Fuel spray nozzle for generating a spray of atomised liquid fuel in a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The nozzle includes a flow circuit that has in flow series: a gallery that receives fuel flow, plural circumferentially-spaced restrictor passages arranged in a row around the nozzle, plural conditioning passages configured to impart a circumferential component to their respective portions of the fuel flow, and an annular spin chamber which forms a swirling fuel flow which is discharged at an exit port. The restrictor passages form flow restrictions which in use produce a pressure differential between the gallery and the spin chamber to evenly circumferentially distribute the fuel flow between the restrictor passages. The conditioning passages have increased flow cross-sectional areas relative to the flow cross-sectional areas of the restrictor passages, such that the restrictor passages produce substantially all of the pressure differential between the gallery and the spin chamber.

A nozzle, a combustor, and a gas turbine are capable of uniformly pre-mixing fuel and air. The nozzle includes an integrated swirler comprising an inner tube configured to provide a first pre-mixing passage through which pre-mixed air flows, an outer tube configured to partially enclose the inner tube and form an outer fuel passage through which fuel flows, and a plurality of vanes coupled with the outer tube, each vane having an exhaust hole through which fuel exits; a fuel injector including an inner fuel passage through which fuel flows and being configured to be inserted into the inner tube of the integrated swirler; and a peg having an outer surface in which are formed a plurality of injection holes communicating with the inner fuel passage, the injection holes configured to inject the fuel of the inner fuel passage into the first pre-mixing passage.

An airblast injector for gas turbines is disclosed. The airblast injector assembly consists of fuel swirler, a swirler cup, and a combustor dome. The airblast injector is designed to improve engine performance without using a fuel staging system to incorporate pressure injectors. The swirler cup is provided with pressurized air which exits the swirler cup with high velocity that penetrates perpendicularly into the fuel spray cone obtained by orifices in the fuel swirler.

Disclosed are a fuel nozzle assembly, and a fuel nozzle module and gas turbine having the same. The fuel nozzle assembly includes a fuel nozzle, a shroud spaced apart from the fuel nozzle and defining a flow path between an inner wall and the fuel nozzle, a rim formed around the shroud to guide air, and a turning guide spaced apart from the rim to distribute the air. The turning guide includes a turning separator spaced apart from the rim to extend in a circumferential direction of the rim, and inner separators extending in a radial direction of the rim to interconnect opposite circumferential ends of the turning separator and an outer surface of the fuel nozzle. The fuel nozzle assembly prevents air pockets, and ensures uniform supply of air, thereby preventing a local increase in combustion temperature inside the fuel nozzle and reducing generation of NOx.

An inlet manifold includes a main inlet oriented along a first direction and a pilot inlet oriented along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A wye passage includes an inlet branch in fluid communication with the main inlet. The inlet manifold also includes a first main passage in fluid communication with a first outlet branch of the wye passage and a second main passage in fluid communication with a second outlet branch of the wye passage. The first main passage extends generally along the first direction between the wye passage and a first main outlet. The second main passage extends generally along the first direction between the wye passage and a second main outlet. The inlet manifold also includes a pilot passage in fluid communication with the pilot inlet. The pilot passage extends generally along the first direction between the pilot inlet and a pilot outlet.

A liquid fuel injector includes a cylindrical center body including a center axis, an annular shroud concentrically disposed outside the center body, an annular fuel injection body disposed between and concentrically with the center body and the shroud, and including a fuel passage formed therein, a plurality of inner swirl vanes that are arranged in an equal cycle in an inner air passage between the center body and the fuel injection body, and are provided with an inner swirl vane action surface on an upstream side, a plurality of outer swirl vanes that are arranged in an equal cycle in an outer air passage between the fuel injection body and the shroud, and an outer swirl vane action surface on the upstream side.

A fuel gas nozzle used in a microturbine includes a first chamber, a second chamber connected to the first chamber, a pilot fuel gas pipe, a main fuel gas pipe and an intake pipe. An intake zone and a mixing zone are respectively formed in the first chamber and the second chamber and are communicated with each other. The pilot fuel gas pipe is for introducing a first fuel gas into a downstream of the second chamber. The main fuel gas pipe is for introducing a second fuel gas into the mixing zone via the intake zone. The intake pipe is for introducing an air into the mixing zone. A centerline of the intake pipe is not intersected with a centerline of the second chamber, so as to induce a vortex flow field of the air flowing into the mixing zone for mixing the air and the second fuel gas.

A main mixer including a swirler along an axis, the swirler including an outer swirler with a multiple of outer vanes, and a center swirler with a multiple of center vanes and a swirler hub along the axis, the swirler hub including a fuel manifold and an inner swirler with a multiple of inner vanes that support a centerbody, the multiple of inner vanes interconnect the fuel manifold and the centerbody.

A fuel injector for a turbomachine includes an inner heat shield having an air cavity wall defining an air cavity for allowing air to flow therethrough. The inner heat shield includes an integral air swirler forming a downstream end thereof. The integral air swirler extends in an axially downstream direction at least as far as a fuel distribution channel defined on or in a fuel distributor of the injector to direct airflow at an outlet of the fuel distributor.

An injector of a radial fuel injection system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler; and a fuel nozzle located within the swirler, the fuel nozzle located within the swirler, the fuel nozzle operable to provide a biased radial fuel distribution within the swirler. A method of controlling a fuel flow to a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes selectively controlling a biased radial fuel distribution within a swirler of a radial fuel injection system.
