Abstract

An assembly for the catalytic ignition of atomized fuel for combustion within the combustion chamber of a turbine engine places the catalytic fuel igniter in a position to receive the atomized fuel upon entry into the combustion chamber. The igniter is heated to operating temperature so that at least a portion of the atomized fuel enters the combustion chamber in an ignited state.
