    摘要: An embodiment of a combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a combustor case, a combustor liner disposed within the combustor case, a fuel nozzle, and a torch igniter within the combustor case. The torch igniter includes a combustion chamber, a cap defining the upstream end of the combustion chamber and configured to receive a fuel injector and a surface igniter, a tip defining the downstream end of the combustion chamber, an annular igniter wall extending from the cap to the tip and defining a radial extent of the combustion chamber, a structural wall coaxial with and surrounding the igniter wall, and an outlet passage within the tip that fluidly connects the combustion chamber to the combustor. The torch igniter is situated such that the tip is mounted through the combustor liner, the combustion chamber is within the combustor case, and the cap extends through the combustor case.

    摘要: The present teachings generally include improvements to gas turbines for increasing performance and/or efficiency thereof. In an aspect, a gas turbine system featuring a free turbine includes an injector structurally configured to supply liquid water between a last stage turbine rotor of the gas turbine and a last stage turbine rotor of the free turbine. In this manner, heat transferred from combustion gases to the liquid water may cause vaporization of the water. In turn, one or more of (i) a pressure increase from the vaporization of the water and (ii) an increase in mass flow rate across a free turbine rotor from the addition of the water into the system may increase power output of the free turbine. Thus, in some aspects, power output can be increased without the need for an increase in fuel consumption.

    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.
