A nozzle includes a nozzle body defining a longitudinal axis (A). The nozzle body includes an air passage (104) having a radial swirler and a converging conical cross-section. A fuel circuit (106) is radially outboard from the air passage (104) with respect to the longitudinal axis. The fuel circuit (106) extends from a fuel circuit inlet to a fuel circuit annular outlet (110). The fuel circuit (106) includes a plurality of helical passages (112) to mitigate gravitational effects at low fuel flow rates. Each helical passage (112) of the fuel circuit (106) opens tangentially with respect to the fuel circuit annular outlet (110) into an outlet (114) of the air passage (104).

A swirler (104; 200; 302) for inducing swirl on a liquid flow includes a swirler body (130; 314) defining a downstream end (134; 308) and an upstream end (132; 306); a plurality of axial slots (144; 206; 310) on an external surface of the swirler body (130; 314), each of the plurality of axial slots (144; 206; 310) having a slot entrance (150; 202; 312a) and a slot exit (126; 204; 312b); and a slot relief (146) at the slot exit (126; 204; 312b). Each of the plurality of axial slots (144; 206; 310) are helical and configured to impart swirl on the liquid flow as the liquid flow traverses through each of the slots (144; 206; 310).

The present invention is directed to a staged fuel injector that includes, inter alia , a main fuel circuit for delivering fuel to a main fuel atomizer and a pilot fuel circuit for delivering fuel to a pilot fuel atomizer which is located radially inward of the main fuel atomizer. The main fuel atomizer includes a radially outer prefilmer and a radially inner fuel swirler. Portions of the main fuel circuit are formed in the prefilmer and portions of the pilot fuel circuit are formed in the prefilmer and the fuel swirler and are positioned proximate to and in thermal contact with fuel exit ports associated with the main fuel circuit and formed in the prefilmer. As a result, the pilot fuel circuit cools the stagnant fuel located in main fuel circuit, including the exit ports, even when performing at engine power levels of up to 60% of the maximum take-off thrust.

An injector (100) for a multipoint combustor system includes an inner air swirler (102) which defines an interior flow passage (104) and a plurality of swirler inlet ports (106) in an upstream portion thereof. The inlet ports are configured and adapted to impart swirl on flow in the interior flow passage. An outer air cap (110) is mounted outboard of the inner swirler. A fuel passage (112) is defined between the inner air swirler and the outer air cap, and includes a discharge outlet (114)between downstream portions (116, 118) of the inner air swirler and the outer air cap for issuing fuel for combustion. The outer air cap defines an outer air circuit configured for substantially unswirled injection of compressor discharge air outboard of the interior flow passage.
摘要:
A nozzle includes an inlet at an upstream end of the nozzle, a discharge outlet at a downstream end of the nozzle, and a fluid delivery passage extending between the inlet and the discharge outlet. Exterior and interior walls of the nozzle have downstream tip ends that are relatively longitudinally movable at one or more interfaces. An internal insulating gap is interposed between the interior and exterior walls to insulate fuel from ambient temperature conditions exterior to the nozzle. One or more flexible seal structures internal to the nozzle isolate a portion of the insulating gap from any ambient fluid entering into the gap through the one or more interfaces while providing relative movement between interior and exterior walls of the nozzle.

A combustor (16) comprises an annular combustor chamber formed between inner and outer liners (20, 30). Fuel nozzles each have an end in fluid communication with the annular combustor chamber to inject fuel in the annular combustor chamber, the fuel nozzles oriented to inject fuel in a fuel flow direction having an axial component relative to the central axis of the annular combustor chamber. A plurality of nozzle air holes (22, 32) are defined through the inner liner (20) and the outer liner (30) adjacent to and downstream of the fuel nozzles. The nozzle air holes (22, 32) are configured for high pressure air to be injected from an exterior of the liners (20, 30) through the nozzle air holes (22, 32) generally radially into the annular combustor chamber. A central axis of the nozzle air holes has a tangential component relative to the central axis of the annular combustor chamber.
