Abstract

741,488. Generating combustion products under pressure. LUCAS (INDUSTRIES), Ltd., J. April 13, 1954 [Feb. 24, 1953; April 2, 1953], Nos. 5119/53 and 9157/53. Class 51 (1). In a combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine or a jet propulsion engine comprising an annular flame tube disposed within an annular air casing, air is supplied to the flame tube and to the inner and outer air spaces respectively through passages from an annular header, the entrance to each passage being such that it extends across the whole or substantially the whole of the radial width of the header. In Figs. 1 and 4 groups of three passages e, f, g extend from the annular header a to the flame tube b and air spaces c, d, the two end passages e, f of each group leading to the outer and inner air spaces d, c respectively, and the middle passage g leading to the interior of the flame tube. The groups are separated by spacers. The upstream end of the flame tube comprises dished segments p, each of which has an air swirler q and a fuel nozzle r is disposed opposite each segment to inject fuel in an upstream direction. Air is also admitted to the flame tube through inlets s, t, u. In Fig. 6 a duct i is disposed within the annular header, the upstream end of the duct being of corrugated form. Air flowing through the duct enters the flame tube at its upstream end and air flowing through the passages j, k formed by the corrugations enters the inner and outer air spaces respectively. The invention eliminates the effects of non-uniformity of air flow in the header.
