FUEL-AIR BURNER FOR GAS-TURBINE ENGINE COMBUSTION CHAMBER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: gas-turbine engines.

SUBSTANCE: proposed fuel-air burner has fuel injector in the form of body with fuel feed and spray holes as well as axial- and tangential-flow air swirlers, air flow regulator disposed between rear side of injector body and inlet end of axial-flow swirler that forms slit duct together with its inlet end. Axial- and tangential-flow air swirlers are made in the form of open-end channels accommodating blades and each is provided with converging-diverging nozzle having internal and external channel walls. External channel wall of converging part of axial-flow swirler nozzle has curvature inverse relative to internal channel wall of tangential-flow swirler nozzle. Diverging part of axial-flow swirler is made in the form of cone whose vertex is disposed upstream of nozzle critical section. Angle between burner axis and generating line of cone is 30 to 90 deg. Critical section of axial-flow swirler converging-diverging nozzle is disposed upstream of point of intersection between external channel wall and fuel spray cone generating line.

EFFECT: reduced emission of pollutants in exhaust gases, improved starting characteristics and fuel economic efficiency, enhanced reliability of combustion chamber.
