Abstract
Thirty-five combustor configurations were tested to determine emissions characteristics. Chemical kinetics of emissions formation are discussed. A design technique that achieved significant NOx reductions in a gas turbine combustor was demonstrated. This technique involved the application of recuperator (or regenerator) bypass air directly into the combustor primary zone. The vaporizer combustor resulted in the most significant improvement by the use of bypass flow. The optimum low emissions engine would use an engine cycle and variable bypass flow that have been matched to provide the best balance between fuel economy and related emissions. Variable recuperator bypass is a simple and convenient alternative to variable combustor geometry. The required control system is simpler and has the potential of: lower cost; higher reliability; and better maintainability. Portions of this document are not fully legible.
