- the multiple of fuel air mixer assemblies 102 and adjacent structure generate a blended fuel-air mixture that supports stable combustion in the combustion chamber 66.
- the outer and inner support shells 68, 70 are mounted to a first row of Nozzle Guide Vanes (NGVs) 54A in the HPT 54 to define a combustor exit.
- NGVs 54A are static engine components which direct combustion gases onto a first turbine rotor in the turbine section 28 to facilitate the conversion of pressure energy into kinetic energy.
- each of the multiple of fuel air mixer assemblies 102 includes a fuel nozzle 100 of the fuel injector 86 that is at least partially received within the non-round swirler 114, 116 to generate a non axis-symmetric shaped fuel-air mixture spray pattern 104.
- the fuel nozzle 100 may be round or non-round.
- Each fuel nozzle 100 is located within the respective non-round swirler 114, 116 to mix the fuel into the pressurized air for distribution into the combustion chamber 66.
- a "swirler” may generate, for example, zero swirl, a counter-rotating swirl, a specific swirl which provides a resultant swirl or a residual net swirl which may be further directed at an angle. It should be appreciated that various combinations thereof may alternatively be utilized.
- the non-round swirler 114, 116 may be machined or cast from high temperature alloys, or may be grown by additive manufacturing due to the nature of the shape.
- the non-round swirler 114, 116 is elliptical, curve elliptical in cross section, or of other non-round shape to generate the non axis-symmetric (e.g., elliptical) fuel-air mixture pattern 104 ( FIG. 5 ).
- the adjective "elliptical" is used herein as an example swirler or swirler component having a major diameter extending in a radial direction greater than a minor diameter extending in a circumferential direction about the axis F.
- the non-round swirler 114, 116 includes an inner shroud 108 positioned around the fuel nozzle 100 to form a fuel air exit 109 and an outer shroud 110 positioned radially outward from the inner shroud 108 to define an air exit 113 ( FIG. 6 ).
- a fuel nozzle guide 111 may house the fuel nozzle 100 to form a rear housing in relation to the swirler body 114, 116 to retain the fuel nozzle 100 therein and to accommodate thermal excursions.
- a plurality of swirler vanes 112, 118 are positioned between the shrouds 108 and fuel nozzle guide 111 such that combustion air may enter into the combustion chamber through a plurality of air passages between the swirler vanes 112, 118.
- a first swirler 114 is positioned around the nozzle 100 as described above and a second swirler 116 is positioned radially outward from the first swirler 114.
- the inner shroud 108 and the outer shroud 110 of the second swirler 116 may be joined by a second plurality of vanes 118.
- the elliptical fuel-air mixture pattern 104 and resultant elliptical flame pattern may be beneficial compared to a fully conical axis-symmetric spray in that the elliptical fuel-air mixture pattern 104 orientation can be tailored to the combustion chamber ( FIG. 5 ).
- the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62 are essentially concentric rings that capture the flame for direction to the HPT 54.
- the elliptical flame pattern of each fuel air mixer assembly 102 is appropriately clocked to minimize impact on the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62 ( FIG. 6 ).
- the volume of the combustor is related to combustion efficiency, emissions, and ultimately, the exit temperature profile.
- the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62 often create a boundary and recirculation zone critical to ignition and flame stabilization, however the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62 can be impacted by the flame pattern which result in local hot spots.
- the non-round swirler 114, 116 maintains the inner and outer recirculation zones to facilitate flame stabilization while limiting the flame impact upon the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62.
- the non-round swirlers 114, 116 are arranged such that each of the elliptical spray patterns 104 are generally oriented such that a major axis 103 thereof is clocked around the engine axis A.
- Each of the elliptical spray patterns 104 is clocked to define a circular distribution in which the Z-axis thereof is collinear with the engine central longitudinal axis A in an X-Y-Z coordinate system.
- the engine central longitudinal axis A represents the Z-axis in the X-Y-Z coordinate system of the non-round swirler 114, 116 with respect to the arrangement of the elliptical spray pattern 104.
- each of the adjacent elliptical spray patterns 104 provides an overlap area 105 which facilitates a contiguous annular flame pattern while limiting the flame spread in the radial minor axis 107 direction to minimize a "touchdown region" on the surfaces of the inner and outer combustor wall assemblies 60, 62.
- the spray pattern of the fuel air mixture exiting the swirlers 114, 116 and thus the resulting flame is an elliptical, or curved elliptical shape that minimizes the impact against the inner and outer combustor wall assemblies 60, 62.
- the spreading of the fuel spray and flame radially around the annulus between the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62 provides a more uniform hot gas mixture as opposed to local conical hot spots with cooler areas therebetween, yet minimizes impact on the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62.
- the shape of the fuel spray and resulting flame can be tailored in shape by the swirler shape and/or air passages thereof as well as the fuel nozzle spray pattern. That is, the major axis 103 of the non-round swirler 114, 116 coincides with a major axis of the non-round fuel nozzle 100. Furthermore, the non-round fuel nozzle 100 can also be tailored or clocked with respect to the shape of the non-round swirler 114, 116 to further enhance circumferential mixing while minimizing flame touchdown size and shape. This may further minimize global cooling air usage as well as locally resulting in a far more durable system as well as enhanced combustion characteristics such as stability and exit temperature uniformity.
- the non-round fuel nozzle 100A is of an elliptical shape to correspond with the generally non-round swirler 114, 116 for further control of the spray pattern.
- the non-round fuel nozzle 100B is of a rectilinear or flat shape that is oriented with the generally non-round swirler 114, 116 for further control of the spray pattern.
- the non-round fuel nozzle 100C may alternatively include a multiple of fuel jets 200 that include fuel jets 200A, 200B that are of differing sizes to effect the non-round spray pattern. That is, the distribution of fuel jet sizes provides non axis-symmetric fuel spray pattern even though the fuel nozzle body 202 is round. That is, the fuel nozzle body 202 may be round or non-round but the fuel jets 200 are tailored in size to provide various fuel spray patterns to interact with the non-round swirler 114, 116 to optimize flame exit temperature uniformity.
- the non-round swirler 114, 116 orients the elliptical spray pattern 104 such that the flame has minimal impact on the combustor wall assemblies 60, 62. This can reduce the requirements for cooling air to maintain metal temperatures below the material melting point. Furthermore, reduced cooling air usage facilitates more efficient downstream tailoring of the exit temperature quality of the combustor to enhance overall engine efficiency and specific fuel consumption.
- the non-round swirler 114, 116 is non axis-symmetric, the circumferential distance between the swirlers 114, 116 ( FIG. 5 ) can also be optimized to improve exit temperature quality, which results in a hot gas profile that exits the combustor 66 in a more uniform manner. This, for example, translates to improved turbine vane and airfoil durability that may be a significant driver for engine maintenance costs.
