    Abstract: An endcover assembly for a combustor includes an endcover and a fuel nozzle rigidly connected to the endcover. The fuel nozzle includes a plurality of tubes that extends axially through a first plate, a fuel plenum and a second plate where each tube includes an inlet defined upstream of the first plate and an outlet disposed downstream from the second plate. The endcover assembly further includes an inlet flow conditioner having a forward end connected to the endcover and an aft end axially spaced from the forward end. The inlet flow conditioner circumferentially surrounds at least a portion of the fuel nozzle. A support plate is joined to the aft end of the inlet flow conditioner. Each tube of the fuel nozzle extends through a corresponding tube hole defined by the support plate. The fuel nozzle is connected to the support plate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides assemblies for cooling a liquid fuel cartridge unit within a combustor head end. In one embodiment, the cooling is accomplished passively as air from the head end air plenum is directed into a cooling channel radially outward of a liquid fuel delivery conduit. In another embodiment, the cooling of the liquid fuel cartridge unit is accomplished actively as air is directed through a first air flow conduit radially inward of the liquid fuel delivery conduit and then redirected through a second air flow conduit radially outward of the liquid fuel delivery conduit.

    Abstract: An igniter for a combustor of a turbomachine includes a fuel inlet in fluid communication with a mixing plenum. The mixing plenum is positioned upstream of a mixing channel. An air inlet is in fluid communication with the mixing plenum and an ignition source is in operative communication with the mixing channel. The igniter may include a mounting flange configured for coupling the igniter to the combustor. The ignition source may be positioned proximate to a downstream end of the mixing channel and upstream of the mounting flange. The mixing channel may define a venturi shape. The venturi shape includes a converging section between an upstream end of the mixing channel and a venturi throat.

    Abstract: A fuel nozzle assembly includes a fuel plenum body including a forward plate, an aft plate, an outer band extending between the forward plate and the aft plate and a fuel plenum defined within the fuel plenum body. A plurality of tubes extends through the forward wall, the fuel plenum and the aft wall and each tube defines a premix flow passage through and downstream from the fuel plenum body. Each tube is rigidly connected to the aft plate. A damping plate is disposed downstream from the aft plate. At least one tube of the plurality of tubes extends through a corresponding tube opening defined by the damping plate. The damping plate includes a plurality of spring members fixedly connected to the damping plate. At least one spring member of the plurality of spring members is engaged with an outer wall of the at least one tube.

    Abstract: A fuel injector for a combustor generally includes an annular outer body having an inlet and an outlet. The outer body at least partially defines an outer flow passage. An inner flow passage extends at least partially through the outer flow passage and a radial swirler is disposed at the inlet of the outer body. The radial swirler includes a first radial passage separated from a second radial passage. The first radial passage has a first plurality of swirler vanes and the second radial passage has a second plurality of swirler vanes. The first radial passage is in fluid communication with the outer flow passage and the second radial passage is in fluid communication with the inner flow passage.

    Abstract: A combustion liner for a gas turbine combustor includes an annular main body having a forward end axially separated from an aft end, and a transitional intersection defined between the forward end and the aft end. The main body extends continuously from the forward end to the aft end. A plurality of fuel injector passages extend radially through the main body upstream from the transitional intersection. The main body comprises a conical section having a circular cross section that diverges between the forward end and the transitional intersection, and a transition section having a non-circular cross section that extends from the transitional intersection to the aft end of the main body.

The fuel distribution manifold includes an annular support sleeve having an inner surface. The combustion module further includes a fuel injection assembly having an annular combustion liner that extends downstream from the fuel distribution manifold and that terminates at an aft frame, and an annular flow sleeve that circumferentially surrounds the combustion liner. The flow sleeve extends downstream from the fuel distribution manifold and terminates at the aft frame. The flow sleeve extends continuously between the support sleeve and the aft frame. A forward portion of the flow sleeve is positioned concentrically within the support sleeve where the forward portion is slidingly engaged with the inner surface of the support sleeve.
