of transfer tubes 89 typically seven which have opposing ends and surround third passage 82 transfer tubes 89 extend from upstream of first injector 75 to an annular plenum 90 which is adjacent second injector 87 depending on the mode of operation first passage 80 transfer tubes 89 and annular plenum 90 may contain either fuel or air for a combustor having a first combustion chamber and a second combustion chamber as shown in fig5 fuel is supplied to first passage 80 transfer tubes 89 and annular plenum 90 and injected through second injector 87 in an effort to transfer the flame from a first combustion chamber to a second combustion chamber in this type of combustion system 10 there is a first combustion chamber or primary combustion chamber 25 and at least one primary fuel nozzle 28 delivering fuel to primary combustion chamber 25 where initial combustion occurs adjacent to and downstream of primary combustion chamber 25 is a secondary combustion chamber 26 with the combustion chambers separated by a venturi 27 primary fuel nozzles 28 surround secondary fuel nozzle 70 which injects fuel towards secondary combustion chamber 26 to support combustion downstream of venturi 27 from fig5 it can be seen that all fuel from premix secondary fuel nozzle 70 is injected such that it must premix with the surrounding air and pass through cap swirler 91 prior to entering secondary combustion chamber 26 prior art designs allowed fuel from secondary fuel nozzles to pass directly into secondary combustion chamber 26 without passing through cap swirler 91 thereby directly initiating and supporting a pilot flame which is typically a source of high emissions.
