Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to turbomachines, more specifically to fuel nozzles for turbomachines (e.g., industrial turbomachines).
- Large fuel nozzles, e.g., those for industrial engines, require large diameter fuel distributors for low emissions performance. Large diameter distributors require a large number of fuel distribution slots for adequate liquid fuel distribution. Slots are required to be large enough to avoid contamination. This leads to low pressure fuel injection which can be problematic as low fuel flows and can lead to streaky performance at high flows, for example.
- Such conventional methods and systems have generally been considered satisfactory for their intended purpose. However, there is still a need in the art for improved fuel injector systems and components. The present disclosure provides a solution for this need.
- In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a fuel distributor system for a turbomachine fuel injector can include a plurality of helical fuel flow channels defined between a fuel distributor and a shroud that surrounds the fuel distributor. A wind axis of the helical flow channels is an axial axis of the fuel injector and each of the helical fuel flow channels include an upstream opening configured to be in fluid communication with a liquid fuel source and a downstream opening configured to effuse fuel therefrom. Each of the plurality of helical fuel flow channels can reduce in flow area from the upstream opening to the downstream opening.
- The plurality of helical fuel flow channels can be defined on an outer diameter of the fuel distributor and are configured to be fluidly isolated from one another by the shroud. In certain embodiments, the upstream opening can include a transition area to widen the upstream openings to reduce pressure loss of fuel entering into the helical fuel flow channels.
- A radial trough of each of the helical fuel flow channels can be reduced in depth from the upstream opening to the downstream opening. In certain embodiments, a radial peak height of each helical fuel flow channel can be constant from the upstream opening to the downstream opening.
- In certain embodiments, each of the plurality of helical fuel flow channels change in flow area from the upstream opening to the downstream opening. For example, the change in flow area can include a change in a flow area shape instead of or in addition to a change in flow area size.
- In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a fuel distributor for a turbomachine fuel injector can include a plurality of helical fuel flow channels as described above defined on an outer diameter thereof and configured to be fluidly isolated from one another by a shroud that surrounds the fuel distributor. The fuel distributor can be a primary fuel distributor or a secondary for distributor (e.g., for an industrial turbomachine fuel nozzle). In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a fuel injector for a turbomachine can include a fuel distributor system as described above for a turbomachine fuel injector.
