  • Fuel nozzle with hemispherical dome air inlet
    Patent number: 9810427
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for directing a supply of compressed air into a fuel nozzle assembly for mixing with a fuel source. The apparatus comprises a fuel nozzle assembly having a plurality of coaxial tubes and radially-extending swirler vanes for directing a supply of fuel to a mixing tube. Compressed air is directed to flow in a primarily axial direction by passing through a hemispherically-shaped dome portion at an air inlet region of the fuel nozzle assembly. The hemispherically-shaped dome includes a plurality of openings for directing air into the fuel nozzle assembly in a direction having a radial and axial component.

  • Fuel Nozzle With Multiple Flow Divider Air Inlet
    Publication number: 20160281978
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for directing a supply of compressed air into a fuel nozzle assembly for mixing with a fuel source. The apparatus comprises a fuel nozzle assembly having one or more coaxial flow dividers and radially-extending swirler vanes for directing a supply of fuel to a mixing tube. Compressed air is directed to flow in a primarily axial direction by passing through one or more coaxial flow dividers spaced axially and radially about the air inlet region of the fuel nozzle assembly so as to form a non-uniform radial distribution of compressed air to the inlet region of the fuel nozzle assembly.
