  • GAS FLOW INJECTOR AND METHOD OF INJECTING GAS INTO A COMBUSTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20090084346
    Abstract: An improved gas flow injector has been developed for use in a combustion system. The gas flow injector has an inner nozzle with tubular configuration for directing a first gas stream to a location distal to the gas flow injector. The inner nozzle has an outlet end portion and a longitudinal central axis. Disposed about the inner nozzle is an outer nozzle having a tubular configuration, for directing a second gas stream to a location proximal to the gas flow injector. A diverter is mounted to the outlet end portion of the inner nozzle and extends at least partially into the second gas stream. The diverter has a surface disposed at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal central axis of the inner nozzle to redirect at least a portion of the second gas stream in a direction transverse to the longitudinal central axis. Also disclosed is a method of injecting a gas into a combustion system using the gas flow injector of this invention.
