  • Liquid fuel spraybar
    Patent number: 4751815
    Abstract: A fuel spraybar (16) having an elongated, closed housing (26) discharges fuel from a plurality of openings (32) into an exhaust gas stream (12). A first fuel conduit (34) conducts liquid fuel through the housing (26) and into an annular volume (38) formed therebetween. The fuel, heated by contact with the housing (26) is vaporized in the annulus (38) for preferentially discharging liquid fuel (18) in an axial pilot zone (40) within the gas stream (12).
