A combustor (10) for a heat engine, such as a Stirling cycle heat engine, incorporating a number of nozzles (12) mounted between a pair of plates (14, 15). Fuel is introduced from above the plates (14, 15) into mixing chambers (60) within the nozzles (24). Combustion inlet air passing between the plates (14, 15) is introduced into the mixing chambers (60) and create a swirling motion in the fuel/air mixture. The fuel/air mixture passes through an expansion chamber (68) before being discharged to a common combustion chamber (30). The combustor (10) has been designed to allow the use of high temperature combustion inlet air and to have low NOx emission characteristics. |
