CHAMBER TYPE | ADVANTAGES | DISADVANTAGES |
Multiple Can/Tubular | MaintenanceWell suited to centrifugal compressor enginesIt can be individually removed for inspectionCompressor discharge air is equally divided | Increased volume, weight, and frontal area Increased pressure dropsThe complex combustion process |
Annular | Used in both small and large engines Reduces the pressure loss Compact size | Less structural integrity Difficult to obtain even temperature distribution Difficult development |
Can Annular/ Tuboannular | Reduced shaft length Easier maintenance and development Combines ease of overhaul and testing of the multiple can arrangement with the compactness of annular combustor | Increased volume, weight, and frontal area Increased pressure drops |
