Abstract

1357533 Combustion equipment for gas turbine engines JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd 18 Oct 1971 [11 Sept 1970] 43510/70 Headings F4T TH5A2 and TH5C The invention relates to combustion equipment for a gas turbine engine of the kind comprising an annular outer casing 10 having an annular flame tube 12 disposed therein, the flame tube having radially directed air inlet openings 21 through which air flows to form upstream and downstream toroidal vortex zones 22, 23, there being means 24 to supply fuel to the vortex zones. The flame tube shown is formed with air inlet openings 18, 19, 20 which have baffles such as 18a, 19a associated therewith so that air-flow therethrough acts to enhance the vortical flows 22, 23. Further air inlet openings 27 are provided downstream of the openings 21, air being guided into the openings by means of baffles 28 projecting into the air-flow passages 14. The fuel injection means 24 comprises pairs of fuel nozzles which discharge as indicated at 25, 26, the injector 25 being a pilot fuel injector which discharges into the upstream toroidal region 22. In Fig. 2 a fuel vaporizing system is utilized comprising an air inlet duct 34 formed with a radially projecting outlet 37 through which air and vaporized fuel are discharged into the downstream toroidal region 33, and an air inlet duct 35 formed adjacent the duct 34 and terminating in upstreamdirected outlets (39), 40 through which air and vaporized fuel are directed into the upstream toroidal region 32. In a further embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), a vaporizing type fuel injector is again utilized being disposed centrally of the flame tube, one outlet discharging radially into the downstream toroidal region and the other discharging in an upstream direction into the upstream toroidal region. In a further embodiment Fig. 8, the fuel vaporizer 50 projects radially into the flame tube and terminates in two outlets 55, 56 directed radially outwards, a baffle 57 being disposed within the vaporizer whereby two streams of air and vaporized fuel discharge from the vaporizer, one stream being directed into the downstream toroidal vortex and the other stream being directed into the upstream toroidal vortex.
