    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a combustor system to reduce an amount of nitrogen oxide emissions formed by the gas turbine engine. The combustor system includes a combustor including a first annular dome. A centerbody is secured within the dome and includes at least one orifice for supplying fuel to the dome. An inner swirler is attached to the centerbody and an outer swirler is attached radially outward from the inner swirler such that a leading edge of the inner swirler and a leading edge of the centerbody are disposed upstream from a leading edge of the outer swirler.

    摘要: A system and method for flame stabilization is provided that forestalls incipient lean blow out by improving flame stabilization. A combustor profile is selected that maintains desired levels of power output while minimizing or eliminating overboard air bleed and minimizing emissions. The selected combustor profile maintains average shaft power in a range of from approximately 50% up to full power while eliminating overboard air bleed in maintaining such power settings. Embodiments allow for a combustor to operate with acceptable emissions at lower flame temperature. Because the combustor can operate at lower bulk flame temperatures during part power operation, the usage of inefficient overboard bleed can be reduced or even eliminated.
