Abstract
Abstract An intermediary chamber associated to a device for feeding a pulsatory combustion chamber with fuel and comburent includes a heat tube l65 defining with the inner channel wall 125 a recirculation zone for the burnt gases issuing from the combustion chamber. The intermediary channel located between the combustion chamber for pulsatory combustion of a mixture of fuel and a combustive agent and an injection chamber includes the heat tube being directly communicated with the combustion chamber, wherein an internal wall of the intermediary channel and an outer surface of the heat tube define a recirculation zone for the recirculaton of burn gases issuing from the combustion chamber, the recirculation zone being at least partially open at an upper end thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
An intermediary channel located between a combustion chamber for pulsatory combustion of a mixture of fuel and a combustive agent and an injection chamber for the injection of said mixture, comprising: a heat tube wherein an internal wall of said intermediary channel and an outer surface of said heat tube define a recirculation zone for the recirculation of burned gases issuing from said combustion chamber, said recirculation zone being at least partially open at an upper end thereof; and wherein said intermediary channel further comprises a lower portion located in the vicinity of the combustion chamber and an upper portion located in the vicinity of the injection chamber, said heat tube being located in said lower portion; and wherein said lower and upper portions are cylindrical, the lower portion having an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of said upper portion, said upper and lower portions being connected to each other by a flange in front of which is located the upper end of said heat tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
An intermediary channel located between a combustion chamber for pulsatory combustion of a mixture of fuel and a combustive agent and an injection chamber for the injection of said mixture, comprising: a heat tube wherein an internal wall of said intermediary channel and an outer surface of said heat tube define a recirculation zone for the recirculation of burned gases issuing from said combustion chamber, said recirculation zone being at least partially open at an upper end thereof; and wherein said intermediary channel further comprises a lower portion located in the vicinity of the combustion chamber and an upper portion located in the vicinity of the injection chamber, said heat tube being located in said lower portion; and wherein said lower and upper portions are cylindrical, the lower portion having an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of said upper portion, said upper and lower portions being connected to each other by a flange in front of which is located the upper end of said heat tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 1, wherein said flange further comprises at a minimum diameter peripheral zone thereof a circular protrusion and wherein a diameter of a lowermost portion thereof is greater than the inner diameter of said heat tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 2, wherein said circular protrusion is vertically oriented.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 2, wherein said circular protrusion is inclined toward an inside portion of said heat tube.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 2, wherein said circular protrusion is inclined outwardly of said heat tube.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 3, which comprises at an upper portion thereof, a first cylindrical sleeve an outer diameter of which is smaller than an inner diameter of said heat tube and an lower edge of which forms said protrusion of said flange.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
55 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 6, further comprising a jacket and at least one ring wherein said first cylindrical sleeve is maintained in place in said jacket integral with said combustion chamber by said at least one ring and wherein said at least one ring bears on an annular flat surface of said jacket.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 7, wherein said at least one ring further comprises a first and second ring which define annular insulating spaces and which maintain said first cylindrical sleeve in position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 7, further comprising a second cylindrical sleeve wherein said first cylindrical sleeve is surrounded by said second cylindrical sleeve and wherein said first and second sleeves define an insulating jacket.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
15 words
An intermediary channel according to claim 1, wherein said flange defines a downwardly diverging space.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
105 words
An intermediary channel located between a combustion chamber for pulsatory combustion of a mixture of fuel and a combustive agent and an injection chamber for the injection of said mixture, comprising: a heat tube wherein an internal wall of said intermediary channel and an outer surface of said heat tube define a recirculation zone for the recirculation of burned gases issuing from said combustion chamber, said recirculation zone being at least partially open at an upper end thereof; and wherein said heat tube is extended at a lower end thereof by at least one pad which extends toward the central portion of said combustion chamber.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
105 words
An intermediary channel located between a combustion chamber for pulsatory combustion of a mixture of fuel and a combustive agent and an injection chamber for the injection of said mixture, comprising: a heat tube wherein an internal wall of said intermediary channel and an outer surface of said heat tube define a recirculation zone for the recirculation of burned gases issuing from said combustion chamber, said recirculation zone being at least partially open at an upper end thereof; and wherein said heat tube is extended at a lower end thereof by at least one pad which extends toward the central portion of said combustion chamber.
