Radial Can-Annular DLE
Combustor
The Radial DLE combustor is
a radical departure from the
aero version with DLE
designed in up front
Phase 5 annular combustor
(similar to Aero Trent)
Number of
Combustors
Single fully annular
combustor with steel outer
casing and NIMONIC 263
liner
Eighteen fuel nozzles
Series Staged 9 Can Type
DLE radially mounted pre-mix
lean burner chambers with a
single fuel injector for each
can
8 Can Type DLE with reverse
