Abstract: An arrangement for injection of an emulsion of a first fluid and a second fluid into a flame of a burner has a central gas duct, an outer gas channel disposed coaxially with the gas duct, and a fluid channel disposed coaxially between the gas duct and the outer gas channel. The central gas duct and the fluid channel are separated by a first frustoconical wall. The fluid channel and the outer gas channel are separated by a second frustoconical wall. The arrangement is mounted concentrically surrounding a heat source which provides through the gas duct hot gases being directed into the flame of the burner. Further, the arrangement includes a mixing device for forming an emulsion of the first fluid and the second fluid, for supplying the emulsion into the fluid channel and for injecting the emulsion from the fluid channel into the flame.

Abstract: A burner for a gas turbine is provided. The burner has a pilot combustor, a supply module providing pilot fuel and air into a pilot combustion room enclosed by a pilot burner housing having a tapered exit throat discharging radicals and heat generated in a pilot combustion zone into a main combustion room. An equalizer has holes for main flow air entering a cavity in a radial direction with regard to a burner axis defined by centers of pilot combustion zone and main combustion zone. A fuel injector is downstream the equalizer to supply flow fuel into flow air. A swirler is downstream the injector to give flow distribution to the flow fuel and air entering the main combustion room. A channel leads from the equalizer to the swirler arranged circumferentially around the pilot burner housing to direct the main air flow from the equalizer in axial and circumferential direction.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to burners for gas turbine engines that use a pilot flame to assist in sustaining and stabilizing the combustion process. An embodiment of the disclosed burners includes, inter alia, a burner housing, a pilot combustor and a quencher. The burner housing has axially opposed upstream and downstream end portions. Additionally, the housing has at least one main fuel inlet passage and at least one main air inlet passage which are adapted to supply fuel and air respectively to an internal chamber defined in the housing. The pilot combustor is disposed along the axis of the burner housing and has an inlet for receiving a rich fuel and air mixture, a combustion chamber within which the rich fuel and air mixture is combusted into combustion products, and an outlet for exhausting the combustion products from the combustion chamber. The quencher is disposed within the internal chamber of the burner housing along the central axis and positioned at the outlet of the pilot combustor.

Abstract: An airblast fuel injector assembly for use in conjunction with a gas turbine is disclosed which includes an elongated tubular body having first and second concentric tubes separated from one another by a helical spacer wire so as to define a fuel passage therebetween. The injector assembly is situated such that fuel flow exiting the fuel passage is intersected by an air flow at a predetermined angle of incidence so as to atomize the fuel flow.
