    摘要: A fuel burner system (10) configured to inject a liquid fuel and a gas fuel into a combustor (12) of a turbine engine (14) such that the engine (14) may operate on the combustion of both fuel sources (20, 24) is disclosed. The fuel burner system (10) may be formed from a nozzle cap (16) including one or more first fuel injection ports (18) in fluid communication with a first fuel source (20) of syngas and one or more second fuel injection ports (22) in fluid communication with a second fuel source (24) of natural gas. The fuel burner system (10) may also include an oil lance (26) with one or more oil injection passages (28) that is in fluid communication with at least one oil source (30) and is configured to emit oil into the combustor (12). The oil lance (26) may include one or more fluid injection passages (32) configured to emit air to break up the oil spray and water to cool the combustor (12), or both.

    摘要: A sealing arrangement in a gas turbine engine to seal a gap between first and second turbine components is provided. The sealing arrangement includes a first arcuate feather seal connected to an anchoring assembly of the sealing arrangement affixed to the first turbine component. A second arcuate feather seal is affixed to the second turbine component. The first arcuate feather seal and the second arcuate feather seal are responsive to a pressure differential that develops across the gap to form a pressure-loaded sealing joint between respective sealing surfaces of the first arcuate feather seal and the second arcuate feather seal. The sealing arrangement provides substantial design flexibility since it can reliably provide appropriate sealing functionality while enabling multiple degrees of freedom, such as to accommodate radial and/or axial displacements that can develop between the first turbine component and the second turbine component.
