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: Various embodiments include a trapped vortex combustor and a method for operating trapped vortex combustor. In one embodiment, the trapped vortex combustor comprises a trapped vortex combustion zone and at least one secondary combustion zone disposed downstream of the trapped vortex combustion zone. The trapped vortex combustion zone is operable to receive and combust a first fuel and a first air and produce a first combustion product flowing toroidally therein. The at least one secondary combustion zone is operable to receive and combust the first combustion product and at least one second injection consisting of fuel and/or air and produce at least one second combustion product therein. The combustor may reduce the residence time of the highest temperature combustion products and achieve the lower NOx emission.

摘要: A disclosed turbine engine assembly includes a core engine assembly generating an exhaust gas flow and a thermal compressor where the exhaust gas flow from the core engine is received and compressed. The thermal compressor includes a converging duct that recompresses the exhaust gas flow that is mixed with fuel in a secondary combustor and ignited to generate a reheated gas flow.

摘要: There is provided a method of operating a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine comprises a staged combustor having an arrangement of fuel spray nozzles in which fuel flow is biased to a subset of the nozzles adjacent one or more ignitors during a re-light procedure. The method comprises transferring heat from the oil to the fuel before the fuel enters the combustor so as to lower the fuel viscosity to 0.58 mm2/s or lower on entry to the combustor at cruise conditions. Also disclosed is a gas turbine engine.

摘要: A method of operating a gas turbine engine having a lean burn staged combustion system having a combustor in which fuel is combusted. The gas turbine engine includes a fuel-oil heat exchanger arranged to transfer heat between oil and fuel that is provided to the combustor. The method includes transferring heat from the oil to the fuel before the fuel enters the combustor so as to lower the fuel viscosity to 0.58 mm2/s or lower on entry to the combustor at cruise conditions.

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.

摘要: A system includes an injector having a scheduling valve assembly and a nozzle in fluid communication with the valve assembly. The scheduling valve assembly is configured for regulation of flow from an inlet of the injector to the nozzle. The injector includes two fluid circuits between the inlet of the injector and two respective outlets of the nozzle for staged flow output from the nozzle. A first one of the two fluid circuits is a primary circuit, and a second one of the two fluid circuits is a secondary circuit. A solenoid valve is connected in fluid communication with the scheduling valve assembly, wherein the solenoid valve is configured to adjust position of a hydromechanical valve spool of the valve assembly.
