Title: Gaseous fuel injector

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6987705

This patent describes a gas turbine engine including a gaseous fuel injector, it comprises: a turbine section having a gas producing section; a combustor section being positioned in working relationship to the turbine section and having an inlet end and an outlet end, a compressor section being driven by the gas producing section of the turbine section and having an air flow therefrom, a device for causing a flow of fuel during operation of the gas turbine engine; means for directing and swirling a portion of the air flow into contact with the flow of fuel exiting the exit surface prior to entering the combustor section; means for causing the swirling of the gaseous fuel and the combustion air flow prior to entering the combustor section; means for causing the swirling of water at the outlet end, the means for causing the swirling of the water at the outlet end being positioned in the water injection passage; and each of the directing and swirling means inputting an angular momentum which is aerodynamically vectorially additive.
