Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fuel distribution manifold comprises an outer shell having an inner surface. The outer shell defines an inlet for receiving fuel from a parent supply line, a base opposite the inlet, a central manifold axis that intersects the inlet, and a plurality of outlets for delivering fuel to offspring fuel lines, each outlet defining a respective outlet axis. In one exemplary embodiment, a fuel distribution manifold also comprises a center-body having an outer surface and being positioned within the outer shell wherein the outer surface of the center-body and the inner surface of the outer shell define a flow-path through which fluid flows from the inlet to the plurality of outlets. In another exemplary embodiment, at least one of the outlets is positioned adjacent to the base and oriented so that its respective outlet axis is rotated relatively to a radial direction that intersects the central manifold axis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fuel distribution manifold comprising: an outer shell having an inner surface and being configured for containing a flow of pressurized fuel, the outer shell defining: an inlet for receiving a supply of fuel from a parent supply line, the inlet being formed to define a locally narrow-most portion; a base opposite the inlet; a plurality of outlets for delivering fuel to offspring fuel lines, each outlet defining a respective outlet axis; and a…
