A solid state spark device that operates as a two terminal spark gap in a CDI exciter of an aircraft ignition system. The device includes a triggering transformer, a triggering circuit, and a control circuit. The triggering circuit is electrically connected to a first coil of the transformer and includes circuit elements connected to supply current to the first coil upon charging of the triggering circuit up to a triggering voltage. This current through the first coil of the triggering transformer induces an output in a second coil of the transformer. The control circuit is electrically connected to the second coil and includes a switch controlled by the output from the second coil. The switch, when activated by the triggering circuit, discharges energy from the exciter into an igniter of the aircraft ignition system.

An apparatus comprises a series switching logic 202 configured to receive an input signal. When the series switching logic receives the input signal, the series switching logic transmits an output signal. The apparatus further comprises a relay control switch 204 configured to receive the output signal from the series switching logic and configured to activate a series-parallel relay 108. When the output signal from the series switching logic is received, the relay control switch activates the series- parallel relay that configures a first battery 104 and a second battery 106 between a series and parallel connection. The series switching logic is further configured to detect the presence of an external power source or an on-board generator, and the series switching logic is precluded from transmitting the output signal to the relay control switch when an external power source or on-board generator is detected.

A pilot fuel nozzle for a combustor includes an igniter forming a central body extending along a longitudinal center of the nozzle. A nozzle tip includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced fuel passages and a plurality of circumferentially spaced air passages extending to an outer side of the nozzle tip. The central body extends through a center of the nozzle tip for producing a spark to ignite a fuel/air mixture adjacent to the nozzle tip. A plurality of fuel tubes extend along the central body, each of the fuel tubes having an outlet end engaged on the nozzle tip for delivery of fuel from the nozzle tip into a combustion chamber of the combustor An outer sleeve surrounds the fuel tubes and defines an annular space in fluid communication with the air passages of the nozzle tip between the outer sleeve and the central body.

A series battery start controller (110) for starting an aircraft turbine engine (102) and method (400) thereof is provided, wherein the battery series start controller (110) connects two batteries (104, 106) in series when an aircraft engine starter (114) is engaged to provide a higher voltage to start the aircraft engine (102) and to provide adequate operational voltage to aircraft engine instruments and other aircraft electrical systems, and wherein the battery series start controller (110) reconnects the batteries (104, 106) in parallel when the electrical load drawn by the starting aircraft engine (102) decreases and the supplied voltage to the aircraft (100) rises to a predetermined threshold.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a combustion chamber for a gas turbine. The combustion chamber comprises a pilot burner device, a fuel injector (102) and an ignitor unit (103). The pilot burner device comprises a pilot body (100) with a pilot surface (101) which is facing an inner volume of the combustion chamber. The fuel injector (102) comprises a fuel outlet for injecting a fuel into the inner volume. The ignitor unit (103) is adapted for igniting the fuel inside the inner volume, wherein the ignitor unit (103) is arranged at the pilot surface (101) such that fuel which passes the ignitor unit (103) is ignitable. The pilot body (100) comprises a recess (501), wherein the fuel outlet is arranged within the recess (501).
