Abstract
An air mixer includes an annular body defining a center axis. A plurality of slots are defined in the annular body circumferentially spaced apart from one another. Each slot defines a respective center injection axis extending from an outer surface of the annular body to an inner surface of the annular body. Each respective center injection axis is parallel to a respective plane bisecting the annular body. At least one of the slots is intersected by the respective bisecting plane parallel to its respective center injection axis.
Claims16
An air mixer comprising:
- an annular body defining a center axis;
- and
- a plurality of slots defined in the annular body circumferentially spaced apart from one another, wherein each slot defines a respective center injection axis extending from an outer surface of the annular body to an inner surface of the annular body, wherein each respective center injection axis is parallel to a respective plane bisecting the annular body, wherein at least one of the slots is intersected by the respective bisecting plane parallel to its respective center injection axis.
A combustor system comprising:
- a combustor case;
- a manifold operatively connected to the combustor case;
- a fuel distributor downstream from and fluidly connected to the manifold;
- an air swirler upstream from the fuel distributor to impart swirl to air going from within the combustor case into a combustor;
- and
- an air mixer downstream from the fuel distributor, wherein the air mixer includes:
- an annular body defining a center axis;
- and
- a plurality of slots defined in the annular body circumferentially spaced apart from one another, wherein each slot defines a respective center injection axis extending from an outer surface of the annular body to an inner surface of the annular body, wherein each respective center injection axis is parallel to a respective plane bisecting the annular body, wherein at least one of the slots is intersected by the respective bisecting plane parallel to its respective center injection axis.
