Abstract:
A liquid fuel cartridge for a gas turbine fuel nozzle includes a tube having an inlet end and an outlet end with one or more fuel exit orifices; and a homogenizer located within the tube, adjacent and up-stream of the outlet end. The homogenizer is formed by a substantially-cylindrical body open at opposite ends, and a first row of circumferentially-spaced flanges projecting radially outwardly from the substantially cylindrical body, with radially-outer edges of said flanges engaged with an interior surface of the tube thereby creating a plurality of apertures for a liquid fuel and water emulsion. The homogenizer body may also be provided with a plurality of circumferentially-spaced radially-oriented orifices to promote better mixing of the fuel/water emulsion.
