Combustion equipment

摘要

A gas turbine engine combustion chamber includes an inlet through which primary air can flow and which is capable of receiving a fuel injector. A cylindrical collar extends from this inlet into the interior of the combustion chamber and the collar may be parallel walled or slightly divergent and one or more rows of equi-spaced apertures can be provided in the collar wall. The presence of the collar has the effect of reducing the rate of carbon deposition on the combustion chamber head and of reducing the levels of emitted smoke.
