Abstract
A gas injection system includes a tubular wall 3 capable of being thermally stressed and having a proximal extremity and a distal extremity 11, at the distal extremity, at least one extremity opening through which at least one gas is projected. A cooling is system located in the tubular wall including axial channels 12 which extend axially towards the distal extremity and in which a cooling fluid is circulated. Connecting channels 13 circumferentially join the axial channels to each other at the distal extremity of the tubular wall. The connecting channels, which circumferentially join the axial channels at the distal extremity of the tubular wall, have a rounded shape in the direction of the distal extremity.
Claims13
A gas injection system comprising:
- a tubular wall having a proximal extremity and a distal extremity,
- the distal extremity, at least one extremity opening through which at least one gas is projected, and
- a cooling system located in said tubular wall and comprising axial channels which, between a proximal terminal and a distal terminal, extend axially towards said distal extremity of the tubular wall and in which a cooling fluid is circulated, connecting channels circumferentially joining the axial channels to each other at the distal terminal, the connecting channels having a rounded shape in the direction of the distal extremity of the tubular wall, passage channels circumferentially joining the axial channels having a rounded shape in an opposite direction to the distal extremity of the tubular wall,
- wherein said tubular wall is monobloc, wherein said axial channels pass axially through the monobloc tubular wall which has, at the distal terminal of the axial channels, a circumferential groove,
- a closing crown closing the circumferential groove of the monobloc tubular wall, wherein said rounded connecting channels are arranged between said circumferential groove and said closing crown.
