Abstract: A fuel supply system for a gas turbine engine comprises a housing having a housing interior chamber and a fuel swirler disposed inside the housing interior chamber. The fuel swirler has an upstream end and downstream end relative to a fuel flow direction along a fuel nozzle longitudinal axis. The fuel swirler has a first axial fuel passage along the longitudinal axis in fluid communication with a first fuel supply and terminating at a first fuel outlet at the downstream end, a second axial fuel passage along the longitudinal axis in fluid communication with a second fuel supply and terminating at a second fuel outlet at the downstream end, and a plurality of compressed air outlets at the downstream end. The first fuel outlet is positioned on an outermost surface of the fuel swirler and leads directly to a mixing site downstream of the fuel swirler.

Abstract: A multi-seal coupling for fluidly interconnecting a first component and a second component within a hydrogen fuel supply system of a gas turbine engine includes a female joint portion and a male joint portion. A first seal, a second seal and a third seal, all of which are hydrogen fuel seals, are formed between the male joint portion and the female joint portion. The first seal is formed by face-to-face abutting contact between a first axially-facing surface of the male joint portion and an axially-facing surface of the female joint portion. The second seal is formed by a gasket axially compressed between the first axially-facing surface of the male joint portion and the female joint portion. The third seal is formed by a sealant ring disposed between a second axially-facing surface of the male joint portion and an adjacent surface of the female joint portion.
