  • Variable frequency Helmholtz dampers
    Patent number: 11230974
    Abstract: The present application provides a variable frequency Helmholtz damper system for use with a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The variable frequency Helmholtz damper system may include one or more Helmholtz dampers and a purge medium temperature control unit for providing a flow of purge medium to the Helmholtz dampers. The purge medium temperature control unit may be in communication with a temperature control fluid flow such that the purge medium temperature control unit may vary the temperature of the flow of purge medium.
    Type: Grant

  • Pilot nozzle with inline premixing
    Patent number: 10823420
    Abstract: A burner for a combustor of a turbomachine includes a pilot nozzle with inline premixing. The pilot nozzle is formed in an aft end of the burner. An air inlet is formed in a forward end of the burner in fluid communication with the pilot nozzle. A mixing channel extends along the axial direction between the air inlet and the pilot nozzle such that the air inlet is in fluid communication with the pilot nozzle via the mixing channel. An annular fuel plenum extends along the circumferential direction. A fuel port is in fluid communication with the annular fuel plenum and the mixing channel, the fuel port includes an outlet configured to inject fuel into the mixing channel such that a shear flow is induced.
