  • Fuel-air premixing system for a catalytic combustor
    Patent number: 7093445
    Abstract: Disclosed is a unique fuel and air premixing system for a gas turbine catalytic combustion system. The mixer utilizes a multi-channel counter-rotating swirler with aerodynamically shaped fuel pegs located upstream of the swirler. The premixing system provides the downstream catalyst with a fuel-air mixture sufficiently uniform for proper catalyst operation and wide operating limits. Features have been incorporated in the system to make it resistant to flameholding.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2006
    Assignee: Catalytica Energy Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Anthony Corr, II, Tim Caron, John Barnes
