The combustion chamber permits building an engine of a small and compact design. Instead of individual combustion chambers, the primary compressed air is introduced into an annular space formed by a chamber liner around the turbine assembly. A space is left between the outer liner wall and the combustion chamber housing to permit the flow of secondary cooling air from the compressor.
The combustion chamber offers the advantages of a larger combustion volume per unit of exposed area and material weight, a smaller exposed area resulting in lower pressure losses through the unit, and less weight and complete pressure equalization. |
