COMBUSTOR WITH A DILUTION PASSAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318821 titled 'COMBUSTOR WITH A DILUTION PASSAGE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a combustor with a casing, inner liner, outer liner, compressed air passageway, combustion chamber, and dilution passages.
- The combustor includes a casing, inner liner, and outer liner.
- A compressed air passageway is formed between the casing, inner liner, and outer liner.
- The combustion chamber is partially defined by the inner and outer liners.
- Dilution passages extend through the inner or outer liner, connecting the compressed air passageway to the combustion chamber.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Unique design of a combustor with inner and outer liners.
- Dilution passages for mixing air with fuel in the combustion chamber.
- Efficient airflow management for combustion processes.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in gas turbines, jet engines, and other combustion systems requiring precise airflow control.
Problems Solved:
- Improved combustion efficiency.
- Enhanced mixing of air and fuel.
- Reduced emissions.
Benefits:
- Increased fuel efficiency.
- Lower emissions.
- Enhanced performance of combustion systems.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include aerospace, power generation, and industrial heating systems.
Questions about Combustor Technology: 1. How does the design of the combustor improve combustion efficiency? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on optimizing airflow dynamics in combustors for increased efficiency and reduced emissions is ongoing in the field of combustion engineering.
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.
