摘要:
A combustor minimizes combustion emissions at a lower level of combustion dynamics during combustor even fuel-split conditions by varying the fuel impedance through geometrical changes or inert addition in various nozzle groups than that achievable during combustor even fuel-split conditions with a multi-fuel nozzle combustor using a nozzle fuel impedance that is common to all nozzles while emitting substantially the same level of combustion emissions.

A combustion dynamics control system for an aviation based or land based gas turbine engine employs an acoustic driver that is configured to drive pressure perturbations across a premixed fuel injection orifice to substantially zero in response to a control signal such that fuel flow perturbations across the fuel injection orifice are substantially zero.

摘要:
A gas turbine engine control system comprises a data acquisition and analysis system for receiving a signal from a combustion dynamics sensor and providing an output signal and a combustion dynamics control system for controlling combustion dynamics based on the output signal. The control system is associated with a purge-air flow and comprises an acoustic driver, or a flow-manipulating device, or both to perturb the purge-air flow entering the combustor can for controlling combustion dynamics.

A system comprises a gas turbine combustor having a plurality of combustor cans, crossfire tubes for connecting combustor cans, and a tubular connection system connecting the combustor cans to control combustion dynamics. The tubular connection system comprises tubes for connecting at least a pair of the combustor cans.
摘要:
A system and method each utilize combustion dynamics data to monitor and assess gas turbine combustor health and performance. The system and method each employ a physics-based model to differentiate changes in the spectral features attributable to variations in the operating conditions from differences caused from changes in the hardware.
摘要:
A combustor for a gas turbine engine and related method is provided in which a plurality of combustor cans are selectively adapted with corresponding resonators. The resonators may, for example, be attached to every can in the consecutive arrangement of combustor cans, every other can, every third can or the like, and may be tuned to the same or first, second, third, etc. frequencies of operation. Such selective tuning is configured to suppress one or more of out-of-phase and in-phase dynamic interaction of streams discharged from adjacent combustor cans by changing the frequencies of pressure oscillation instabilities across the arrangement of consecutive cans.
摘要:
A tunable fluid flow control system for controlling combustion dynamics in a combustor is disclosed. The control system includes a fuel supply path having an inlet portion, a first diverted portion, a second diverted portion, and an exit portion. A first diverted portion has a first length and a first diameter. A second diverted portion has a second length and a second diameter and spaced apart from the first diverted portion. The first and second diverted portions converge at a merging location. The exit portion is coupled to the merging location of the first and second diverted portions. At least one flow regulation device is coupled to the inlet portion and configured to divert fuel flow to the first and second diverted portions alternately to generate fuel flow perturbations at the merging location.
摘要:
The present application provides a fuel nozzle system. The fuel nozzle system may include a pre-orifice for a first pressure drop, a captured response volume in communication with the pre-orifice, a post-orifice in communication with the captured response volume for a second pressure drop, and a secondary fuel passage downstream of the post-orifice for a third pressure drop. The second pressure drop is less than the first pressure drop and the third pressure drop is less than the second pressure drop.
