Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for supplying a working fluid to a combustor includes a fuel nozzle, a combustion chamber downstream from the fuel nozzle, and a flow sleeve that circumferentially surrounds the combustion chamber. Injectors circumferentially arranged around the flow sleeve provide fluid communication through the flow sleeve and into the combustion chamber. A valve upstream from the injectors has a first position that permits working fluid flow to the injectors and a second position that prevents working fluid flow to the injectors. A method for supplying a working fluid to a combustor includes flowing a working fluid through a combustion chamber, diverting a portion of the working fluid through injectors circumferentially arranged around the combustion chamber, and operating a valve upstream from the injectors to control the working fluid flow through the injectors.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for supplying a working fluid to a combustor, comprising: a liner, wherein the liner at least partially defines a combustion chamber within the combustor; a flow sleeve that circumferentially surrounds the liner, wherein the flow sleeve and the liner define an annular passage therebetween; a plurality of injectors circumferentially arranged around and extending through the flow sleeve and the liner, each injector having a plurality of fuel ports…
