    摘要: A fuel delivery system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine including a primary fuel tank configured to store a primary fuel, a secondary fuel tank configured to store a secondary fuel, a swirler configured to produce a main flame within a combustion chamber of the combustor, and a fuel nozzle configured to produce a pilot flame within the combustion chamber of the combustor. The fuel nozzle includes a nozzle outlet that is located proximate to an end of the swirler or at the end of the swirler, the end of the swirler being located at an inlet of the combustor. The fuel delivery system also includes a primary fuel line fluidly connecting the primary fuel tank to the fuel nozzle and a secondary fuel line fluidly connecting the secondary fuel tank to the swirler.

    摘要: A water delivery system (18) for delivering water for injection into gas turbine engine combustor (4) includes a centrifugal pump (19) and a metering valve (23). The centrifugal pump (19) has an inlet (20) connected to a water source and a discharge (21) connected to a water supply line (22). The metering valve (23) is connected to the water supply line (22) downstream of the discharge (21) of the centrifugal pump (19). The water supply line (22) is connected to an injector nozzle (14) downstream of the metering valve (23). The metering valve (23) is operable to regulate a flow rate of water in the water supply line (22), to thereby meter an amount of water supplied to the injector nozzle (14).
