Patent number: 6453676Abstract: A structure of a 50 pound thrust level gas turbine jet engine combustor is a small type 50 pound gas turbine jet engine combustor. The combustor includes a combustor outer liner, a combustor inner liner and a hub. Pressure swirl fuel atomizer and thin film cooling devices are further used. In the combustor, a primary jet flow is matched with a jet tube so as to build a stable recirculation in the primary zone. 12 SIMPLEX fuel atomizers are installed in the inner liner for jetting fuel radially. The fuel must be jetted properly, if it is too close the front plate, the droplet will impact the front plate, then the downstream will possible destroy the recirculation structure. Therefore, if the fuel is jetted in proper positions, then the retaining time of fuel will be reduced greatly and the burning in the primary zone can be enhances. By analyzing and testing, it is appreciated that high temperature will induce at the middle section near the wall of the inner liner.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2000Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Wu-Chi Ho, Ling-Chia Weng, Tzeng-Wuu Wey

Patent number: 6405536Abstract: A gas turbine combustor burning LBTU fuel gas serves to be applied to the combustion system of a small turbogenerator. The combustion system is composed of a combustor outer case, a combustor liner, a combustor transition section, a radial swirler with adjustable blades and fuel supply passages. The small turbogenerator (10 KW) with the redesigned combustion system is integrated by a LBTU gas generator. A recirculation bubble with proper size and strength is aerodynamically formed by the interaction among the swirling air jet, inclined fuel jet and the primary jets. Since an adjustable swirler is installed, the swirl number of the swirling air jet can be modified to meet the requirements of combustion load sharing and burning different LBTU fuel gases. To eliminate the possible hot spots and thus reduce the pattern factor value, two rows of cooling jet holes are arranged in the rear section of the combustor.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2000Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Inventors: Wu-Chi Ho, Ling-Chia Weng, Henry Jan

Patent number: 5782079Abstract: A miniture liquid-fueled turbojet engine for powering remote control model aeroplane or light pilotless aircraft includes a plural number of tiny pressure-swirl type atomizers for thoroughly atomizing liquid fuel and a V-gutter flame holder. High combustion efficiency and satisfactory outlet temperature pattern factor can be obtained in the present combustion system of the engine. This is because the system possesses the characteristics such as fine spray of liquid fuel, long residence time of fuel droplets, efficient flame holding mechanism and good mixing in the dilution region. As a result, safety and maneuverability of the present engine can be enhanced in comparison with the engines of prior art.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1997Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Hsiao-Wei D.
