INTEGRATED COMBUSTION NOZZLE HAVING A UNIFIED HEAD END
DRIVE
December 27, 2023
Integrated combustion nozzles (100) and turbomachines (10) are provided. An integrated combustion nozzle (100) includes a unified head end (200) coupled to a combustion liner (110). The unified head end (200) includes a first fuel nozzle (202) and a second fuel nozzle (204) disposed at a forward end portion of the combustion liner (110). A fuel plenum (248) is defined between the first fuel nozzle (202) and the second fuel nozzle (204). A fuel plenum (206) extends from the first fuel nozzle (202) and into an opening (170, 172) of a first wall of the combustion liner (110) such that the fuel plenum (206) forms a continuous surface with the first wall. The unified head end (200) further includes a second liner portion (208) that extends from the second fuel nozzle (204) and into an opening (170, 172) of a second wall of the combustion liner (110) such that the second liner portion (208) forms a continuous surface with the second wall.
