Abstract

1408840 Gas turbine combustion apparatus FORD MOTOR CO Ltd 18 June 1973 [31 July 1972] 28810/73 Headings F1G and F1L The invention relates to a catalytic type combustion apparatus in which a heat exchanger is provided to pre-heat the air supply to the combustion apparatus there being also initial combustion means located upstream of the catalytic combustion apparatus for raising the temperature of the fuel/air mixture to a predetermined temperature in advance of sustained catalytic combustion. The invention is shown in Fig. 1 applied to a gas turbine engine which comprises an air compressor 13, a rotary type regenerator C, a catalytic combustion apparatus A, a compressor-drive turbine 15 and a power turbine 16. The regenerator comprises a rotary disc 20 which rotates about a vertical axis 21, the disc passing through a heatreceiving zone 20b and a heat-emitting zone 20a. An initial combustion means is provided and comprises a duct 32 which separates part of the air from the compressor and directs it to a central part of the regenerator disc, fuel being supplied to the duct through an injector D, the mixture of fuel and air being heated in passing through the regenerator disc and being ignited in the region B by ignition device 38, the combustion gases and air passing to the catalytic combustion apparatus which is thereby heated to a temperature at which sustained catalytic combustion will occur; the gases discharge through the turbines 15, 16 then through the heat receiving zone 20b of the regenerator disc. Once the predetermined temperature has been attained the ignition device 38 is disengaged, the fuel supply is shut-off so that flame combustion ceases, then the fuel supply is re-started so that flameless combustion or decomposition occurs in the catalytic apparatus 25. In Fig. 3 an initial combustion chamber 62 having a fuel injector 67 and spark igniter 68 is provided upstream of the catalytic apparatus 54 air from the compressor 57 passing to the rotary regenerator which is in two parts. As before once the predetermined temperature has been attained, the spark igniter is switched off, the fuel supply is shut-off and then re-started, flameless combustion then occurring in the catalytic apparatus 54. The invention permits very weak fuel/air mixtures to be burned.
