Abstract:
A lean burn fuel injector has a head which has a coaxial arrangement of an inner pilot air-blast fuel injector and an outer main air-blast fuel injector. The pilot fuel injector comprises coaxially arranged inner and outer air swirler passages. The main fuel injector comprises coaxially arranged inner and outer air swirler passages. A first splitter is arranged between the passages. The first splitter has a conical divergent downstream portion. A second splitter is arranged radially within and spaced from the first splitter. The second splitter has a conical convergent portion and a conical divergent downstream portion. The downstream end of the second splitter is upstream of the downstream end of the first splitter. A connecting member connects the downstream end of the second splitter and the downstream portion of the first splitter upstream of the downstream end of the first splitter to form a sharp edge.
