  • Gas turbine engine fuel injector with an inner heat shield
    Patent number: 9618209
    Abstract: A fuel injector for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The fuel injector includes a gas outer tube, a gas inner tube, a liquid tube, and a heat shield. The gas outer tube and the gas inner tube form a gas fuel annulus. The gas inner tube and the liquid tube form a liquid fuel annulus. The liquid tube forms an air cavity. The heat shield extends within the liquid tube forming an insulating gap between the heat shield and the liquid tube.

  • ROBUST INSULATED FUEL INJECTOR FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
    Publication number: 20160116168
    Abstract: A fuel injector for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The fuel injector includes a flange, a fitting boss, a stem, a gas fuel passage, a gas fuel fitting, and a gas heat shield. The fitting boss protrudes from the flange. The stem extends from the flange. The gas fuel passage extends through the stem. The gas fuel fitting is joined to the fitting boss. The gas heat shield extends from the gas fuel fitting at least partially through the gas fuel passage. The gas heat shield is sized to form a gas heat shield gap between the gas heat shield and the stem at the gas fuel passage.
