ABSTRACT:
A breech loaded fuel nozzle cartridge assembly is provided for use with a fuel nozzle capable of use with gaseous or distillate fuels. The cartridge assembly includes an elongated water delivery pipe having an interior through passageway extending from a rearward open end to a forward open end. A mounting coupling is fixed to the exterior of the pipe adjacent its rearward end for use in mounting the cartridge assembly within the rearward end of a fuel nozzle body. The forward end of the cartridge pipe is provided with an interior water swirler and an exterior distillate fuel swirler, while the forward end of the fuel nozzle body is provided with an air swirler so that at the fuel nozzle tip, an outer conical air spray, an intermediate distillate or gaseous fuel spray and an inner conical water spray combine to provide a homogenous mixture at the point of combustion.
