Patent ID: 6915640

Claim:
A method for supplying fuel to a combustion chamber comprising: providing at least one main injector ( 3 ) and at least one pilot injector ( 2 ), with a first flow of fuel being supplied to the pilot injector during start-up of the combustion chamber via a first regulator valve ( 7 ), and wherein a second flow of fuel, which is substantially smaller than the first flow of fuel, is supplied to the pilot injector ( 2 ) in order to achieve a specific operating state, distinct from start-up, via a second regulator valve ( 9 ) which is designed to regulate a substantially smaller flow than the first regulator valve ( 7 ); and arranging the first regulator valve ( 7 ) to convey the first flow of fuel to the main injector ( 3 ) via a directional valve ( 11 ) when the combustion chamber is intended to be driven at an intermediate or high load state.
