Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixing arrangement for mixing a fuel with a stream of oxygen containing gas flowing along an axis in an axial channel, especially in the second combustor of a gas turbine with sequential combustion. The mixing is improved and the mixing length reduced by said mixing arrangement comprising an injector with at least one injector ring, which is passed by said stream of gas inside and outside.
Abstract:
A reheat burner arrangement including a center body, an annular duct with a cross-section area, an intermediate fuel injection plane located along the center body and being actively connected to the cross section area of the annular duct, wherein the center body is located upstream of a combustion chamber, wherein the structure of the reheat burner arrangement is defined by various parameters and the structure of the reheat burner arrangement is defined by various dependencies.
Abstract:
A combustor arrangement for a gas turbine includes a first burner, a first combustion chamber, a mixer for admixing a dilution gas to the gases leaving the first combustion chamber during operation, a second burner, and a second combustion chamber arranged sequentially in a fluid flow connection. These elements of the combustor arrangement are arranged in a row to form a flow path extending between the first combustion chamber and the second burner. The combustor arrangement includes acentral lance body arranged inside the flow path and extending from the first burner through the first combustion chamber into the mixer and into the second burner, wherein the lance body includes a fuel duct for providing fuel for the first burner and/or for the second burner.

These elements of the combustor arrangement are arranged in a row to form a flow path extending between the first combustion chamber and the second burner. The arrangement includes a central lance body in the flow path, extending from the first burner into the second burner, which lance body includes at least one air duct for providing air for the mixer, wherein the air is injected into the combustor through air supply elements.
Abstract:
The invention referring to a sequential combustor arrangement including a first burner, a first combustion chamber, a mixer arrangement for admixing a dilution air to the hot gases leaving the first combustion chamber during operation, a second burner, and a second combustion chamber arranged sequentially in a fluid flow connection. The mixer is adapted to guide combustion gases in a hot gas flow path extending between the first combustion chamber. The second burner including a duct having an inlet at an upstream end adapted for connection to the first combustion chamber and an outlet at a downstream end adapted for connection to the second burner. The mixer includes at least one group of injection pipes pointing inwards from the side walls of the mixer for admixing the dilution air to cool the hot flue gases leaving the first combustion chamber. The injection pipes are distributed circumferentially along the side wall of the mixer and wherein the injection pipes having a conical or quasi-conical shape addressed to the center of the mixer.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for operating a gas turbine with sequential combustion, which gas turbine includes a compressor, a first combustor with a first combustion chamber and first burners, which receives compressed air from the compressor, a second combustor with a second combustion chamber and second burners, which receives hot gas from the first combustor with a predetermined second combustor inlet temperature, and a turbine, which receives hot gas from the second combustor. The CO emission for part-load operation is reduced by reducing the second combustor inlet temperature for base-load operation of the gas turbine, and increasing the second combustor inlet temperature when decreasing the gas turbine load (RLGT) from base-load to part-load.
