Abstract
A fuel supply system for a gas turbine engine comprises a housing having a housing interior chamber and a fuel swirler disposed inside the housing interior chamber. The fuel swirler has an upstream end and downstream end relative to a fuel flow direction along a fuel nozzle longitudinal axis. The fuel swirler has a first axial fuel passage along the longitudinal axis in fluid communication with a first fuel supply and terminating at a first fuel outlet at the downstream end, a second axial fuel passage along the longitudinal axis in fluid communication with a second fuel supply and terminating at a second fuel outlet at the downstream end, and a plurality of compressed air outlets at the downstream end. The first fuel outlet is positioned on an outermost surface of the fuel swirler and leads directly to a mixing site downstream of the fuel swirler.
