FUEL INJECTION FOR INTEGRAL COMBUSTOR AND TURBINE VANE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035659 titled 'FUEL INJECTION FOR INTEGRAL COMBUSTOR AND TURBINE VANE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a combustor with a combustor wall, a combustor dome at the upstream end of the wall, and an outlet at the downstream end of the wall. The wall consists of an inner wall portion and an outer wall portion, creating an interior space within the combustor. An air cooling passage is embedded inside either the inner wall portion or the outer wall portion, extending from the upstream end to the downstream end of the combustor wall.

  • The system includes a combustor with a unique design that incorporates an air cooling passage within the combustor wall.
  • The air cooling passage is embedded inside either the inner wall portion or the outer wall portion of the combustor wall.
  • The air cooling passage extends from the upstream end to the downstream end of the combustor wall.
  • The design of the system allows for efficient cooling of the combustor wall, preventing overheating and potential damage.
  • The air cooling passage helps to maintain the integrity and longevity of the combustor by dissipating heat effectively.

Potential Applications:

  • Gas turbine engines
  • Power generation systems
  • Aerospace industry
  • Industrial heating systems

Problems Solved:

  • Overheating of the combustor wall
  • Potential damage to the combustor due to excessive heat
  • Inefficient cooling methods in traditional combustor designs

Benefits:

  • Improved safety and reliability of the system
  • Enhanced performance and efficiency of the combustor
  • Extended lifespan of the combustor
  • Reduced maintenance and repair costs


Original Abstract Submitted

a system includes a combustor. the combustor has a combustor wall with a combustor dome at an upstream end of the combustor wall, and an outlet at a downstream end of the combustor wall opposite the upstream end. the combustor wall includes an inner wall portion and an outer wall portion defining an interior of the combustor therebetween. each of the inner wall portion and outer wall portion extends from the combustor dome to the downstream end of the combustor wall. the combustor wall includes an air cooling passage embedded inside at least one of the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion. the air cooling passage extends from the upstream end of the combustor wall to the downstream end of the combustor wall.
