The invention relates to a combustion chamber for a turbomachine. The combustion chamber comprises at least one spark plug, at least one fuel injector of a first type of injector that is located facing the spark plug, and at least one fuel injector of a second type. Each fuel injector comprises a mobile sealing member that is configured to open when the fuel pressure exceeds an opening threshold. The opening threshold of the mobile sealing member of the injector of the first type is strictly less than the opening threshold of the mobile sealing member of the injector of the second type.

A combustion chamber of a turbomachine includes an annular outer casing and a flame tube connected to the outer casing. The flame tube includes an annular inner wall and an annular outer wall defining a first, radial portion at the inlet of the flame tube and a second, axial portion at the outlet of the flame tube. The first portion extends towards the second portion forming an elbow between the inlet and the outlet of the flame tube.

A fuel injection device is provided. The device includes a pilot injector opening out into a venturi and an annular row of multipoint injection orifices opening out axially in a downstream direction and radially outside the venturi, the venturi being connected at its downstream end to a separation wall. The outer peripheral edge of the separation wall has a diameter greater than the diameter of the annular row of injection orifices, whereby the separation wall forms a thermal protection screen for these orifices against heat radiation coming from the chamber.

A multipoint injector for a turbomachine according to which any risk of fuel coking is eliminated is disclosed. The multipoint fuel which is liable to stagnate inside the circuit thereof is cooled uniformly, due to the formation of continuous baffles which each communicate with at least one separate circulation channel and of which the peripheral baffles open out into a fuel admission chamber arranged in a zone diametrically opposing the circulation channels and which communicates with the injection nozzle for pilot fuel in order to achieve uniform supply and cooling of the injector.

An annular gas turbine engine combustion chamber including an outer wall and an inner wall connected by a wall forming the chamber bottom is disclosed. The walls delimit sources of combustion with axes inclined relative to the axis of the chamber. The chamber-bottom wall, of frustoconical shape, is pierced with orifices for the fuel injection systems, the planes of the orifices being perpendicular to the axes of the sources of combustion. The combustion chamber also includes heat-protection baffles centered on each of the orifices with a shoulder by which they rest against a flat surface portion along the periphery of the orifices. The chamber-bottom wall is conformed in a succession of adjacent flat facets having a common edge, with one facet per orifice, and the shoulder of the deflectors pressing against the plane of the facets.

Along one of the longitudinal edges, the deflector includes a tongue forming a joint cover, creating a housing along the edge for the edge of the adjacent deflector so as to seal the join between the two adjacent edges of the two deflectors. The tongue is spaced away from the chamber end wall so as to create a space supplied with cooling air via orifices in the chamber end wall.
