  • Publication number: 20060021349
    Abstract: To improve the burning efficiency of fuel supplied to a turbine engine by electronic fuel injectors under control of a fuel injection control system, a nebulizer of unique design is employed with the fuel injectors to further reduce the individual fuel cell size from that provided by the pulsing of fuel from the fuel injector. At least one nebulizer is used with at least one fuel injector, having means for injecting fuel in pulses into the nebulizer and thence into the combustion chamber of a turbine engine, and an electronic control unit to receive and interpret input sensor signals from selected operating functions of the engine and to generate and direct fuel injection signals to modify the pulse duration and/or frequency of fuel injection in response to a deviation from a selected operating function, such as the desired operating speed, caused by variable operating loads encountered by the turbine engine.
