Airblast fuel atomization system

摘要

An airblast fuel injector assembly (10) for use in conjunction with a gas turbine is disclosed which includes an elongated tubular body having first and second concentric tubes (12, 14) separated from one another by a helical spacer wire (16) so as to define a fuel passage (18) therebetween. The injector assembly is situated in a fuel nozzle (20) such that fuel flow exiting the fuel passage is intersected by an air flow at a predetermined angle of incidence so as to atomize the fuel flow. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
