COMBUSTOR WITH A DILUTION PASSAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18186518 titled 'COMBUSTOR WITH A DILUTION PASSAGE
The abstract describes a patent application for a combustor with a casing, inner liner, outer liner, compressed air passageway, combustion chamber, and at least one dilution passage.
- The compressed air passageway is formed between the casing, inner liner, and outer liner.
- The combustion chamber is partially defined by the inner liner and outer liner.
- The at least one dilution passage extends through either the inner liner or the outer liner.
- The dilution passage connects an inlet from the compressed air passageway to a dilution hole in the combustion chamber.
Potential Applications: - Aerospace industry for aircraft engines - Power generation for gas turbines - Industrial applications for combustion systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient mixing of dilution air with combustion gases - Enhanced combustion stability - Reduced emissions and pollutants
Benefits: - Improved fuel efficiency - Lower emissions - Enhanced performance and durability
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Combustor Technology for Aerospace and Power Generation This technology can be used in aircraft engines, gas turbines, and industrial combustion systems, offering improved efficiency and reduced emissions.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the dilution passage improve combustion efficiency?
- The dilution passage allows for better mixing of dilution air with combustion gases, leading to more efficient combustion.
2. What are the key advantages of using a combustor with a compressed air passageway?
- The compressed air passageway helps enhance combustion stability and reduce emissions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A combustor having a casing, an inner liner, an outer liner, a compressed air passageway, a combustion chamber and at least one dilution passage. The compressed air passageway being formed between the casing, the inner liner and the outer liner. The combustion chamber being at least partially defined by the inner liner and the outer liner. The at least one dilution passage extending through at least one of the inner liner or the outer liner. The at least one dilution passage extending between an inlet fluidly coupled to the compressed air passageway and a dilution hole fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber.
