    摘要: The engine described herein utilizes an internal low pressure near the nozzle to draw fluid through a center section/duct of the engine and therefore through an upstream, cold, turbine. The fluid moving through this center duct-section experiences a pressure differential between the zone of the incoming fluid (which raises pressure upstream) and the low pressure zone generated near the nozzle. With fast-moving fluid around each side of this cold turbine duct, inducing a Venturi effect on the fluid passing through the duct, a low pressure is generated and therefore enacts work on the turbine. Using this method, turbine blades are not down stream of the hot combustion section and therefore can be made with light weight and low melting temperature material. With a cold section turbine, the engine can therefore be considerably lighter and cheaper to manufacture and maintain.

    摘要: An annular dome assembly for a combustor. The annular dome assembly includes an annular dome including one or more dome panels defining the annular dome. A first dome panel includes a dome upstream surface and a dome downstream surface opposite the dome upstream surface. One or more dome arms extend from the dome upstream surface. One or more apertures extend from the dome upstream surface to the dome downstream surface. The annular dome assembly also includes a deflector assembly including one or more deflector panels defining the deflector assembly. A first deflector panel includes a deflector upstream surface and a deflector downstream surface opposite the deflector upstream surface. One or more deflector arms extend from the deflector upstream surface. Each of the one or more deflector arms are mounted within a respective aperture of the annular dome.

    摘要: A system includes an annular track that surrounds the turbomachine. The annular track includes an upper rail portion and a lower rail portion removably coupled to one another. The system further includes a drive assembly operably coupled to the annular track. The drive assembly includes a drive chain that extends along the annular track. The system further includes a plurality of carts rotatably coupled to the annular track and connected to the drive chain such that operation of the drive assembly alters a circumferential position of the plurality of carts with respect to an axial centerline of the turbomachine. The system further includes a plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies each coupled to a respective cart of the plurality of carts. Each combustion can cradle assembly of the plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies is configured to removably couple to a combustion can of the one or more combustion cans.

    摘要: A fuel burner includes a tube extending from a first end to a second end and having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a central passage. The central passage is supplied at the first end with a mixture of air and combustible fuel pre-mixed upstream of the tube. The second end is closed by an end wall in a fluid-tight manner. The tube includes fluid directing structure for directing the pre-mixed mixture radially outward from the central passage to an exterior of the tube such that the pre-mixed mixture rotates radially about the central axis along the exterior of the tube.
