ABSTRACT:
An improved dual-head combustion chamber is disclosed having a generally annular configuration extending about a central axis with a low power head, operating during low power engine conditions and a radially displaced high power head operative under high power engine operating conditions. The low power head has N number of fuel/air injector assemblies arranged in an annular array and spaced apart in a circumferential direction about the central axis. The fuel/air injector assemblies of the low power head have an air permeability of P1. The high power head also is arranged in a generally annular array with N number of first fuel/air injector assemblies and N number of second fuel/air injector assemblies with each of the second fuel/air injector assemblies aligned with a fuel/air injector assembly of the low power head along a radius line extending from the central axis. The second fuel/air injector assemblies have an air permeability of P2 such that P2 is greater than P1 and supply a fuel/air mixture to the combustion chamber during high power operation. The first fuel/air injector assemblies located in the high power head are located circumferentially spaced between adjacent second fuel/air injector assemblies. The first fuel/air injector assemblies have an air permeability of P1 and supply fuel/air mixture to the combustion chamber during low power operation.
