A fuel injector for a turbine engine, the injector including a body including a mechanism for admitting fuel under pressure, a stop valve for feeding a primary fuel circuit, and a metering valve mounted downstream from the stop valve for feeding a secondary fuel circuit. The injector further includes at least one leakage channel, that can be formed by a thread, that extends from a zone situated downstream from the stop valve and upstream from the metering valve to a zone situated downstream from the metering valve to generate a permanent leakage flow in the secondary circuit.

Turbine engine fuel injector with permanent leakage flow

A fuel injector for a turbine engine, the injector including a body including a primary fuel circuit and a secondary fuel circuit fed by a metering valve. A leakage channel extends from a zone in fluid flow connection with the primary circuit to a zone in fluid flow connection with the secondary circuit. The leakage channel is configured to be open in a closed position of the metering valve and to be closed by the metering valve moving.
