摘要:
There is described an apparatus for modifying the content of a gaseous fuel comprising: a supply of the gaseous fuel; a supply of an oxidant; and a combustion device for utilising the oxidant to partially combust a first proportion of the fuel thereby to produce products of the partial combustion including intermediate combustion products, the products of the partial combustion mixing with the remaining proportion of fuel not partially combusted thereby to provide the modified fuel, wherein the partial combustion is controlled so as to provide the intermediate combustion products required to produce a predetermined modified fuel.

A burner for a gas-turbine engine has a frustoconical burner shell, at least two swirler arrangements, which are connected to the shell and are spaced apart around the circumference of the shell between its two ends, and a combustion chamber disposed downstream of a wider end of the shell. Each of the swirler arrangements includes an air swirler and a pre-combustion chamber disposed downstream of the air swirler, and a longitudinal axis of each swirler arrangement intersects a line parallel to, and spaced apart from, the longitudinal axis of the shell. The swirler arrangements are preferably connected to the shell at the same axial point.

Disclosed is a swirler for use in a burner of a gas turbine engine, the swirler comprising a plurality of vanes arranged in a circle, flow slots being defined between adjacent vanes in the circle, each flow slot having an inlet end and an outlet end, in use of the swirler a flow of fuel and air travelling along each flow slot from its inlet end to its outlet end such that the swirler provides a swirling mix of the fuel and air, at least one vane having an edge adjacent an inlet end of a flow slot configured to generate within the flow slot one or more flow vortices that extend along the slot thereby to enhance mixing of the fuel and air travelling along the slot.

The invention is related to a gas turbine pre-mix combustion system comprising: at least one combustor with a combustor wall partly surrounding a combustion zone; at least one mixing duct including an air passage leading to an outlet opening being open towards the combustion zone; and one or more fuel injection openings leading into the air passage and connecting it to one or more fuel supply passages so as to allow the injection of fuel into air flowing through the air passage. The locations of at least two outlet openings or at least two sections of a single outlet opening and the orientation of downstream sections of the respective air passages or air passage are chosen such that fuel/air mixtures flowing out of the outlet openings or said sections of a single outlet opening show opposed flow paths so as to impinge on each other in the combustion zone.
摘要:
A fuel injector comprising: a fuel supply conduit for conveying fuel from a base end of the fuel injector to a tip end of the injector; a nozzle at the tip end of the injector for injecting the fuel into a combustion chamber; thermal conductor means for conducting heat from said nozzle at the tip end of the injector to the base end of the injector to cool the nozzle; and a housing for said fuel supply conduit, said nozzle and said thermal conductor means, wherein said thermal conductor means is thermally insulated from said fuel supply conduit between said tip and base ends of the injector.
摘要:
A combustor for a gas-turbine engine including a burner head, a combustion chamber disposed downstream of the burner head, a swirler for creating a swirling flow of air in the combustion chamber, and a fuel nozzle disposed in the burner head. The fuel nozzle is disposed giving rise to a first angle of exit of the fuel from a downstream face of the burner head of >±0° with respect to a longitudinal axis of the combustor, this first angle lying in a first plane passing through the longitudinal axis. The fuel also exits at a second angle from the downstream face of >±0° with respect to the first plane, the second angle lying in a second plane orthogonal to the first plane.

A gas turbine burner, comprising at least one swirler, the swirler having at least one air inlet opening, at least one air outlet opening positioned downstream to the air inlet opening and at least one swirler air passage extending from the at least one air inlet opening to the at least one air outlet opening which is delimited by swirler air passage walls; a fuel injection system which comprises fuel injection openings arranged in at least one swirler air passage wall so as to inject fuel into the swirler air passage; and an air injection system which comprises air injection openings arranged in at least one swirler air passage wall and positioned downstream of the fuel injection openings for injecting air into the swirler air passage.
摘要:
A method of determining the diameter of a hole extending from a surface of an electrically conducting workpiece into or through the workpiece 1 is provided. The hole is defied at the workpiece's surface by an edge of diameter to be determined. For determining the diameter, the workpiece is electrically charged so that discharge occurs at the edges. The discharge current is measured and the diameter of the hole is determined from the measured discharge current.
