Abstract
A combustion liner assembly for a gas turbine combustor includes a plurality of fuel nozzles disposed circumferentially about a central axis of the combustor, and a venturi section disposed downstream of the fuel nozzles and connected to a head end of the liner assembly. The venturi section defines an annular throat area downstream of the fuel nozzles. A liner sleeve is connected to and commences at a downstream end of the venturi section. At least a portion of the venturi section serves as a liner upstream of the liner sleeve.
Description
- The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for minimizing or eliminating dilution air leakage paths in a gas turbine combustor and, more particularly, the invention relates to apparatus and methods for managing dilution air leakage to achieve lower emission levels.
- As is well known, significant products of combustion in gas turbine emissions are oxides of nitrogen, i.e., NO and NO2 collectively called NOx, carbon monoxide CO, and unburned hydrocarbons as well as other particulates. Various systems have been proposed and utilized for reducing emissions. For example, water or steam injection into the burning zone of the gas turbine combustor, catalytic clean-up of NOx and CO from the gas turbine exhaust and dry low NOx combustors have been used in the past. Compressor discharge dilution air introduced into the liner sleeve of the combustor and transition piece has also been utilized to reduce emissions.
- It would be desirable to substantially reduce or eliminate leaks so that air flow in more non-critical areas is conserved and made more consistent from can to can. Additionally, it would be desirable to substantially reduce or eliminate leaks so that air flow can be increased in usable areas in a more dispersed and even mixing through the mixing holes.
- In an exemplary embodiment, a combustion liner assembly for a gas turbine combustor includes a plurality of fuel nozzles disposed circumferentially about a central axis of the combustor, and a venturi section disposed downstream of the fuel nozzles and connected to a head end of the liner assembly. The venturi section defines an annular throat area downstream of the fuel nozzles. A liner sleeve is connected to and commences at a downstream end of the venturi section. At least a portion of the venturi section serves as a liner upstream of the liner sleeve.
- In another exemplary embodiment, a method of reducing air flow losses between a venturi section and a liner sleeve of a combustion liner assembly in a gas turbine includes the steps of utilizing at least a portion of the venturi section as a liner upstream of the liner sleeve; and providing an annular weld at a joint between the venturi section and the liner sleeve and at a joint between the venturi section and a head end of the combustion liner assembly.
- In still another exemplary embodiment, a combustion liner assembly for a gas turbine combustor includes a venturi section connected to a head end of the liner assembly via an annular weld, where the venturi section defines an annular throat area within the liner assembly; and a liner sleeve connected to and commencing at a downstream end of the venturi section, where the liner sleeve is connected to the downstream end of the venturi section via an annular weld. At least a portion of the venturi section serves as a liner upstream of the liner sleeve.
-
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of one-half of a combustion liner assembly about a combustor center line; -
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment with the venturi section serving as part of the liner; -
FIG. 3 is an alternative design; -
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment utilizing a connector; -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of still another alternative embodiment; and -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of yet another embodiment. - Referring now to the drawings, particularly to
FIG. 1 , there is illustrated a combustion liner assembly, generally designated 10, including acap centerbody 12, aliner sleeve 14, a primary fuelnozzle cup assembly 16 and aventuri section 18. It will be appreciated that thecombustion liner assembly 10 is cylindrical or annular in configuration about acenterline axis 20 and that a plurality ofprimary fuel nozzles 16 are spaced circumferentially one from the other aboutaxis 20. Aswirler 22 is shown as part of thecap centerbody 12. Theliner sleeve 14 has an inlet including a plurality of circumferentially spacedapertures 24 which receive compressor discharge air from a plenum (not shown) between the combustion liner assembly and the combustion flowsleeve/casing. Theventuri 18 comprises a prefabricated double walled annular structure disposed within theliner sleeve 14 and includes an inner liner/wall 26 and an outer liner/wall 28. Theventuri 18 has a radialinward apex 30 which defines athroat area 32 with thecenter cap body 12. The inner andouter liners venturi 18 include inner andouter wall portions cup assembly 16. Thewall portions liner sleeve 14 byrivets 42. In the prior art design, theouter liner 28 of theventuri section 18 is also secured to the liner sleeve 14 downstream of the venturi by a plurality of circumferentially spacedrivets 44. As best illustrated inFIG. 1 , theliner sleeve 14 is recessed radially inwardly to overlay theouter liner 28 ofventuri 18 forming essentially an indented band for securing theliner sleeve 14 andouter venturi sleeve 28 to one another. - It has been discovered that variations in the leakage paths of the dilution air supplied to the combustor have a significant effect on emissions and that these variations are a result of parts tolerances and assembly of the parts. For example, a primary leakage path of concern is between the
liner sleeve 14 and theouter sleeve 28 of theventuri 18 in the area of therivets 44. It will be seen that the compressor discharge air supplied to theannular plenum 46 from externally of the combustion liner viaapertures 24 may leak past the riveted connection. Variations in leakage flow past the riveted joint, however, have been discovered with respect to various identical combustors, and consequently, emissions will vary. Those emissions resulting from leakage path flows heretofore have not been identified or controlled. - There is an additional leakage path for the dilution air flowing from
plenum 46 into the space between the inner andouter venturi sleeves apertures 50 in theouter venturi sleeve 28. This additional leakage path passes between the flanges 38 and 40 of the inner andouter liners venturi 18. While these flanges 38 and 40 in the past engaged each another and were riveted to theliner sleeve 14, a variable gap between the flanges and from combustion liner to identical combustion liner appeared, resulting in variable emissions from ostensibly identical combustors. - A further leakage gap appears between the
liner sleeve 14 and the overlapped flanges 38 and 40 ofventuri 18. These gaps have been demonstrated to vary between identically constructed combustors and hence result in leakage flows causing variable emissions. Also, it is important that theventuri throat area 32 must be maintained within pre-determined limits, notwithstanding the removability of the venturi from the liner sleeve for maintenance and service. It is also important that the throat area be maintained upon original manufacture of the venturi and liner sleeve and throughout the various service procedures performed on the combustor during its life. -
FIGS. 2 and 5 show an exemplary embodiment with an integrated venturi section and liner that substantially reduces or eliminates leakage areas and leakage losses. As shown, theventuri section 18 is connected to ahead end 62 of the liner assembly. Like the current design, the flanges 38, 40 of thewall portions FIG. 2 , however, in an area between the position at which an upstream end of theventuri section 18 is secured to thehead end 62 and a downstream end of theventuri section 18, theliner sleeve 14 is removed. Anannular weld 64 seals the joint between the upstream end of theventuri section 18 and thehead end 62. Additionally, the downstream end of theventuri section 18 is connected to theliner sleeve 14 via anannular weld 66. In this manner, a portion of theventuri section 18 serves as a liner upstream of the shortenedliner sleeve 14. This structure effectively integrates theventuri section 18 and theliner sleeve 14. -
FIG. 3 shows a more complex design utilizing an expansion joint orslip joint 68 including afork section 681 and astraight section 682. In this embodiment, thefork section 681 is integral with thehead end 62 andventuri section 18. As a consequence, a leak path at the venturi section connection to the head end is eliminated. Cooling air is passed throughapertures 69 in thestraight section 682. If air leaks around theslip joint 68, then it has no affect on the performance of the combustor because air is already being allowed into the hollow venturi cavity from theapertures 69 in the outermost liner wall. - Yet another alternative embodiment is shown in
FIG. 4 . In this embodiment, aconnector part 70, which is preferably a machined connector part, connects theventuri section 18 to thehead end 62. As shown, in a preferred construction, theconnector part 70 is Y-shaped including anend post 72 and asplit end 74. Thesplit end 74 is welded to the inner and outer walls of theventuri section 18, and theend post 72, which is thicker than thesplit end 74, is welded to thehead end 62. With the connector part, a larger area of thecombustion liner 14 is removed. Arrow A inFIG. 4 illustrates the axial length over which the liner is removed. -
FIG. 6 illustrates yet another alternative embodiment. In this embodiment, all gaps and leak paths between theventuri section 18 and thehead end 62 in between theventuri section 18 and theliner sleeve 14 are sealed via an annular seal, such as by brazing or the like. During assembly, the liner can be tipped upright to allow the braze material to wick into the gaps. - The described embodiments substantially reduce or eliminate air flow losses between the venturi wall and the liner wall. Elimination of air flow losses will allow more consistent air flow to be utilized in the fuel air mixture in the head end combustion zone rather than leaking air flow into direct stream. The simple constructions as described use similar parts and technology as is found in current designs. The embodiments are easy to manufacture and will produce a more repeatable air flow from can to can and will in turn help to create better fuel air mixture patterns than the current design while also lowering combustion emissions. The design substantially reduces or eliminates air flow leaks in areas between the venturi and the liner wall so that the air flow can be used in areas in a more dispersed and even mixing through the mixing holes than with the current design. The components can be used as control points to adjust air flow such that additional air flow by virtue of the reduced air flow losses can be utilized to lower emissions as well as lower variation from can to can.
- While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
