Abstract
A hot gas generator includes a dual fuel injector (42) having spaced fuel discharge nozzles (48, 60) on the longitudinal axis (28) of a vessel (18) having a narrow inlet (22), an opposite narrow outlet (14) and an intermediate, enlarged chamber (24) which serves as a combustion chamber. The nozzle (60) injects a spray cone (64) of fuel in a cone angle that is sufficiently wide that a large angle exists between the fuel spray and the path (54) of high velocity combustion gases moving toward the outlet (14) to achieve excellent vaporization of fuel at fuel rich conditions without causing carbon buildup and/or the generation of black smoke in the exhaust.
