Abstract
The invention relates to systems enabling the use of cryogenic fuels within combustion engines, including jet engines.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A jet turbine having a plurality of compressor stages for compressing combustion gas and combusting a fuel, the jet turbine comprising:
a cryogenic fuel injector/nozzle for injecting a cryogenic fuel into a cryogenic turbine section, the cryogenic turbine section enabling the vaporization of a cryogenic fuel; and a combustor downstream of the cryogenic fuel injector/nozzle and cryogenic turbine section for combusting vaporized cryogenic fuel wherein combusted cryogenic fuel expands through a combustor turbine operatively connected to upstream compressor stages.
2 . The jet turbine of claim 1 wherein the cryogenic fuel is liquid natural gas.
3 . The jet turbine of claim 2 further comprising a fan operatively connected to the cryogenic turbine section for receiving incoming air.
4 . The jet turbine of claim 1 further comprising a fan operatively connected to the cryogenic turbine section for receiving incoming air.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
