摘要:
A combustor (10) including: a first premix main burner (14) comprising a first swirler airfoil section (38); a second premix main burner (15) comprising a second swirler airfoil section (40); and a supply air reversing region upstream of the premix burners (14), (15). The first swirler airfoil section (38) and the second swirler airfoil section (40) are effective to impart swirl to a first airflow and a second airflow characterized by a same swirl number as the airflows exit respective burners (14), (15). The combustor (10) is effective to generate a first airflow volume through the first premix main burner (14) that is different than a second airflow volume through the second premix main burner (15).

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for injecting reagent, such as an aqueous urea solution, into an exhaust stream in order to reduce emissions from an engine exhaust. The present teachings can use a whirl plate having a plurality of whirl slots surrounding an exit orifice of an injector, which produce a high velocity rotating flow in the whirl chamber. When the rotating flow of reagent is passed through the exit orifice into an exhaust stream, atomization occurs from a combination of centrifugal force and shearing of the reagent by air as it jets into the exhaust stream.

摘要:
An improved gas turbine combustor (20) including a basket (26) and a multiplicity of micro openings (29) arrayed across an inlet wall (27) for passage of a fuel/air mixture for ignition within the combustor. The openings preferably have a diameter on the order of the quenching diameter; i.e. the port diameter for which the flame is self-extinguishing, which is a function of the fuel mixture, temperature and pressure. The basket may have a curved rectangular shape that approximates the shape of the curved rectangular shape of the intake manifolds of the turbine.
摘要:
A gas turbine engine (202) including a secondary fuel stage (218) which also functions as a dual frequency resonator. The engine includes a combustor (210) and a casing (205) enclosing the combustor to define a volume (214). The secondary fuel stage includes a nozzle (217) sized to be effective as a transverse resonator at a high frequency. The nozzle and the volume (214) of the casing are sized to be effective as a longitudinal resonator at an intermediate frequency.
摘要:
A pilot burner (150, 350) for a gas turbine engine delivers an inner non-swirling fuel-oxidant mixture surrounded by an outer swirling fuel-oxidant mixture, thereby providing enhanced mixing with no recirculation zone. At least one fluid-restricting inlet port (166, 366) provides an oxidant to an inner mixing passage (160, 360). The inner mixing passage (160, 360) includes a plurality of fuel outlets (168). An outer annular mixing passage (180) receives oxidant from an upstream port (181) surrounding the inner mixing passage and includes at least one swirler element (186, 386) and fuel outlets (188).

摘要:
A method and apparatus for assembling an exhaust treatment device such as a catalytic converter employs post calibration to achieve a desired bulk gap density of a support mat surrounding a substrate in the device housing. The mat is gauged under pressure to a thickness yielding the target bulk gap density and the pressure is saved for use in comprising the device housing against the mat after soft stuffing of the mat/substrate subassembly into the housing.
