A fuel injector assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a centerbody extended along a lengthwise direction, the centerbody defining a first fuel nozzle, and an annular shroud defining a second fuel nozzle directly surrounding the centerbody and extended along the lengthwise direction. A passage is defined through the annular shroud and extended generally along the lengthwise direction. The passage defines an exit opening disposed at a downstream end adjacent to the combustion chamber and in fluid communication therewith. The annular shroud defines a fuel inlet opening disposed at an upstream end of the passage. The annular shroud defines an air inlet opening in fluid communication with the passage. The air inlet opening is disposed between the fuel inlet opening and the exit opening.

A premix burner made up of an air inlet tube of length L and a single specific gas injection, the gas injection includes an upstream gas injector, a mixer, a downstream gas injection situated at a distance L3 from an upstream end of the air inlet tube and a stabilizing element, where the gas injection constitutes a one-piece mechanical assembly that ensures a self-stable elementary flame.

A dual-fuel fuel nozzle includes a centerbody that at least partially defines an air plenum therein. A tip body is disposed at a downstream end of the centerbody. The tip body includes an upstream side that is axially spaced from a downstream side. The downstream side defines a circular slot and a circular recess that is positioned radially inwardly from the circular slot. The circular recess includes a floor and a side wall, The floor defines an insert opening and the side wall defines an annular groove that includes an undercut surface. The tip body further defines a plurality of orifices annularly arranged around the insert opening radially inward from the side wall of the circular recess. Each orifice includes an inlet that is in fluid communication with the air plenum and an outlet that is oriented towards the undercut surface.

A gravity-style furnace subunit for a gas-induced draft furnace. A heat conduction tube configured to be located inside of a gas-induced draft furnace cabinet, the heat conduction tube being separated from a row of draft-induced heat conduction tubes inside the cabinet. A burner assembly having a burner tube located within the heat conduction tube through an inlet opening of the heat conduction tube. The burner assembly permits air flow through the inlet opening into the heat conduction tube. A pilot assembly located within the heat conduction tube and adjacent to the burner tube. A thermopile module having located adjacent to a flame outlet of the pilot assembly within the heat conduction tube. A gas valve configured to control gas flow to the burner assembly, the gas valve electrically coupled to the thermopile module and to actuate gas flow there-through when the thermopile module generates a predefined voltage difference.

A method for operating a premix burner for gaseous fuels having a multi-stage pilot gas system whose diffusion fuel is injected into a flame chamber of the premix burner as at least two partial streams with different orientations, and a premix burner for carrying out the method.

A pre-film liquid fuel cartridge (20) includes a primary liquid fuel passage (106), a plurality of inner fuel ports (116) and a plurality of outer fuel ports (124) that are in fluid communication with the primary liquid fuel passage. An inner pre-filming surface (142) is defined downstream from the plurality of inner fuel ports. The inner pre-filming surface (142) terminates at a first shear edge (140). An outer pre-filming surface (152) is defined downstream from the plurality of outer fuel ports. The outer pre-filming surface (152) terminates at a second shear edge (154). The first and second shear edges are relatively oriented so that a first pre-filmed liquid fuel sheet exiting the first shear edge intersects with a second pre-filmed liquid fuel sheet exiting the second shear edge, thereby atomizing the first and second pre-filmed liquid fuel sheets.

A system and method for reducing emissions from a boiler. A boiler generally has a combustion area. The system further includes a fuel pipe for delivering fuel. The system further includes a conduit. A bore extends through the conduit. The bore of the conduit is in fluid communication with the fuel pipe and the combustion area of the boiler. A pre-ignition source is positioned in the conduit. The pre-ignition source operates to pre-ignite at least a portion of the fuel flowing through the conduit.

A premix burner made up of an air inlet tube of length L and a single specific gas injection, the gas injection includes an upstream gas injector, a mixer, a downstream gas injection situated at a distance L3 from an upstream end of the air inlet tube and a stabilizing element, where the gas injection constitutes a one-piece mechanical assembly that ensures a self-stable elementary flame.

A gas turbine combustor includes a casing coupled to a main housing; a liner having formed inside a combustion chamber that extends in an axial direction, an upstream portion including a head portion of the liner accommodated in the casing, and a downstream portion accommodated in the main housing; a main burner provided at the head portion of the liner; a supplemental burner including an injection port located in an air passage formed between the liner and the casing, the supplemental burner configured to inject an air-fuel mixture in which supplemental burning fuel containing hydrogen and the compressed air taken into the supplemental burner through the space formed between the liner and the casing are mixed; and a duct including an entrance connected to the injection port of the supplemental burner and an exit which opens in the combustion chamber, the duct extends in parallel with the axial direction.

The present disclosure is directed to a fuel injector assembly and a gas turbine engine including the fuel injector assembly. The fuel injector assembly includes a centerbody extended along a lengthwise direction. The centerbody defines a first fuel nozzle. An annular shroud defining a second fuel nozzle surrounds the centerbody and is extended along the lengthwise direction. A passage is defined through the annular shroud and extended generally along the lengthwise direction. The passage defines an exit opening disposed at a downstream end adjacent to the combustion chamber and in fluid communication therewith. The annular shroud defines a fuel inlet opening disposed at an upstream end of the passage. The annular shroud further defines an air inlet opening in fluid communication with the passage. The air inlet opening is disposed between the fuel inlet opening and the exit opening.
