Abstract:
The present invention relation to a burner for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine with a mixing and injection device. The mixing and injection device includes a limiting wall that defines a gas-flow channel and at least two streamlined bodies, each extending in a first transverse direction into the gas-flow channel. Each streamlined body has two lateral surfaces that are arranged essentially parallel to the main-flow direction, the lateral surfaces being joined to one another at their upstream side to form a leading edge of the body and joined at their downstream side to form a trailing edge of the body. Each streamlined body has a cross-section perpendicular to the first transverse direction that is shaped as a streamlined profile. At least one of the streamlined bodies is provided with a mixing structure and with at least one fuel nozzle located at its trailing edge for introducing at least one fuel essentially parallel to the main-flow direction into the flow channel, wherein at least two of the streamlined bodies have different lengths along the first transverse direction such that they may be used for a can combustor. The invention also relates to a method of using said burner in a gas turbine.
Abstract:
The invention refers to burner arrangement for producing hot gases to be expanded in a gas turbine, including a burner inside a plenum, where the burner has means for fuel injection, means for air supply and means for generating an ignitable fuel/air mixture inside the burner, and a combustion chamber following downstream said burner having an outlet being fluidly connected to the gas turbine. The invention is characterized in that the means for air supply includes at least two separate flow passages, and that the one of the two flow passages is fed by a first supply pressure and the other flow passage is fed by a second supply pressure.
Abstract:
The burner includes a swirl chamber. The swirl chamber has a substantially conical shape defining a central axis. The swirl chamber is defined by a plurality of wall elements. A combination of nozzles at the pressure, suction side and trailing edge of the wall element are placed for fuel injection. The wall elements define slots between each other. The slots have different widths (w) in consecutive planes in the axial direction, wherein said planes are perpendicular to the central axis.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a sequential combustor arrangement comprising a first burner, a first combustion chamber, a mixer for admixing a dilution gas via a dilution gas inlet 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 sequential combustor arrangement further includes four cooling zones with a cooling channel. During operation a cooling gas flows through the cooling channels. The disclosure further refers to a method for operating a gas turbine with such a sequential combustor arrangement.
Abstract:
The invention relates a method for mixing a dilution air with a hot main flow in a sequential combustion system of a gas turbine, wherein the gas turbine essentially comprises at least one compressor, a first combustor which is connected downstream to the compressor, and a second combustor. The hot gases of the first combustor are admitted to at least one intermediate turbine or directly or indirectly to at least one second combustor, wherein the hot gases of the second combustor are admitted to a further turbine or directly or indirectly to an energy recovery device. The method comprises a coaxial injection of first combustor liner cooling air with second combustor liner cooling air, the first combustor liner cooling air having a sufficient excess pressure margin with respect to the second combustor liner cooling air.
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.
