Annular Combustor

A single-piece combustor for a gas turbine engine made in the shape of a ring or a cylinder. Fuel is sprayed from nozzles mounted around a fuel manifold into the inner liner of the combustor. There, it is mixed with air from the compressor and burned. Annular combustors make the most effective use of the space they occupy, and they are the most efficient type of combustor used in both large and small gas turbine engines.
