A self-pumping fuel injector includes a pump and a motor for, in-part, delivering fuel to a combustor at higher fuel pressures during start-up and ramping-up conditions. Each pump may include a stationary flow interuptor that intermittently and variably supplies fuel to a rotating spindle that, in-turn, expels the fuel into a nozzle of the injector for improve fuel spray distributions.

A fuel nozzle includes a main cylinder extending in one direction; an auxiliary cylinder surrounding the main cylinder and defining a fuel passage between the auxiliary cylinder and the main cylinder; a shroud spaced that is apart from the auxiliary cylinder and surrounds the auxiliary cylinder; a swirler vane that is disposed between the auxiliary cylinder and the shroud and defines a fuel cavity communicating with the fuel passage so that fuel flowing in the fuel passage flows into the fuel cavity; and a fuel flow guide disposed inside the fuel cavity to guide fuel that flows from the fuel passage and enters the fuel cavity and to distribute the guided fuel in the fuel cavity. A fuel aperture is formed in the swirler vane to communicate with the fuel passage and the fuel cavity so that the fuel flows into the fuel cavity via the fuel aperture.

A method for controlling a catalytic combustion apparatus having a heater capable of heating fuel to be supplied to a catalyst includes a step of supplying oxidant gas to the catalytic combustion apparatus, and an injection step of injecting the fuel into the catalytic combustion apparatus. The injection step also includes an electric power feeding step of supplying electric power to the heater, and a setting step of setting an injection amount of the fuel to be injected into the catalytic combustion apparatus in response to output of the heater.

A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine includes a feed arm defining a conduit extending between an inlet end and an outlet end and a plunger. The plunger is disposed within the conduit and is movable between a plunger first position and a plunger second position. A flow area defined between the plunger and the feed arm is smaller in the plunger first position than in the plunger second position to bias fuel flow through the fuel injector. Fuel systems, gas turbine engines, and methods of controlling fuel flow in gas turbine engine fuel systems are also described.
