Abstract
756,264. Generating combustion products under pressure. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. July 20, 1954 [July 31, 1953], No. 21121/54. Class 51(1). In an aircraft gas turbine engine having a combustion chamber comprising an outer casing 22 and an inner flame tube 24, a ring, manifold 40 is disposed in the space between the outer casing and the flame tube and has apertures 42 in register with apertures 30 in the flame tube wall whereby evaporative coolant fluid such as water or water-alcohol may be injected into the flame tube so as to augment the thrust of the engine. Fluid is supplied from a manifold 36 through ducts 38 to each of a plurality of combustion chambers disposed in circular formation, the ducts 38 each connecting by a fitting 52 to a ring manifold 40. The manifold 40 is supported by means of two pins 44 projecting radially inwardly from the outer casing 22 which engage slidingly in 'sleeves 48 secured to the manifold so as to allow for expansion. The invention is applicable to aircraft gas turbine jet propulsion engines and to aircraft gas turbine propeller engines.
