A flameless combustor usable with multiple fuels comprises a combustion chamber and fuel lines in communication with the chamber.

The present invention provides a flexible hose for connecting a fuel manifold to a burner of a gas turbine engine. The flexible hose includes a metal convolute tube, an elongate member or members located in grooves formed in the inner surface of the convolute tube, and a pressure-containing sheath outside the convolute tube. The flexible tube has end connectors fluidly-tightly joined to respective ends of the hose for connection at one end of the hose to the fuel manifold of the gas turbine engine, and at the other end of the hose to the burner of the gas turbine engine.

A fuel connection unit (10) for a fuel-operated vehicle heater (18) includes a connection unit body (12), which can be arranged at a heater housing (16). A fuel release line connection area (32) connects a fuel release line leading to a combustion chamber. A fuel feed line connection area (46) projects from the connection unit body (12) for connecting a fuel feed line. At least one functional unit (50), for influencing the flow of fuel in a fuel flow volume (36) formed in the connection unit body (12), is provided in the connection unit body (12).

A fuel connection unit for a fuel-operated vehicle heater includes a connection unit body (12) to be mounted on a heater body (78). A fuel release line connection area (16) is positioned such that it meshes with or faces an interior (80) of the heater body (78). The fuel release line connection area (16) connects a fuel release line (104), extending in the interior (80), with a fuel feed line connection area (20) to be positioned exposed on an outer side of the heater body (78), for connecting a fuel feed line.

A nameless combustor usable with multiple fuels comprises a combustion chamber and fuel lines in communication with the chamber.

Provided is a fuel supply system including a main ammonia line through which liquid ammonia flows; a vaporizer connected to an end of the main ammonia line and configured to heat and vaporize the liquid ammonia via heat exchange between a heating medium and the liquid ammonia; a gaseous ammonia line connected to the vaporizer, the gaseous ammonia line configured to guide a gaseous ammonia, which is ammonia vaporized by the vaporizer, as fuel to a combustor of a gas turbine; a liquid ammonia line configured to guide liquid ammonia which has not undergone heat exchange with the heating medium at the vaporizer as fuel to the combustor; and a switching device configured to switch an ammonia supply state between a first state in which the gaseous ammonia is guided from the gaseous ammonia line to the combustor and a second state in which the liquid ammonia is guided from the liquid ammonia line to the combustor.
