Abstract: A liquid fuel spray atomizer nozzle for use with a gas turbine during combustion chamber fuel ignition, comprising a member having a high pressure air blast passageway for directing a stream of air, angularly in relation to the direction of fuel spray from a nozzle into the combustion chamber, so as to atomize and forcibly blow at least a part of the fuel toward an ignition device into ignition proximity therewith. The air blast can be blown directly across the fuel spray pattern or may be directed toward a side of the spray pattern. In all cases, the air must be under sufficient pressure to deflect and atomize the fuel spray sufficiently to provide for its ignition by the spark gap or other igniter.

Abstract: A combustion chamber for a gas turbine power plant of the stepliner type including a plurality of annular double wall stepliner portions. The portions are of various sizes and are arranged concentrically and in order of increasing size from the upstream end toward the downstream end of the chamber. Each double wall liner portion includes an alternating smooth wall member and a serpentinous wall member. In one step, the smooth wall member is the radially inner wall and an overlapping portion of the serpentinous wall member is the radially outer wall. In the adjacent larger step, the serpentinous wall member is the radially inner wall and an overlapping portion of a larger diameter smooth wall member is the radially outer wall. The effect of this construction is to provide a combustion chamber capable of withstanding higher burning temperatures.

Abstract: Degassing apparatus similar to that employed in the D-H process includes means for producing an electric arc of controllable power within the vacuum degassing chamber during the degassing operation to supply heat to the molten material. The electrode includes means forming a fluid cooled arcing surface and a magnetic field coil for setting up a magnetic field so oriented with respect to the arc that a force is exerted on the arc which substantially continuously moves the arc along the arcing surface thereby reducing evaporation of material from the arcing surface and resulting in a more even distribution of heat to the molten metal within the vacuum chamber.

Abstract: A gas turbine power plant having a combustion section defined by a casing structure divided into upper and lower semi-cylindrical casing halves along a horizontal plane. The casing halves encompass an annular array of combustion chambers equally spaced from the central axis of the turbine. The end wall of the casing structure has an annular array of equally spaced openings, at least one of the openings having a smaller diameter than the maximum diameter of the associated combustion chamber. This enables a closer clustering of the combustion chambers and a corresponding decrease in the diameter of the casing structure.

Abstract: Apparatus for detecting the existence of a flame in a combustion chamber by means including an electroacoustic device for converting audible sounds which occur only when the flame is present into an electrical signal having a frequency component corresponding to the frequency of the audible sound. If necessary, a filter may be incorporated into the converting means for eliminating frequencies which occur due to the introduction of fuel and/or a gas containing oxygen into the combustion chamber without the existence of a flame. Alternatively, a threshold detector can be incorporated into the system for detecting audible sounds above a predetermined sound level only, which sounds are those due to the existence of a flame.
