An air swirler arrangement comprises a coaxial arrangement of an inner and an outer air swirler passage. Each air swirler passage comprises a radial flow swirler. Air swirler arrangement comprises a coaxial arrangement of first, second and third members. Second member has radially extending upstream portion spaced axially from first member and a convergent portion. Third member has a radially extending upstream portion spaced axially from the upstream portion of second member and a radially inner surface having convergent and divergent downstream portions and a radially outer surface having a divergent downstream portion. First, second and third members the vanes of the radial flow swirlers is a monolithic structure. Plurality of circumferentially spaced passages are provided within the third member and each passage has an inlet in the surface and an outlet arranged to direct fluid onto the divergent portion of the surface or the surface of the third member.

A method for assembling a fuel distribution system for a turbomachine fuel injector includes inserting a liquid fuel distributor into an interior cavity of a shroud to create a liquid fuel distribution circuit between the liquid fuel distributor and the shroud and inserting a gas fuel distributor into the interior cavity of the shroud and into an interior cavity of the liquid fuel distributor to create a gas fuel distribution circuit between the gas fuel distributor and the liquid fuel distributor. The method includes inserting a fuel transfer tube into an outer diameter of the shroud. The method includes brazing or shrink fitting at least one of the fuel transfer tube, the gas fuel distributor, or the liquid fuel distributor to the shroud.

A swirler includes a swirler body defining a longitudinal axis. A stack of swirler plates is assembled to the swirler body stacked in a direction along the longitudinal axis. Each of the swirl plates defines a vane portion. The swirler plates are mounted rotated circumferentially about the longitudinal axis relative to neighboring ones of the swirler plates so the vane portions form a swirler vane.

A surface burner for gas combustion has a burner surface which is fabricated by intertwining or interweaving an elongated flexible element across a distinct burner frame. This fabrication method can be best referred to as braiding, but also plaiting, lacing or another comparable method.

A burner device (190) comprising an air intake, a burner head (192) including an ignition device, a body section (196) defining a fluid flow channel between said air intake and said burner head (192), and a gas injector (205) for injecting combustible gas into said fluid flow channel. The burner head (192) is oriented such that its longitudinal axis is substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the channel is defined and in which fluid flows, in use, along said channel.

A method of additive manufacturing includes building a component having a top surface, attaching the component to a powder bed fusion plate that receives the component, filling the powder bed fusion chamber so the powder is flush with the top surface of the component, and adding a first layer of powdered metal level with the top surface of the component. The method of additive manufacturing also includes fusing the first layer of powdered metal to the top surface of the component to create a fusion joint, and building up an additively manufactured body from the top surface of the component in subsequent layers.

The present disclosure is directed to a burner assembly for generating a heat source. The burner assembly may include a combustion plate having a first surface and a second surface. The combustion plate may include a first plurality of holes extending from the first surface to the second surface arranged in a first circle and a second plurality of holes extending from the first surface to the second surface arranged in a second circle. The first circle and second circle may be arranged in concentric circles. The burner assembly may further be configured to have at least one of the holes having a longitudinal axis extending at a first acute angle from a plane of the combustion plate. The burner assembly may further be configured to have at least one of the holes having the longitudinal axis extending at a second acute angle from a tangent line of one of the concentric circles on the plane of the combustion plate.

A gas burner system comprising a longitudinal burner body defining a longitudinal central cavity, and a ribbon pack configured to be removably installed into the central cavity, the ribbon pack comprising: (i) at least one ribbon positioned between a first vertical wall and a second vertical wall; (ii) a first transverse arm extending horizontally outward from a first longitudinal side of the ribbon pack; (iii) a second transverse arm extending horizontally outward from a second longitudinal side of the ribbon pack, wherein the first and second transverse arms are configured to attach to the longitudinal burner body.

Method for manufacturing a gas burner of the type comprising a cup, provided with at least one tubular tapered part of a mixer with axial Venturi effect, and shaped to couple with a burner head provided with at least one flame-spreader, wherein said cup is made in a single piece by casting or die-casting in an apposite mold. Such a method comprises, in sequence, the following steps: a) arranging a mold with at least two shells, for casting or die-casting the afore said cup; b) arranging at least one core which could be removably inserted into the respective mold, which has at feast one jutting portion shaped with at least one tubular tapered part of the stickle of the afore said mixer with axial Venturi effect; c) inserting such a core into the mold and closing the afore said at least two mold shells so that the afore said at least one jutting portion of the core is retained, at least partially, at a distance from the opposite inner walls of the closed mold; the core and the mold being shaped so that at least one ending part of such a core replaces, at least partially, part of the perimetrical area of the cup defined by the mold; d) pouring or pressure-injecting molten metal material into the closed mold; e) opening the mold, drawing out the afore said core and then removing the die formed cup after the metal material is solidified; f) applying at least one closing plug to the side hole (or side holes) of the die formed cup which corresponds/correspond to the ending part of the core which replaced part of the perimetrical area of the cup in the mold.
