Abstract

A fuel injection nozzle for a turbo engine is mounted at the base of a costion chamber, either tubular or annular, by means of an intermediate inwardly flared member having openings through its sides for admitting cooling air. An annular flange structure around the intermediate member supports the same and defines an annular space with the base of the chamber for a layer of cooling air admitted to that space through holes in the base. Several forms are disclosed in each of which the various holes and air inlets are dimensioned and positioned to provide a stoichiometric mixture of air and fuel under substantially all conditions of operation.
