INTERNALLY-MOUNTED TORCH IGNITERS WITH REMOVABLE IGNITER HEADS

A torch igniter for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes an igniter body (20) and an igniter head. The igniter body is disposed within a high-pressure case (18) of a gas turbine engine and extends primarily along a first axis, and includes an annular wall and an outlet wall. The annular wall surrounds the first axis and defines a radial extent of a combustion chamber therewithin. The outlet wall is disposed at a downstream end of the annular wall, defines a downstream extent of the combustion chamber, and includes an outlet fluidly communicating between the combustion chamber and an interior of the combustor. The igniter head (22) is removably attached to the igniter body at an upstream end of the annular wall, wherein the igniter head defines an upstream extent of the combustion chamber, and includes an ignition source and a fuel injector (34).
