    摘要: A gas turbine engine (20) is provided having an axial centerline (22), a compressor section (30), a turbine section (34), and a combustor section (32). The turbine section (34) has a turbine first vane assembly (64) that includes an annular first vane inner radial support (100). The combustor section (32) has an outer casing (56), an annular combustor (35), and a unitary inner diffuser structure (66). The annular combustor (35) has an inner radial flange (80). The unitary inner diffuser structure (66) includes a compressor discharge (58), an inner diffuser case (60), and a tangential onboard injector (TOBI) (62) inseparably attached to one another. The unitary inner diffuser structure (66) further includes an outer radial flange (82) and a TOBI connection flange (88). The annular FV inner radial support (100), the combustor inner radial flange (80), and the TOBI connection flange (88) are secured to one another.

    摘要: A system includes an engine case (102) for a gas turbine engine defined around a longitudinal axis. A combustor (108) is housed in the space inside the engine case (102). The combustor (108) includes an inner annular wall (110) and an outer annular wall (112) radially outboard from the inner annular wall (110). The inner annular wall (110) includes a first rail (114) on an upstream end thereof with a radially outward opening slot (116). The outer annular wall (112) includes a second rail (118) on an upstream end thereof. The combustor (108) includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart dome liners extending from the first rail (114) to the second rail (118). A plurality of fuel injector components (122) can be assembled across the first and second rails to form a combustor dome together with the dome liners at an upstream end of a combustion space defined between the inner and outer annular walls of the combustor (108).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine (20) includes an annular combustion chamber (40) and an injector ring (42) that is configured to introduce a hydrogen and gas mixture into the combustion chamber (40). The injector ring (42) may include a hydrogen manifold cavity (52), hydrogen feed conduits (54) that extend off of the hydrogen manifold cavity (52) and open into a mixing region (56) at an axial end of the injector ring (42), and gas feed conduits (60) that also open into the mixing region (56) to supply gas that mixes with the hydrogen. The hydrogen feed conduits (54) may be tangentially-sloped, and the gas feed conduits (60) may be radially and tangentially sloped.

    摘要: A turbine engine (10) including a combustor (34) with a combustor liner (38, 138) having dilution openings (62, 76, 78) and a geometry that changes along an axial direction. The combustor further having a baffle (70, 170, 270, 370) surrounding a combustor liner (38, 138) defining a combustion chamber (46) of the combustor. A method for controlling nitrogen oxides within the combustor, including injecting compressed air into the annular combustion chamber (46) through any of the dilution openings (62, 76, 78) described herein.
