Abstract
A fluid manifold includes a manifold body, a first annular passage and a second annular passage. The first annular passage is defined within the manifold body between a first passage inlet and a first passage outlet downstream from the first passage inlet. The second annular passage is defined within the manifold body nested radially outward from the first annular passage, and between a second passage inlet and a second passage outlet downstream from the second passage inlet. The first and second annular passages are concentric about a manifold axis. The first passage outlet and the second passage outlet are positioned at the same axial position relative to the manifold axis.
Claims20
A fluid manifold comprising:
- a manifold body;
- a first annular passage defined within the manifold body between a first passage inlet and a first passage outlet downstream from the first passage inlet;
- and
- a second annular passage defined within the manifold body nested radially outward from the first annular passage, and between a second passage inlet and a second passage outlet downstream from the second passage inlet, wherein the first and second annular passages are concentric about a manifold axis, wherein the first passage outlet and the second passage outlet are positioned at the same axial position relative to the manifold axis.
A system comprising:
- a combustor case defining a manifold receptacle bore therethrough;
- a manifold including a manifold body seated in the manifold receptacle bore to plug seal pressure within the combustor case, wherein a first annular passage is defined within the manifold body between a first passage inlet and a first passage outlet downstream from the first passage inlet, and wherein a second annular passage is defined within the manifold body nested radially outward from the first annular passage and between a second passage inlet and a second passage outlet downstream from the second passage inlet, wherein the first and second annular passages are concentric about a manifold axis, wherein the first passage outlet and the second passage outlet are positioned at the same axial position relative to the manifold axis;
- and
- a fuel distributor in fluid communication with the first and second annular passages.
