  • Combustion chamber assembly in a gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 5479774
    Abstract: Overrich regions of fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine are dispersed by a jet of air directed into the region. Plumes of fuel/air mixture from adjacent airspray burners overlap to create overrich regions which tend to produce soot. Aligned apertures in the head of the combustion chamber direct jets of high pressure air at the regions with as little loss of momentum as possible, to disperse them. The apertures may be in the form of slots to provide fan-shaped jets.
