<p>A pulse combustor (10) having a combined mixing and ignition chamber (13) in communication with a fuel inlet tube (11) and an air inlet tube (12). A main combustion chamber (15) which first splits into a plurality of downstream combustion chamber branches (16), each of which further split into a plurality of exhaust tubes (20). The combustion chamber branches of the main combustion chamber have a slot (23) between them with at least one reinforcing strut (25) secured between the combustion chamber branches within the slot. Each exhaust tube has an exhaust manifold end in communication with an exhaust manifold (21). The process includes the steps of introducing air through the air inlet flapper valve into a mixing zone. Fuel is introduced through the fuel inlet flapper valve into the mixing zone. A combustible fuel/air mixture is formed within the mixing and ignition chamber and is ignited there to complete combustion within the combustion chamber. Combustion product gases are exhausted through the combustion chamber branches and further exhausted through the exhaust tubes.</p> |
