摘要:
An arrangement (10) for delivering gases from combustors (15) to a first row of blades. The arrangement (10) includes at least an upstream flow path (60) including an aft first side wall (64) and a downstream flow path (62) including a forward second side wall (66). A convergence junction trailing edge (40) is defined at a downstream terminal edge (41) of the first side wall (64), and the second side wall (66) converges toward the first side wall (64) in the direction of the convergence junction trailing edge (40). An impingement sheet structure (78) is located between and provides impingement cooling air to the first and second side walls (64, 66). Openings (88) provide a cooling air passage between the first and second side walls (64, 66) and provide a flow of post impingement air into the gas path at the convergence junction trailing edge (40).

An improved combustion system having a reduced combustion residence time in a combustion turbine engine is provided. The combustor system may include a flow-accelerating structure (16, 51) having an inlet (26) and an outlet (28). The inlet of the flow-accelerating structure is fluidly coupled to receive a flow of combustion gases from a combustor outlet. At least one fuel injector (32, 64, 66) is disposed between the inlet and the outlet of the flow-accelerating structure. The flow-accelerating structure causes an increasing speed to the flow of combustion gases, and, as a result, the flow of combustion gases in the flow-accelerating structure experiences a decreased static temperature and a reduced combustion residence time, each of which is effective to reduce NOx emissions at the high firing temperatures of the turbine engine.

A ducting arrangement (12) for a combustion turbine engine is provided. The arrangement includes a ceramic liner (22) defining a hot gas path throughout a length of the ducting arrangement. A cooling sleeve (24) is disposed circumferentially outwardly onto the ceramic liner along the length. A metallic support frame (26) is disposed circumferentially outwardly onto the cooling sleeve along the length. The cooling sleeve may be structured with structural features along the length for biasing against the ceramic liner and the metallic support frame to resiliently accept mechanical and thermal growth induced loading that develops between the ceramic liner and the metallic support frame during operating conditions of the combustion turbine engine.

A transition duct system (10) for delivering hot-temperature gases from a plurality of combustors in a combustion turbine engine is provided. The system includes an exit piece (16) for each combustor. The exit piece may include an arcuate connecting segment (36). An arcuate ceramic liner (60) may be inwardly disposed onto a metal outer shell (38) along the arcuate connecting segment of the exit piece. Structural arrangements are provided to securely attach the ceramic liner in the presence of substantial flow path pressurization. Cost-effective serviceability of the transition duct systems is realizable since the liner can be readily removed and replaced as needed.

A loading assembly for a turbine system is disclosed. The loading assembly includes a transition duct and a load member. The transition duct extends between a fuel nozzle and a turbine section, and has an inlet, an outlet, and a passage extending between the inlet and the outlet and defining a longitudinal axis, a radial axis, and a tangential axis. The outlet of the transition duct is offset from the inlet along the longitudinal axis and the tangential axis. The load member extends from the transition duct and is configured to transfer a load between the transition duct and an adjacent transition duct along at least one of the longitudinal axis, the radial axis, or the tangential axis.

A midframe portion (313) of a gas turbine engine (310) is presented and includes a compressor section with a last stage blade to orient an air flow (311) at a first angle (372). The midframe portion (313) further includes a turbine section with a first stage blade to receive the air flow (311) oriented at a second angle (374). The midframe portion (313) further includes a manifold (314) to directly couple the air flow (311) from the compressor section to a combustor head (318) upstream of the turbine section. The combustor head (318) introduces an offset angle in the air flow (311) from the first angle (372) to the second angle (374) to discharge the air flow (311) from the combustor head (318) at the second angle (374). While introducing the offset angle, the combustor head (318) at least maintains or augments the first angle (372).
