FUEL NOZZLE, AND COMBUSTOR AND GAS TURBINE HAVING THE SAME
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.
Variable fluid flow apparatus with integrated filter
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fluid flow trim apparatus includes an outer housing defining a cavity having an interior surface and an end wall having an orifice therethrough, a valve body comprising a first valve portion disposed at least partly within the cavity, the first valve portion and the interior surface defining a first fluid flow path, a second valve portion in contact with the interior surface and defining a second fluid flow path. A third valve portion is disposed at least partly within the cavity between the first and second valve portions. The second fluid flow path fluidically connects the third valve portion to a trim cavity. A filter media extends from the first valve portion to the second valve portion and divides a third fluid flow path fluidically connecting the first and seconds fluid flow paths.

SELF-PUMPING FUEL INJECTOR FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE AND METHOD OF OPERATION
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.
MULTIPHASE FUEL INJECTOR
A multiphase fuel injector has an injector body with a fuel inlet at a first end and a fuel outlet at a second end opposite the first end. A primary circuit disposed proximate the fuel inlet extends into a central portion of the injector body. The primary circuit is configured to receive a first flow of pressurized fuel from the fuel inlet that discharges into a spin chamber in the injector body downstream from the fuel inlet. The primary circuit is configured to impart a swirling action to the first flow of pressurized fuel. A secondary circuit is located in the injector body radially outward from the primary circuit. The secondary circuit is configured to receive a second flow of pressurized fuel from the fuel inlet that discharges into the fuel outlet. The secondary circuit is configured to impart a swirling action to the second flow of pressurized fuel.
Control method for a catalytic combustion apparatus and a catalytic combustion system
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.

JET BURNER
A jet burner of the present disclosure basically includes a burner unit and an air blower disposed at a rear end of a burning chamber of the burner unit, wherein the burner unit is installed with a fuel bucket for storing fuel and the burning chamber having a tubular shape. Interior of the burning chamber is installed with a least one nozzle, at least one fuel pipe coupled to the fuel bucket is installed at each the nozzle, a front end of the burning chamber is installed with at least one jet pipe, and a pipe diameter of each the jet pipe is less than an inner diameter of the burning chamber. Under the reaction of the jet pipe, the burning stay time of the fuel in the interior of the burning chamber is increased, as to achieve the objective of increasing the fuel burning efficiency.
BOOSTER BURNER
A booster burner of the present disclosure basically has a burning unit, an air blower disposed at a rear end of a burning chamber of the burning unit and a high-pressure gas providing unit; wherein the burning unit has a fuel bucket for storing fuel and a burning chamber having a tubular shape, interior of the burning chamber has at least one nozzle, at least one fuel tube coupled to the fuel bucket is disposed at each the nozzle; and the high-pressure gas supplying unit has a gas storage bucket for storing high-pressure gas, each the nozzle is installed with a high-pressure pipe coupled to the gas storage bucket. Through the high-pressure gas, the slight atomization and acceleration effect is applied to the fuel which enters the nozzle, such that fuel molecules are refined and more completely burned, and the objective of increasing the fuel burning efficiency is achieved.
