Combustor having mixing tube bundle with baffle arrangement for directing fuel

Patent Hughes, Michael John; McConnaughhay, Johnie Franklin

A combustor includes a tube bundle that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor. The tube bundle includes an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface, and a plurality of tubes extend from the upstream surface through the downstream surface to provide fluid communication through the tube bundle. A barrier extends radially inside the tube bundle between the upstream and downstream surfaces, and a baffle extends axially inside the tube bundle between the upstream surface and the barrier.

Mid-section of a can-annular gas turbine engine to introduce a radial velocity component into an air flow discharged from a compressor of the mid-section

Patent Rodriguez, Jose L.

A midframe portion (113) of a gas turbine engine (110) is provided, including a compressor section (112) with a last stage blade (124). The compressor section (112) is configured to introduce a radial velocity component into an air flow (111) such that the air flow is discharged from the compressor section (112) at a mixed direction based on a combined longitudinal velocity component and radial velocity component. The midframe portion (113) further includes a manifold (121) to directly couple the air flow from an outlet of the compressor section (112) to an inlet of a respective combustor head (118) ofmore » the gas turbine engine (110). « less
