Abstract
In order to optimize ignition capabilities, while at the same time enhancing the life span of an igniter, a stored energy combustor (10) has an igniter (34) disposed within a fuel injector (26). The fuel injector (26) is disposed in a tubular extension (16) leading to a combustion chamber (20) and has a discharge end (28) communicating with a point of entry into the combustion chamber (20). An oxidant inlet port (24) is provided upstream of the combustion chamber (20) for directing oxidant into the combustion chamber (20). The oxidant inlet port (24) directs oxidant through the tubular extension (16) leading to the combustion chamber (20) in surrounding relation to the fuel injector (26). With this arrangement, the igniter (34) is disposed within the fuel injector (26) along a longitudinal axis (22) of the stored energy combustor (10).
