Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine includes a combustor liner, an outer casing surrounding the combustor liner, an ignitor housing extending through an ignitor opening through the liner, and an ignitor disposed within the ignitor housing. The ignitor housing includes a housing wall including at least one airflow inlet passage on a downstream side of the housing wall and arranged within the outer flow passage, and at least one cooling passage on the downstream side within the housing wall. The at least one cooling passage extends along a length of the ignitor housing from the at least one airflow inlet passage and through the inner end of the ignitor housing, the at least one cooling passage being in fluid communication with the at least one airflow inlet passage.

Abstract: An engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the engine. A fuel nozzle assembly can supply fuel to the combustor for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle assembly can include a swirler and a fuel nozzle to supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion, which can supply a primary fuel supply and a secondary fuel supply. Increasing efficiency and reducing emission require the use of alternative fuels, which combust at higher temperatures or burn at faster burn speeds than traditional fuels, requiring improved fuel introduction without the occurrence of flame holding or flashback.
