Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the formation of a nitrogen oxide and at the same time improve the durability of an injector and combustion equipment. SOLUTION: A fuel injector 10 for gas turbine engine includes a scroll 18 where an edge part forms an entrance slot 36, and the slot 36 guides primary combustion air, along a tangential direction, into a mixing room 28 that is bounded by edge plates 14 and 16 being separated from the scroll 18 in the longitudinal direction. A row of fuel injection channels 42 is extended over the length of the slot 36. The injector 10 also includes a center body 48 with a wide tip part 54 for discharging flame. The center body 48 prevents combustion flame from flowing into the mixing room 28 and improves the durability of the combustion equipment 10 by discharging flame when it flows in. Also, by controlling a fuel being discharged through the injection channel 42, the capacity for the center body 48 to discharge flame can be improved and at the same time the flame can be stabilized spatially.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an acoustic effect for guiding excess combustor pressure change in a gas turbine engine. SOLUTION: Fuel-air mixture is burnt in a combustor at a downstream of an outlet surface 124 of a fuel nozzle 10. Recirculating regions 200, 300 generated by the nozzle 10 in all operating states of the engine are disposed at an interval to the surface 124, and the combustion product is isolated from the fuel and air of a mixing region 28 of the nozzle 10.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the discharging amount of NOx of a combustor for a gas turbine engine and optimize the spatial temperature profile of exhaust gas. SOLUTION: Rows of combustion air inlets are provided on the inside liner 32 of a combustion chamber 36 and the circumferential direction of an outside liner 34. The row of combustion air inlets in the outside liner 34 is provided with a primary outside inlets 116 having a large size and small-sized secondary inside inlets 118 between mutually neighbored primary outside inlets 116. The primary injection stream of combustion air penetrates inside radially by the primary outside inlets 116 while the secondary injection stream of the combustion air penetrates inside radially by a small distance by the secondary inside inlets 118 whereby the primary injection stream is compensated. The primary inside inlets 120 is separated radially from the primary outside inlets. The injection stream of combustion air penetrates outside radially by the primary inside inlets 120. The inside inlets and the outside inlets are distributed in such a manner whereby fuel is mixed perfectly into air.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase an operating life when a tangential inlet fuel nozzle is used for a gas turbine engine. SOLUTION: A tangential inlet fuel nozzle 10 has a combustor inlet port 20 for allowing discharge of the air and fuel into a combustor. This port 20 has a convergent surface 116, a combustor surface 122 and a cylindrical surface 118 extended between these surfaces. The surface 116 is extended at a first distance 126 along a longitudinal axis 26 of the nozzle 10. The surface 118 is extended at a second distance 128 along the axis 26, and the distance 128 is at least 30% of the first distance 126.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To displace a flame moved to a mixing region of a fuel nozzle by reducing a trend of stabilizing a burning flame in the nozzle. SOLUTION: Air inlet slots 36, 38 are formed between superposed ends of two offset cylindrical arc-like scroll members 22, 24 of a tangential air inlet fuel nozzle 10. An end plate 18 has a combustor inlet port 20, and the other end plate 16 seals a flowing region of the nozzle. The members 22, 24 are fixed between the end plates. A central body 12 is provided between the members coaxial with a longitudinal axis 26. The body has a base 58 and an inner passage 64. The base 58 has at least one air supply hole extended through the base. The body 12 has a truncated conical part 86 and an aerodynamic ramp, which prevent backflow and flame stability between the end plates.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the trend that a flame is stabilized in the tangential inlet nozzle of a gas turbine engine. SOLUTION: Fuel and the air are mixed in the mixing section 28 of a fuel nozzle 10 to produce a fuel/air mixture which is isolated from combustion products by sustaining the axial velocity through the mixing section 28 at a sufficiently high level and combining the face of an internal passage 64 of a central body 12 (supplied or not supplied with fuel) with the face of a burner inlet port 20.
Abstract:
A bulkhead panel is disclosed. The bulkhead panel may comprise a body having a body having a front surface and an opposite back surface, a fuel nozzle opening in the body and communicating through the front and back surfaces, and a plurality of effusion holes disposed in at least one row that surrounds and is generally concentric to the fuel nozzle opening. Each effusion hole may extend from the back surface to the front surface at an incline angle. Each effusion hole may be positioned at a clock angle from a reference line radially extending from a center of the fuel nozzle opening through a center of the effusion hole.

Abstract:
A liner panel for use in a combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a forward region including a multiple of effusion passages each directed at an orientation consistent with a local swirl direction of combustion gases. Another liner panel for use in a combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a forward region forward of a dilution passage and an aft region aft of the forward region. The forward region includes a multiple of effusion passages each directed generally circumferentially. The aft region includes a multiple of effusion passages each directed at an orientation generally axially. A method of cooling a wall assembly within a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes orienting a multiple of effusion passages within a forward region consistent with a local swirl direction of combustion gases.
