Lean premix burner of a gas-turbine engine provided with a concentric annular central body
This invention relates to a lean premix burner of a gas-turbine engine with an annular central body 2 , which, while being essentially concentric to a burner center axis 1 , is provided with an annular duct 4 connected to a supply line 3 and with a film applicator 5 which conically widens at the fuel exit side and into whose radially inward area at least one fuel exit opening 6 issues which is connected to the annular duct, characterized in that the film applicator 5 has, adjacently to and downstream of the fuel exit openings 6 in the area facing the fuel exit side 8 , a step-like, annular protruding area 7 disposed radially to the burner center axis.
1. A lean premix burner of a gas-turbine engine comprising:
an annular central body being essentially concentric to a burner center axis and including an annular duct connected to a supply line, a film applicator conically widening toward a fuel exit side, and at least one fuel exit opening connected to the annular duct and issuing into a radially inward area of the film applicator,
wherein the film applicator includes a step-like, annular protruding area adjacent to and downstream of the at least one fuel exit opening toward the fuel exit side, the protruding area protruding radially toward the burner center axis;
wherein the protruding area is cone-shaped;
wherein the protruding area has a cone angle which is equal to an angle of a conical area of the film applicator upstream of the at least one fuel exit opening;
wherein an inflow area of the protruding area is rounded.
2. The lean premix burner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a surface of the film applicator disposed downstream of the fuel exit opening includes a roughened surface.
3. The lean premix burner in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the portion of a surface of the film applicator disposed downstream of the fuel exit opening includes at least one chosen from a groove, a slot, a sandblasted area, and a recess.
4. The lean premix burner in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the at least one chosen from a groove and a slot is positioned in a plane vertical to the burner center axis.
5. The lean premix burner in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a surface of the film applicator disposed downstream of the fuel exit opening includes a roughened surface.
6. The lean premix burner in accordance with claim 5 , wherein the portion of a surface of the film applicator disposed downstream of the fuel exit opening includes at least one chosen from a groove, a slot, a sandblasted area, and a recess.
7. The lean premix burner in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the at least one chosen from a groove and a slot is positioned in a plane vertical to the burner center axis.
