摘要: A method of operating a combustor of a turbomachine on a total fuel input that contains a concentration of hydrogen that is greater than about 80% is provided. The method includes injecting a first mixture of air and a first fuel containing a first amount of hydrogen into the primary combustion zone of the combustor to generate a first flow of combustion gases having a first temperature. The method further includes injecting, with one or more premix injectors disposed downstream of the fuel nozzles, a second mixture of air and a second fuel containing a second amount of hydrogen into the secondary combustion zone of the combustor to generate a second flow of combustion gases having a second temperature. The method further includes separately injecting a third fuel into secondary combustion zone to generate a third flow of combustion gases having a third temperature.

摘要: A method of operating a gas turbine engine including a combustor. The combustor includes a combustion chamber and a plurality of fuel spray nozzles configured to inject fuel into the chamber. The nozzles include a first and second subset of fuel spray nozzles. The combustor is operable in a condition wherein the first subset is supplied with more fuel than the second. A ratio of the number of nozzles in the first subset to the second is 1:2 to 1:5. The method includes operating the engine so a reduction of 20-80% in an average of particles/kg of nvPM in the exhaust when the engine is operating at 85% available thrust for given operating conditions and when the engine is operating at 30% is obtained when fuel provided to the nozzles is a sustainable aviation fuel instead of a fossil-based hydrocarbon fuel. Also, a gas turbine engine for an aircraft.

摘要: A redundant fuel metering system and method for a multi-stage combustor that utilizes a fuel metering valve EHSV from a less critical combustor stage fuel metering system as a redundant backup to the main metering valve EHSV. In the event of a failure of the main FMV EHSV, a control module signals a transfer system to switch control of the main FMV to the less critical combustor stage fuel metering system EHSV, thus maintaining control of the FMV for the main combustor. In doing this, the transfer valve then drives the less critical combustor stage fuel metering system FMV to its failsafe position while maintaining control of the main system.

摘要: A gas turbine engine including a compressor section, a combustor for combusting a fuel, and a turbine. Compressed air flows through a combustion liner of the combustor in a bulk airflow direction. The combustor includes a primary fuel nozzle and a secondary fuel nozzle. The secondary fuel nozzle is downstream of the primary fuel nozzle in the bulk airflow direction. The primary fuel nozzle is configured to inject a primary portion of the fuel into a primary combustion zone, and the secondary fuel nozzle is configured to inject a secondary portion of the fuel into a secondary combustion zone. The secondary combustion zone is located downstream of the primary combustion zone in the bulk airflow direction. The fuel may be one of diatomic hydrogen fuel and a hydrogen enriched fuel.

摘要: A method includes delivering fuel and a first portion of oxidant as a rich mixture to the first zone of the combustion chamber. The fuel includes ammonia (NH3). The method further includes burning the rich mixture in the first zone. Combustion gases containing nitrogen oxides (NOx) are produced. The method further includes delivering a second portion of oxidant into the second zone to break down unburned ammonia into ammonia intermediates in the second zone. The nitrogen oxides (NOx) are consumed by reacting with the ammonia intermediates in the second zone. Byproduct hydrogen is produced as a result of breaking down the unburned ammonia into the ammonia intermediates. The method further includes delivering a third portion of oxidant into the third zone. The byproduct hydrogen is burned in the third zone. The third portion of oxidant is greater than the first portion of oxidant and the second portion of oxidant.
