COMBUSTION CHAMBER
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

l. General

1.1 The combustion chamber is designed to convert the chemical energy of the fuel into the them:Jal
energy by ensuring efficient combustion of the fuel in the air flow supplied from the com1rressor.

2. Description

The engine combustion chamber is a straight-flow, annular-type unit -incorpor.lling the following major
�emblies: combustion chamber casing (II) (Ref. F:ig. J) serving as a diffuser outer casing, diffuser
inner casing (17), flame tube (15), and (hd manifold (4) with twelve fuel nozzles.

2. l. Combustion chamber casing (11) incorporates front outer flange (36), section (31), and rear o\1ter
flange (l4). 11,e combustion chamber casing i s secured with its front flange Lo the compressor OGV
assembly housing and with its rear flange, to the turbine NGV �cmbly.

Located in the front portion of the combustion chamber casing arc Oange (35), drain connection (32),
oil delivery flange (6), two flanges (5) (Ref. Fig. 2) used for attachment of the breather pipes,
two flanges (9) (Ref. Fig. l) intended for m.ounti11g tlte ignition plugs, three flanges (3)
(Ref. Fig. 3) serving for attachment of mounts (7) {Ref. Fig. l) carrying the fuel manifold,

Auachcd to flange (35) arc an oil dram pipe and a dnlin valve.

The rear portion of the combustion chamber casing includes tlange (13) attaching the pipe tapping
air for the anti-icing system.

2.2. Toner casing (17) of Lhe diliuser comprises from inner flange (3), section (19), and rear inner flan­
ge (16). The dufuser casing is attached with its Oangc (3) to the comprcsror OGV �mbly hou­
sing and with its rear flange (16), to the housing of the compressor turbine NGV's.
Shrouds (18), (20), and (22) are welded to section (19).

2.3. The name rube is of an annular type and incorporates outer fairing (33), inner fair ing (34), twelve
swirlcrs welded into the inner fairing, two mixer sections (12) and (25) and two mounting se­
ctions (27) and (30).

The outer and inner fairings, mounting sections (27) and (30) are joined together by means of
corrugated rings (23) and (24). Welded to mounting sections are mounting rings (28) and (29) .
