Abstract
In a turbomachine, there is provided a fuel metering unit having a cylindrical outer sleeve containing a distributor cylinder in which a metering piston can be moved linearly under the action of a control element. The cylindrical sleeve has an inlet orifice for admitting fuel under pressure and at least one outlet orifice for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the turbomachine, and the metering piston has an annular gap forming a distribution chamber for the fuel admitted via the inlet orifice and delivered via at least one outlet orifice. According to the invention, the distributor cylinder has a plurality of radial feed orifices for admitting fuel into the distribution chamber and at least a first metering orifice and at least a second metering orifice that are separated by a seal disposed at the periphery of the distributor cylinder.
