Low emission combustion chamber

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6606123
A low emission combustion chamber is disclosed in which vitiated products of combustion from a pilot burner are caused to swirl about the combustion chamber axis before fuel droplets are introduced into the vitiated, swirling combustion products for flash vaporization therein to produce a vaporized, swirling, vitiated fuel-air mixture so as to effect ignition lag until swirling mixture to molecularly premix the fuel and air and increase its oxygen content to reduce the ignition lag to effect autoignition at an equivalence ratio less than 1 so as to effect high-rate, lean burning in the primary combustion chamber.
