Title:
SINGLE-FITTING, DUAL-CIRCUIT FUEL NOZZLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/012908
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A manifold fitting receiving radial and axial manifolds and providing two radial outlets is disclosed. The manifold fitting, when used in conjunction with a fuel injector and a combustor for a gas turbine engine, reduces the radial footprint of the fuel injector and thereby allows for a more compact engine. Additionally, the manifold fitting eliminates parts, reducing weight in the process, as compared to prior art fittings. Such reductions in size, parts count, and weight are particularly beneficial for aircraft applications.
