cles shrink. during the reaction and take up an equilibrium path nearer the axis.
A combustion system of the character described (in the last preceding paragraph.) does not in itself provide a flow pattern suitable for use incases in which combustion has to be supported by a fast moving stream of fluid (hereinafter considered as being air), and an object of the invention is toadapt a system of the said; character to the re quirements of such cases. The description fast moving as applied toa combustion-supporting air stream is intended herein to indicate that the speed of the air stream in its general direction of flow past a combustion initiating zone, calculated from the ratio air volume passing in unit time/cross sectional area of the. flow path, is
sufficiently high in relation to the speed of. flame propagation in the fuel-air mixture concerned to have flame extinguishing properties. For hydro-- carbon fuels burning in air the speed of flame Further, in accordanceradial flow at the radial distance.
ly by the form of the boundary walls, because the radialvelocity component of the gas at any particular radial distance from the axis of the vortex depends on the cross-sectional area available for Any desired movement of these particles can thus be ensured by suitable design of the chamber walls and by suitable operating conditions.
Dynamical investigation has shown that certain arrangements have a favourable eifect on.
flow stability and pressure loss. It is in the first Place desirable that the radial velocity component of the gas should be either constant, or should vary continuously from entry to outlet" with varying radial distance from the axis of the vortex; with the object, according to a further feature of the invention the vortex chamber is defined by boundary walls having a form such that the distance between apoint on one wall and a corre- .3 spending oppositely'located point onthe opposite wall measured in the direction of the axis variescontinuously from the periphery up to the outlet with. varying radial distance of the points from this axis and is greater at smaller radii.
Preferably the form of the boundary walls defining the vortex chamber is such that the said axial distance between opposite walls is substantially anexponential. function of the' said radial distance, and conveniently the boundary walls are of. generally outwardly concave form. (In thiscontext outwardly concave or convex means as viewed externally.) A particular case which may have certain advantages for example in respect of pressure loss occurs when the said function is hyperbolic in which case the radial velocity component will be substantially constant at all radii.
In the use of liquid fuels of low volatility, difficulties are often encountered owing to the wide range in the sizes of the droplets produced by the pressure operated jet or air blast atomiser which is generally employed.
A further difficulty is that in the case of some crude liquid fuels the viscosity varies over a wide range for comparatively small changes in temperature, thus substantially altering the degree of atomisation and thence the combustion performance.
With the object of avoiding these disadvantages accordin to a still further feature of the invention the vortex combustion chamber is provided with centrifugal means adapted to introduce fuel particles with a movement of rotation about the axis of the chamber.
By way of example, an embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure l is a transverse section of said embodiment and;
Figure 2 is a section on the line II-II of Figure 1.
Referring to Figure 1, the combustion apparatus comprises a flame tube enclosed by a duct 24 into which is passed a fast moving air stream, as for example, the delivery from the air compressor of a gas turbine engine, and a combustion chamber generally indicated at 4 into which the duct 24 and the flame tube enclosed thereby lead.
The flame tube is generally similar to that de scribed in co-pending United States patent application Serial No. 250,701 in the name of Lloyd, filed October 10, 1951, which is a division of the present application. It comprises a tubular duct 25 which divides the stream entering the duct 24 into two portions, one portion constituting secondary air and passing into the annular space Ila between the two ducts, and the other portion constituting primary air and passing into the interior of the duct 25. The second portion is fur ther divided into two parts by a further tubular duct 23 supported coaxially within duct 25 by a spider 29 at one end and swirl vanes 25a at the other end. Cine part of the air passes through the annular space between ducts 25 and 26 and is given a swirling motion about the axis 1 of the ducts by the swirl vanes 25a. The other part flows partly through the swirl vanes 23a and partly through apertures 21a in a cup shaped stabilising baffie 2?.
Mounted centrally in the flame tube is an air blast burner 23 for crude liquid fuel, the term air blast burner meaning in this case a burner in which atomisation of the liquid fuel is effected by means of an air blast. In the burner shown, liquid fuel is led through pipe 2! while compressed air is led through pipe 22 in order to atomise the fuel.
The stabilising baffle 21 forms on its downstream side a stabilised combustion zone into which the fuel is injected and where it is ignited by means of spark plug 3!. The ignited fuel particles are carried by the swirling air 3 into the combustion chamber 4. It will be appreciated that on entering the combustion chamber, the stream tends, due to its swirling movement, to
fly outwards towards the peripheral part of the chamber and will carry with it the burning particles of fuel.
The first portion of the air stream entering duct 24 flows into the annular space Ha between the ducts 24 and 25. The duct 25 merges into one side wall id of the chamber 4, and the duct 2-! into a wall Ge spaced from the wall id. Ihe air flows between these two walls through a series of swirl vanes 23 arranged as shown in Figure 2 to swirl the air about the axis '8. Part of this air enters the combustion chamber it as secondary air through peripheral inlets 19 which are provided with swirl vanes Hm which accordingly define tangential inlets. The swirl vanes 28 and Mia thus give the air a vortex motion about the axis 1.
Within the chamber 4 the gases circulate around the axis 1 in vortex manner, the fuel particles, which are initially carried outwards by the swirling air stream from the name tube, moving in a circular path and slowly approaching the axis while being burnt until they are either completely burnt or until a very fine ash residue remains which passes together with the combustion products through the axial outlet S formed in the wall 41 of the combustion chamber a.
The air flowing through the space Ila between the walls 4d and dc serves to cool the combustion chamber walls 411. Part of this air does not enter the chamber a but flows through the space llb between the wall t of the combustion chamber and the outer walls 4k, in and 4h, thereby cooling wall M. This air finally passes between swirl vanes 8a arranged in the vicinity of the outlet 8, and mixes with the combustion gases as tertiary air to act as a diluent and coolant.
