摘要: A fuel nozzle for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a body defining an axial direction and a radial direction, a primary air passageway centrally defined axially in the body, and a plurality of concentrically-arranged nozzle tip projections disposed at a downstream portion of the body. Each of the plurality of nozzle tip projections has a radially inwardly facing fuel filming surface communicating with respective fuel passages. The fuel filming surfaces are disposed radially outwardly of an outlet of the primary air passageway. A method for delivering fuel from a fuel nozzle of a combustor of a gas turbine engine is also presented.

摘要: A fuel nozzle for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a body defining an axial direction and a radial direction, an air passageway defined axially in the body, and a fuel passageway defined axially in the body radially outwardly from the air passageway. The air passageway has a swirl-inducing relief defined at an exit lip of an outer wall of the air passageway. A gas turbine engine and a method of inducing swirl in an air passageway of a fuel nozzle of a gas turbine engine are also presented.

摘要: A method of inducing swirl in pressurized air flowing through an air passageway of a fuel nozzle of a gas turbine engine includes inducing swirl in the pressurized air at an exit of the air passageway, by directing the pressurised air through helicoidal grooves formed at a downstream end of the air passageway. The swirling pressurized air exiting the air passageway is then directed into a mixing zone at a downstream end of the fuel nozzle.

摘要: A method for delivering fuel from a fuel nozzle of a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes directing fuel from a fuel source through a flow splitter to provide at least two concentric fuel flows, filming the concentric two fuel flows on concentrically arranged inwardly facing filming surfaces that are disposed downstream of the flow splitter, and atomizing the concentric fuel flows into a core air flow.

摘要: A method and an apparatus for reducing airflow leakage between a combustor liner and a rail of a heat shield mounted to an inner surface of the combustor liner. The method comprises locally deforming the combustor liner in sealing engagement with the rail by applying a pressure on the outer surface of the combustor liner over the rail of the heat shield. A tool, such as a sealing clip, may be mounted in pressing engagement with the outer surface of the combustor liner to apply forces locally on the liner over the rail of the heat shield.

摘要: A seal for sealing a combustor heat shield against an interior surface of a combustor shell, the seal comprising: a first sealing surface on the interior surface of the combustor shell; and a second sealing surface on a rail on an edge of a heat shield, wherein each of the first and second sealing surfaces include first and second projections defining a non-linear leakage path between the projections.

摘要: Herein provided are systems and methods for operating an aircraft engine during inclement weather. At least one image of a location substantially in line with a heading of the aircraft is acquired. Based on the at least one image, an inclement weather condition in the location is detected. An alert mode of the engine is triggered upon detecting the inclement weather condition. Responsive to the alert mode being triggered, at least one predetermined performance parameter of the engine is monitored. Upon detecting a change in the at least one predetermined performance parameter beyond a predetermined threshold, at least one operating condition of the engine is altered.
