The purge passage is in fluid communication with an inlet flow plenum and with a plurality of premix tubes of the fuel nozzle assembly.

The present disclosure is directed to a dual-fuel fuel nozzle including a center body having a tube shape and a gas fuel plenum defined within the center body. The fuel nozzle also includes a plurality of turning vanes extending radially outward from the center body. Each turning vane includes at least one fuel port in fluid communication with the gas fuel plenum. A plurality of apertures is disposed through the plurality of turning vanes. The fuel nozzle further includes a ring manifold disposed within the center body downstream of the plurality of turning vanes. Additionally, the fuel nozzle includes a first fuel tube extending helically around a centerline of the center body. Furthermore, the fuel nozzle includes an air shield disposed within the center body and extending circumferentially around the first fuel tube.

A crossfire tube to pass a flame from a combustor chamber of a first combustor to a combustor chamber of a second combustor adjacent to the first combustor is provided. The crossfire tube includes a first insertion pipe configured to connect an inner liner and an outer liner of the first combustor, the inner liner defining the combustion chamber and the outer liner surrounding the inner liner, a second insertion pipe configured to connect an inner liner and an outer liner of a liner of the second combustor, and a connection pipe disposed between the first combustor and the second combustor and connected to the first insertion pipe and the second insertion pipe at respective ends thereof so that the combustion chamber of the first combustor communicates with the combustion chamber of the second combustor via the connection pipe.

A segmented annular combustion system includes integrated combustor nozzles, each of which has a fuel injection panel disposed radially between an inner liner segment and an outer liner segment. The fuel injection panel includes an aft end portion, a first side wall, a second side wall, premixing channels defined between the first side wall and the side wall, and injection outlets defined along at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall. The aft end portion defines a turbine nozzle portion. An interior portion between the first side wall and the second side wall includes walls that extend between the first and second side walls, thereby partitioning the interior portion into discrete air cavities. The liner segments may be cooled by micro-channel cooling passages, which may be fluidly coupled to a collection trough.

A segmented annular combustion system includes integrated combustor nozzles, each of which has a fuel injection panel disposed radially between an inner liner segment and an outer liner segment. An aft end portion of the fuel injection panel defines a turbine nozzle. One or more hook plates attached to the outer surfaces of the liner segments are used to mount the integrated combustor nozzle to an inner mounting ring or an outer mounting ring. A mounting strut or mounting tenon(s) attached to the liner segments may also be employed.

A heat engine including a wall assembly is generally provided. The wall assembly includes a plurality of radial walls coupled together via a connecting member. The radial wall defines a flow opening therethrough. A flow cavity is defined between the plurality of radial walls and the connecting member.

The present disclosure is directed to a radially stacked fuel injection module for a segmented annular combustion system. The fuel injection module includes a bundled tube fuel nozzle portion and a plurality of fuel injection lances. In one instance, a first set of fuel injection lances and a second set of fuel injection lances share a housing with the bundled tube fuel nozzle. The first and second sets of fuel injection lances are radially stacked, each set of lances being in communication with a respective injector fuel plenum. The fuel injection lances deliver fuel to a respective premixing channel formed between the side walls of an integrated combustor nozzle, an aft end of which defines a turbine nozzle. In another instance, the bundled tube fuel nozzle may be provided as a radially inner fuel nozzle and a radially outer fuel nozzle, each with a respective bundled tube fuel plenum.

A combustor for a gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine defining a longitudinal centerline extending in a longitudinal direction, a radial direction extending orthogonally outward from the longitudinal centerline, and a circumferential direction extending concentrically around the longitudinal centerline, the combustor including: a forward liner segment; an aft liner segment disposed downstream from the forward liner segment relative to a direction of flow through the combustor, the forward and aft liner segments at least partially defining a combustion chamber; and an intermediate member disposed at least partially between the forward and aft liner segments and extending in the circumferential direction.

Provided is a burner of double tube structure including an outer tube and an inner tube. The inner tube includes a tip-side support portion fixed on the outer tube, a base-side support portion fixed on the outer tube, a main body portion supported by the tip-side support portion, bellows interposed between the main body portion and the base-side support portion, and a bulkhead member attached at a position between the tip-side support portion and the base-side support portion. Between an outer peripheral surface of the bulkhead member and an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube, a second gap smaller than a first gap between an outermost peripheral surface of the bellows and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube is interposed.
