  • Internal fuel manifold with turned channel having a variable cross-sectional area
    Patent number: 7607226
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an internal manifold of a gas turbine engine including machining an annular channel in a ring by a turning process, and varying a position of a tool bit relative to the surface of the ring as a function of a relative circumferential location of the tool bit around the ring such that the channel has a cross-sectional area that varies around a circumference of the ring.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2009
    Assignee: Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.

  • Variable arc gap plasma igniter
    Publication number: 20060175306
    Abstract: A variable arc gap plasma igniter element includes electrodes moveable relative to each other. The electrodes are preferably set to define a smaller air gap to initiate a plasma arc and later extended to obtain longer plasma arc.
