Title: Combustion chamber for a gas turbine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6735342

A combustion chamber for a gas turbine, in particular for motor vehicles, with an atomizer nozzle for the fuel fed to a prechamber, in which the inlet cross section for the primary air is changed by the longitudinal movement of a deflection member extending through the inlet opening of the combustion chamber. The deflection member serves as a flame holder for the stabilization of the combustion in the primary air zone while the air-atomizing nozzle is constructed ring-shaped and is provided with swirl slots in such a manner that the mixture of the fuel and of the atomizing air enters as an annular jet the primary air inlet channel, impinges approximately perpendicularly onto the primary air flow, penetrates the same and uniformly mixes with the same on its way to the inlet into the primary zone. The quantity of the primary air to be supplied is thereby automatically adjustable.
