Filed:
Jun 25, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/482911
Inventors:

Abstract:
A catalytic combustor has an array of fuel injectors and air inductor elements, upstream of a catalytic member in the combustor. Each fuel injector and air inductor arrangement is associated with a discrete passageway confining the air/fuel mixture to a portion of and the catalytic member wherein the combustion of the mixture is initiated. Each fuel injector and air inductor arrangement is provided with controls to vary the fuel and air flowing into each passageway, respectively. This permits the variation of combustion intensity within the catalytic element, which in turn permits a regulatable temperature profile at the exit end of the combustor.
