  • Gas turbine engine mixing duct and method to start the engine
    Patent number: 8769960
    Abstract: A combustion chamber device having a field static pressure gradient adapted to expel a flame kernel or hot spot from a fuel-air mixing duct. The swirling flow passing through an annular mixing duct is turned from a radial direction to an axial direction before entering the combustion chamber. An ignition source located within the fuel-air mixing duct can then be used to start the combustion process in the gas turbine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2005
    Date of Patent: July 8, 2014
    Assignee: Rolls-Royce Canada, Ltd
