Patent ID: 11371705

Abstract:
A pilot burner assembly for a combustion volume in a gas turbine engine includes a pilot burner, a pilot-fuel supply line, and a pilot-air supply line. The pilot burner has a burner face that includes a plurality of pilot-fuel injection holes. The pilot-fuel injection holes provide a pilot-fuel to the combustion volume. The pilot-fuel supply line is fluidly connected to the pilot-fuel injection holes for supplying the pilot-fuel to the pilot-fuel injection holes. The pilot-air supply line provides a pilot-air to the pilot burner. The pilot-air is supplied to the combustion volume through the burner face. Pilot-air injection holes are located on the burner face and fluidly connected to the pilot-air supply line. The pilot-air injection holes inject the pilot-air into the combustion volume. A gas turbine has the pilot burner assembly.
