ABSTRACT:
A generally cup-shaped fuel slinger concentrically secured by its base portion to a rotatable shaft located in a combustion chamber and having a radially inwardly extending lip at its open end provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced notches opening toward the shaft and spaced at their bottommost portion from the inner annular surface of the slinger side wall. Fuel is delivered by a single tube through the open end of the slinger and is centrifuged outwardly against the inner annular surface of the slinger side wall, and thereafter delivered from the slinger to the combustion chamber through the notches. The slinger is located between a radial turbine and a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The fuel supply tube projects axially through a vane in the diffuser, radially along the diffuser, and then axially into the fuel slinger between the lip and the outer periphery of the adjacent shaft portion. In the disclosed embodiment the notches are generally V-shaped.
