COMBUSTOR HAVING FUEL SWEEPING STRUCTURES

A combustor includes an end cover and at least one fuel nozzle extending from the end cover and at least partially surrounded by a combustion liner. The combustor further includes an outer sleeve spaced apart from and surrounding the combustion liner such that an annulus is defined therebetween. The combustor further includes a fuel injection assembly. The fuel injection assembly includes a fuel injector that extends through the outer sleeve, the annulus, and the combustion liner to the secondary combustion zone. A fuel supply conduit positioned outside of the outer sleeve. The fuel supply conduit extending to the fuel injector. A shielding assembly coupled to the outer sleeve and at least partially surrounding the fuel supply conduit. The at least one fuel sweep opening is defined in the outer sleeve and disposed within the shielding assembly.

BURNER WITH TORCH IGNITION MECHANISM AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF

In a burner of an embodiment, a torch part includes: a torch combustor liner that is provided in a torch part casing and burns a fuel and an oxidant; a torch fuel supply part that supplies a fuel; a torch oxidant supply part that supplies an oxidant; an ignition device that ignites a fuel-air mixture; and a combustion gas pipe that is arranged at the center of the torch part and leads a combustion gas in the torch combustor liner to one end side of the torch part. A main fuel-main oxidant supply part includes: a main fuel supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the torch part; and a main oxidant supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the main fuel supply passage.

LEAK DETECTION FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID SYSTEMS
20220397479 · 2022-12-15 · ·

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a fluid system of an aircraft includes a primary fluid conduit that conveys a primary fluid, and a leak detection system disposed around at least a portion of the primary fluid conduit and forming one or more detection volumes. The leak detection system determines whether there is a primary fluid leak into the one or more detection volumes by sensing a pressure change in the one or more detection volumes.
