Abstract

839,563. Gas turbine plant. ROVER CO. Ltd. Oct. 2, 1957 [Oct. 11, 1956], No. 30953/56. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XI] A gas turbine having a burner to which fuel is supplied through a shut-off valve in which the fuel pump, the shut-off valve and the burner are connected in series has a device including a closed chamber containing a cushion of gas connected to the fuel system of the engine through a common inlet and outlet pipe between the fuel pump and the shut-off valve so that when the burner shut-off valve is closed fuel is stored under a pressure which mounts until a predetermined minimum value is reached when, on opening the shut-off valve, fuel is supplied at an adequate pressure to the burner. Fuel is supplied to the burner 3 by a pump B and a chamber A is connected to the fuel line between the pump and burner. The burner C has a body 2 containing a fuel duct 3 the flow through which is controlled by an axially movable valve member 5. The member 5 is rotatably and axially movable in a cap 6 and is biased to its closed position by a spring 9. The valve is operated by a lever 11 which coacts with a cam surface 14 formed on the cap 6. The chamber A comprises an open-ended transparent tube 15 held on a sealing washer 16 in the base of a cup 17 by metal cylinder 19 which screws into the cup. The cylinder 19 has ports 22 through which the interior of the tube 15 can be seen. At starting, the tube 15 will be full of air and as the pump is accelerated the fuel pressure will build up and fuel will enter the tube 15 until the level indicated by the bead 27 is reached. The valve 5 is then opened to allow fuel to pass to the nozzle 4. To replenish the air in the tube 15, the cylinder 19 is unscrewed to break the seal between the tube 15 and washer 16 and allow the excess fuel to pass to the drain 26.
