combustor , auch: combuster

At high power levels, the main zone is used as well, increasing air and mass flow through the combustor.

It is usually placed between the compressor outlet and the combustor.

Early gas turbine engines used a single chamber known as a can type combustor.

If this happens the combustor can be seriously damaged.

Further diffusion is then required to get the air velocity down to a suitable level for the combustor.

Fuel injection is often into a sheltered region below a step in the combustor wall.

Hot gases leaving the combustor are allowed to expand through the turbine.

A reverse flow combustor and a mixed exhaust were other features.

The combustor then heats this air at constant pressure.

The flame (combustion) must be held (contained) inside of the combustor.

One major difference is the lack of rotating machinery (a turbine) after the combustor.

A combustor must contain and maintain stable combustion despite very high air flow rates.

The air is carefully used to produce the uniform temperature profile desired in the combustor.

The turbine which the combustor feeds needs high pressure flow to operate efficiently.

The combustor exhaust is directly fed to a nozzle.

A reverse flow combustor and forced mixer/common exhaust are also featured in the design.

Afterburners are often considered another type of combustor.

Like a ramjet, they consist of an inlet, a combustor, and a nozzle.

The combustor was annular and the exhaust separate jets.

The burning process in the combustor is significantly different from that in a piston engine.

Increasing the overall pressure ratio of the compression system also raises the combustor entry temperature.

Both routes require an increase in the combustor fuel flow and, therefore, the heat energy added to the core stream.

This is the "circulating" nature of the combustor.

Space and weight is at a premium in aircraft applications, so a well designed combustor strives to be compact.

Ramjets always slow the incoming air to a subsonic velocity within the combustor.
