An air-blast fuel injector assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an annular shroud means operatively associated with a plurality of sleeve means one inside the other in spaced apart relation. The sleeve means form a liquid fuel-receiving chamber, a water or auxiliary fuel-receiving chamber inside the liquid fuel-receiving chamber for discharging water or auxiliary fuel in addition or alternatively to the liquid fuel, an inner air-receiving chamber for receiving and directing compressor discharge air into the fuel spray cone and/or water or auxiliary fuel to mix therewith from the inside. The shroud means forms an outer air-receiving chamber for receiving and directing other compressor discharge air into the fuel spray cone and/or water or auxiliary fuel from the outside for mixing purposes. |
