- Each staged premixing tube 20 comprises three main parts, these are (l) and outer tube 52, (2) a shorter inner tube 54 having a centerbody 55, and (3) a movable bellmouth piece 56.
- the outer tube 52 has an enlarged inlet section 58 which is tapered inwardly as it extends rearwardly to a reduced area center section 59. This inlet section 58 directs incoming airflow from a forward opening 50 into the premixing tube 20.
- the inner tube 54 is located in the rear end portion of the outer tube 52 and with the centerbody S divides the tube into two concentric flow passages 60 and 62.
- the inner tube 54 is supported within the outer tube 52 by swirl vanes 64.
- the centerbody 55 is positioned in the inner tube 54 by swirl vanes 68.
- the centerbody 55 while spacing the inner ends of the vanes 68, also serve as an aerodynamic bluff-body. promoting recirculatory flow in the general region just rearwardly of the centerbody.
- An opening 57 extends through the center of the centerbody S5 to aid in purging the region immediately adjacent to the centerbody of combusting flow.
- the swirl vanes 64 and swirl vanes 68 are placed in a manner so that airflow leaves the concentric flow passages 60 and 62 swirling in different directions. If desired, these vanes can also be placed in a manner so that airflow leaves the flow passages swirling in the same direc' tion.
- the inner tube 54 extends in length from the rear end of the outer tube 52 forwardly to the reduced area center section 59.
- This inner tube 54 tapers outwardly from its forward end to its rearward end where it is attached by the swirl vanes 64 to the outer tube 52.
- the center body 55 also tapers outwardly from its forward end to its rearward end where it is supported within the inner tube 54 by the swirl vanes 68.
- the cross-sectional area of the flow passages 60 and 62 remains substantially constant throughout their length.
- the movable bellmouth piece 56 is shaped so that its rearward end 70 has a slidable engagement within the forward end of the inner tube 54 when the bellmouth piece 56 is in its rearward position and the forward edge contacts the inner surface of the outer tube 52 where it tapers inwardly to the reduced area center section 59 (see FIG. 3).
- the bellmouth piece 56 When the bellmouth piece 56 is in its forward position, it is located so as to present as little interference as possible with airflow passing thereby.
- the contour of the bellmouth piece 56 is such that in its rearward position the forward edge coacts with the inner wall of the inlet section 58 and the rearward end 70 coacts with the forward end of the inner tube 54 to provide an acceptable aerodynamic contour to direct inlet flow into only the smaller diameter annular passage 62, and in its forward position it is positioned within the forward part of the outer tube 52 so that flow is directed smoothly into both of the concentric flow passages 60 and 62.
- the slidable engagement of the rearward end of the bellmouth piece 56 with the forward end of the inner tube 54 is of such a length that a small gap is permitted at A to permit airflow there through before the bellmouth piece 56 disengages the inner tube 54 as it moves forwardly.
- Each staged premixing tube 20 has an annular flange 104 extending outwardly from the midportion of the outer tube 52. This flange 104 is positioned on the outer tube 52 so that when the rearward end of the staged premixing tube 20 reaches the end of the cylindrical receptor 100 adjacent the inner part of the burner 12, it will engage the cylindrical flange 102 of the cylindrical receptor 100. These flanges are fixed together to retain the staged premixing tube 20 in its proper operating position.
- the rearward end of the staged premixing tube 20 has a plurality of radial projections 106 extending therefrom which guide the end of the staged premixing tube 20 when it is being inserted in the cylindrical receptor 100 and provides for any flow of cooling air which may pass thereby. If necessary, openings 108 can be provided in flange 104 to allow a minimum of cooling air to enter the space between the outer tube 52 and cylindrical receptor 100.
- fuel is delivered to an annular manifold 11 which distributes the fuel to separate conduits 13, each conduit leading to a fuel atomizer or nozzle, 72 ofa staged premixing tube.
- Each fuel nozzle is mounted in the inlet section 58 of the outer tube 52, by means of three struts 74.
- the outer ends of the struts 74 are fixed to the inner surface of the inlet section 58 of the outer tube 52 and the inner ends are fixed to a cylindrical housing 76 of the fuel nozzle 72.
- Each conduit 13 extends through the wall of the discharge passage 42 of the compressor section 2 into a hollow strut 79.
- the conduit 13 then is angled in the strut 79 so that it extends to the front of the housing 76 of the nozzle 72 in an aligned manner which will be hereinafter described.
- the conduit 13 is connected within the housing 76 to direct the flow of fuel exit openings in the face of the nozzle 72.
- the conduit 13 can be located in other positions to direct fuel to the nozzles 72.
- the face of the fuel nozzle 72 is positioned adjacent the rear end of the bellmouth piece 56, when the bellmouth piece 56 is in its forward position so that fuel will be injected into both concentric flow passages 60 and 62.
- the fuel atomizer or nozzle 72 can have its design varied as long as basic requirements for atomization and dispersion are met. While one fuel nozzle 72 has been shown, dual nozzles can be used if desired.
- Actuating means 78 are provided for actuating the bellmouth piece 56 and include a sleeve 80 which has axial movement over the cylindrical housing 76 of the nozzle 72. Slots 81 are provided for the struts 74 which extend between the outer tube 52 and the fuel nozzle 72. The forward end of the bellmouth piece 56 is connected to the rearward end of the sleeve 80 by arms 82.
- a rack 84 is located along the side of the sleeve 80 and V is engaged by a pinion gear 86 which is mounted on the end of a shaft 88 which extends to the exterior of the annular burner case 10.
- a control device 90 is connected to each shaft 88 for rotating its associated pinion gear 86 to translate its associated sleeve 80 and bellmouth piece 56. It can be seen that rotation of the pinion gear 86 will axially move the bellmouth piece 56 between its forward and rearward positions. If additional means are desired to additionally support the sleeve 80 at its forward end, an arm can extend rearwardly from the rear of a strut 79.
- This arm could be formed around a conduit 13 extending from a strut since the conduit 13 is positioned so that the cylindrical sleeve 80 will be permitted axial movement thereover. It is to be recognized that other known actuating means can be used to translate the bellmouth piece 56.
- control devices 90 can be operated, for example, in any of the following manners: (1) all of the control devices 90 can be interconnected so that the bcllmouth piece 56 of each staged premixer tube 20 directs flow only into passage 62 for low power engine operation until a predetermined higher power setting is reached and then the bellmouth pieces 56 of all of the staged premixing tubes 20 can be moved directly to an open position permitting flow to both flow passages 60 and 62; (2) all of the control devices 90 can be interconnected so that the bellmouth piece 56 of each staged premixing tube will move from a low power setting by a predetermined schedule until it reaches a predetermined higher power setting and at that time the bellmouth pieces 56 can all move directly to an open position; (3) all of the control devices 90 can be interconnected so that the bellmouth pieces 56 of individual staged premixing tubes 20 will be actuated in a predetermined sequence around the circumference of the annular burner 12, when one tube
