Combustor with dual pressure premixing nozzles
Abstract
A combustor may include a combustor liner and flow sleeve. A high pressure air cools an outer surface of the combustor liner via openings in the flow sleeve, creating a lower pressure air in an annulus between the combustor liner and the flow sleeve. A first fuel nozzle is positioned at a primary combustion zone, and a second fuel nozzle is positioned at a secondary combustion zone of the liner. A fuel source is configured to deliver a fuel to the fuel nozzles. The fuel nozzles produce a premixture of high pressure air and the fuel, and produce a mixture of the premixture and the lower pressure air, prior to introducing the mixture to a respective primary or secondary combustion zone of the combustor. The combustor provides improved fuel premixing and is fuel flexible, and reduces pressure drop requirements. The combustor is usable in a can, annular, or segmented annular combustor assembly.
