush or that projects relative to the side wall of the combustion chamber.
