Abstract
Is disclosed a gas-turbine engine capable of changing two different fuel-combustion stages from diffuse combustion to premixed combustion and reverse without variation in its rotation speed, in which a first stage of supplying a specified flow of fuel for diffuse combustion to a combustion chamber through a first injection nozzle and a second stage of supplying a specified flow of fuel for premixed combustion to the combustion chamber through a second injection nozzle are changed to each other according to a criterion based on a specified rotation speed and load state, and which is therefore provided with means for applying air purging to a nozzle of a fuel-supply cutoff line and means for restricting a flow rate of fuel to a nozzle of a currently working line for a certain period.
Claims1
A gas turbine engine having a first stage of supplying diffuse-combustion fuel at a specified flow rate to a combustion chamber through a first injection nozzle and a second stage of supplying premixed combustion fuel at a specified flow rate to the combustion chamber through a second injection nozzle, which is provided with a stage changing means for changing combustion mode from the first stage to the second stage and reverse in accord with a rotation speed and load conditions of the engine.
