  • Publication number: 20040000148
    Abstract: A recuperated gas turbine engine is disclosed, comprising: a heat exchanger, and gas turbine (including compressor, can-type combustor and turbine); wherein, said heat exchanger comprises a compressed air passageway and a turbine exhaust gas passageway adjacent to each other within the casing which extend spirally throughout said heat exchanger and towards an inner cylindrical chamber in which said combustor is positioned approximately to the center of said casing. Improved engine fuel efficiency is achieved by preheating the compressed air before it reaches the combustor with the higher-temperature exhaust gas. A can-type combustor is used for alleviating heat-dissipation issues to improve efficiency of the combustion. A concentric back-to-back rotor arrangement significantly shortens the length of a conventional engine turbine rotor which improves on the operational stability of a gas turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 6186417
    Abstract: A front plunger pressure-swirl atomizer is disclosed, which is applied to a fuel atomizer of a micro gas turbine engine and includes a nozzle cap, a central plunger swirler, a central plunger fastening barrel. The front plunger pressure-swirl atomizer is installed at the seat of an engine. The present invention has the advantages of occupying a smaller space, only needing a small operating pressure, a simple flow channel structure, and fewer components, being easily assembled and a superior atomizing property. Therefore, the defects, such as complex finishing process of flow channel and difficult to be assembled, in the prior art are improved effectively.
