2 Claims. (Cl. 299-120) This invention relates generally to liquid fuel atomizing nozzles, and more particularly to nozzles oi the simplex type for use in gas turbine power plants, and has for an object to provide an improved device of this charactor.
Another object of the invention is to provide a liquid fuel nozzle having a novel construction which permits the replacement of parts without removing the nozzle from its operative position in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine.
A further object of the invention is to provide a liquid fuel nozzle that is readily adapted for simultaneous connection to a plurality of fuel conduits.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a fuel nozzle having parts that are readily interchangeable with parts of diicrent capacity and/or spraying characteristics.
Other objects will become readily apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure l is a longitudinal section of a portion of the combustion chambers of a gas turbine engine showing a plurality of nozzles embodying the present invention in their operative position;
Figure 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view of a nozzle incorporating the invention;
Figure 3 is a view of the inner face of the nozzle tip taken along line 3 3 of Figure 2; and
Figure 4 is an end view of the distributing disc taken along line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawing, numeral designates the combustion chambers of a jet engine, 12 a plurality of nozzles disposed in the `end wall of said chambers and i4 a conduit connecting said nozzles with a source of fuel, not shown. As best shown in Figure 2, numeral .i6 designates a nozzle body 0r housing having an inten naliy beveiied opening 18 adapted to sealingly engage a complcmentariiy bevelled nozzle tip 2t) having an orice 22 coaxial with said opening.
Yl`he rear face of tip 2t), as best seen in Figure 3, is provided with a plurality of grooves or canals 24 each originating with an oval or tear shaped cavity 26 and secantly or tangentially terminating at a spin chamber 28 which communicates directly with orifice 22.
Adjacent to and in sealing engagement with the rear face of tip 2t) is a distributing disc 30, best shown in Figure 4, having an annular groove 32 adapted to register with the tear shaped cavities 26. A plurality of slots 34 connect groove 32 with an annular chamber 36 in the side wall of the housing 16. Chamber 36 is provided with a plurality of radially extending openings 38 which are adapted to receive fuel conduits 15.
The nozzles, as shown in Figure 1, supplying each combustion chamber are connected in series by branch conduits which connect with the main fuel conduit 14. The combustion chambers are provided with a plurality of vents 39 some or all of which may have battles for directing air into the chamber in the vicinity of the nozzles.
The forward portion of the nozzle body 16 is secured in position in the rear wall of the combustion chamber for more or less permanent connection therewith. The
lCe
The nozzles 12 for each combustion chamber are connected in series by conduits 15 which connect with main fuel conduit 14. The fuel in each branch conduit 15 passes through annular chamber 36 of the first nozzle to reach the second nozzle. Since all of the nozzles are alike, the description of operation of a single nozzle will sutlice.
A portion of the fuel in annular chamber 36 passes through slots 34 to groove 32 in the distributing disc 30. The annular groove 32 is in registration with tear shaped cavities 26 which provide for the smooth transfer of fuel from the groove to canals 24 with a minimum loss of velocity and/ or energy. Fuel is secantly or tangentially discharged from the canals into the spin chamber 28 where its angular velocity is greatly increased prior to discharge from orifice 22 in the form of a fine spray.
The nozzle tip 2t! and distributing disc 3i) are readily interchangeable with corresponding parts having ditercnt capacities and spray characteristics which may be inserted from the rear of the nozzle housing without removing fuel connections or removing the nozzle from its operative position in the combustion chamber.
From the above description it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes or arrangements of parts may be made without departing from the scope or spirit of our invention.
We claim:
l. A nozzle having a source of liquid supply comprising a housing; a replaceable tip in said housing; a spin chamber in said tip; a plurality of canals secantly arranged about said chamber; a tear shaped reservoir for each canal; a distributing disc adjacent said tip; an annular groove in said disc adapted to register with said reservoirs; an annular chamber in said housing in substantially the same plane as said disk; a plurality of radially extending passages in said disc connecting said groove with said annular chamber; and a plurality of radial ports in said housing in substantially the same plane as and opening into said annular chamber, at least one of said ports adapted to be connected with said source of liquid.
2. A nozzle having a source of liquid supply eomprising a housing; a replaceable tip in said housing; a spin chamber in said tip; a plurality of canals secantly arranged about said chamber; a tear shaped reservoir for cach canal; a distributing disc adjacent said tip; an annular groove in said disc adapted to register with said reservoirs; an annular chamber in said housing in the same plane as said disk; a radially extending passage in said disc connecting said groove with said annular chamber; and a radial port in said housing in the same plane as said disk opening into said annular chamber and adapted to be connected with said source of liquid.
