    摘要: A fuel delivery system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine including a primary fuel tank configured to store a primary fuel, a secondary fuel tank configured to store a secondary fuel, a swirler configured to produce a main flame within a combustion chamber of the combustor, and a fuel nozzle configured to produce a pilot flame within the combustion chamber of the combustor. The fuel nozzle includes a nozzle outlet that is located proximate to an end of the swirler or at the end of the swirler, the end of the swirler being located at an inlet of the combustor. The fuel delivery system also includes a primary fuel line fluidly connecting the primary fuel tank to the fuel nozzle and a secondary fuel line fluidly connecting the secondary fuel tank to the swirler.

    摘要: A fuel nozzle valve includes a fuel nozzle valve liner having a channel with an opening for allowing fuel to flow therethrough and a seat. A plunger has a stud and a base substantially perpendicular to the stud, the plunger being configured to move relative to the fuel nozzle valve liner to seal or to open the opening of the fuel nozzle valve. The fuel nozzle valve further includes a metal resilient member configured to contact the base of the plunger and the seat of the fuel nozzle valve liner to seal the opening of the fuel nozzle valve when the plunger is moved to seal the fuel nozzle valve.

    摘要: The invention relates to an engine having at least two combustion chambers, a shared high-pressure fuel storage tank for holding fuel gas available as pressurized gas, and means for direct injection of the fuel gas from the high-pressure fuel storage tank into the combustion chambers, wherein it is possible to provide the fuel gas in the high-pressure fuel storage tank from a primary tank, wherein it is possible to withdraw the fuel gas from the primary tank and/or to generate it from a fuel withdrawn from the primary tank along a conversion path, and a gas buffer storage tank connected to the high-pressure fuel storage tank discharges fuel gas from the high-pressure fuel storage tank into the gas buffer storage tank, and the gas buffer storage tank is further connected via a separate fuel gas path to the air intake section of the gas combustion engine.
