Claims
- 1. A fuel nozzle in combination with a first annular air passage and a second annular air passage concentrically mounted relative to said first annular air passage for mixing the fuel discharging from the fuel nozzle with the air in the first annular and second annular air passages for admission in a burner for a gas turbine engine, said fuel nozzle having a primary fuel passage and port and a secondary fuel passage and port, said fuel nozzle disposed concentric to and within said first annular air passage, said first annular air passages having a ring member and said ring member having a plurality of circumferentially spaced air injection holes for admitting air into the burner, a central duct coaxially located relative to and within said ring member, said primary fuel port discharging fuel into the air discharging from said circumferentially spaced air injection holes, and said secondary fuel port discharging fuel into said central duct prior to being admitted into said burner.
- 2. A fuel nozzle in combination with air passages as claimed in claim 1 wherein said central duct includes a fore end and an aft end, and said central duct including air swirl vanes disposed at the fore end thereof for imparting a rotary motion to said air as the air flows into said central duct.
- 3. A fuel nozzle in combination with air passages as claimed in claim 2 including another annular passage surrounding said central duct and swirl vanes mounted in said another annular passage for imparting swirling motion to the air admitted into said another annular passage.
- 4. A fuel nozzle in combination with air passages as claimed in claim 3 wherein said primary fuel includes a pilot fuel port extending from said fuel nozzle and spaced from said secondary fuel nozzle.
- 5. A fuel nozzle in combination with air passages as claimed in claim 4 wherein said secondary fuel port is an air blast fuel nozzle.
