- GB 2 309 296 A discloses a gas turbine engine combustor wherein the combustor comprises an inner combustor wall and an outer combustor wall. To the combustor wall damping holes are formed. The damping holes are arranged uniformly over the wall section, i.e. the damping holes have the same distances between each other.
- EP 1 104 871 Al discloses a combustion chamber for a gas tur- bine engine, wherein the combustion chamber is a twin wall combustion chamber.
- An inner wall and an outer wall of the twin wall combustion chamber comprise effusion holes in order to provide an impingement cooling.
- the effusion holes are uniformly distributed over the effective inner wall or outer wall.
- EP 1 321 713 A2 discloses an improved flame tube of a combus ⁇ tion chamber of a gas turbine. Cooling air is guidable through apertures of the respective walls of the flame tube.
- This object may be solved by a housing for a combustion cham ⁇ ber for a gas turbine, by a combustion chamber for a gas tur- bine and by a method for producing a combustion chamber for a gas turbine according to the independent claims.
- a hous ⁇ ing for a combustion chamber for a gas turbine comprises a wall element which comprises a first hole arrangement and a second hole arrangement.
- the first hole arrangement comprises first holes through which first holes fluid is streamable.
- the first hole arrangement further comprises a first areal density of the first holes.
- the sec ⁇ ond hole arrangement comprises second holes through which second holes fluid is streamable.
- the second hole arrangement further comprises a second areal density of the second holes.
- the first areal density differs from the second areal den ⁇ sity.
- the combus- tion chamber comprises an inner housing which comprises the features of the above described housing and an outer housing which may also comprise the features of the above described housing.
- the outer wall element of the outer housing at least partially envelopes the inner wall element of the inner hous- ing such that a gap between the inner wall element and the further outer wall element is formed.
- the terms “inner” and “outer” relate to a relative position i.e. of the inner and outer wall elements with respect to the distance between the wall element and the flame volume in the combustion chamber.
- the center axis of the combustion chamber may be a symmetry line of a (e.g. cylindrically formed) com ⁇ bustion chamber (such as a can-type combustion chamber), i.e. passing though the flame region or it may be for example par- allel or even coincide with the rotor centre line of the gas turbine (such as an annular combustion chamber) .
- a method for producing a combustion chamber of a gas turbine is presented.
- a first hole arrangement which comprises first holes is formed into an inner wall ele ⁇ ment of an inner housing, wherein through the first holes fluid is streamable and wherein the first hole arrangement comprises a first areal density of the first holes.
- a second hole arrangement which comprises second holes is formed into the inner wall element, wherein through the second holes fluid is streamable and wherein the second hole arrangement comprises a second areal density of the second holes.
- the first areal density differs from the second areal density.
- area density surface density
- a wall element of a housing for a combustion chamber comprises the first hole arrangement with the first areal density and the second hole arrangement with the second areal density.
- the holes of a wall element are distributed non-uniformly and are particular adapted to respective flow characteristics of a respective fluid which flows along the wall element.
- the housing for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine may be an inner housing which surrounds for example the combustion volume of the combustion chamber.
- the housing may further be an outer housing which partially surrounds the inner housing.
- a twin-walled or double-walled combustion chamber i.e. a dou- ble skin liner
- a gap may exist between the inner housing and the outer housing.
- a fluid e.g. a cooling fluid/gas, which streams along the outer wall element, may enter through the first and second holes of the outer wall element into the gap for cooling purposes. The fluid may fur- ther flow from the gap through the first and second holes of the inner wall element into the combustion space of the com ⁇ bustion chamber for cooling purposes.
- the inner wall of the inner housing of a double skin liner envelopes a burner volume of the combustion chamber.
- an outer wall of an outer housing surrounds the inner wall of such the double skin liner in such a way that a gap is pro- vided. Consequently, the gap also surrounds the burner vol ⁇ ume.
- a cooling fluid stream is streamable through the respec ⁇ tive holes of the outer wall into the gap. The cooling fluid streams further from the gap between the two wall elements through the holes of the inner wall into the burner volume of the combustion chamber.
- holes of wall elements of housings for combustion chambers are distributed uniformly.
- the first hole arrangement and second hole arrangement comprise one and the same areal density of the respective holes.
- the holes are distributed non-uniformly in the (inner and outer) housing of the combustion chamber. Thereby, the distribution of the holes may be adapted and customized to the flow parameters of the (burned) fluid of the combustion chamber and to the flow parameters of the cooling gas.
- the combustion dynamics inside the combustion cham- ber may be reduced.
- a longer life of the housing and other combustion components results due to e.g. the reduction of fluctuation in the temperature profile at the wall ele ⁇ ments.
- the turbine efficiency and the operating tem- perature of the turbine may be increased without affecting the life of the housing of the combustion chamber.
- the nitrogen (NOx) emissions may be reduced for example by operating the gas turbine with a lean-burn combustion, i.e. by a lower pilot fuel split inside the gas turbine.
- the combustion chamber may operate at lower nitrogen (NOx) emissions because for example more air may be fed to the combustion process for providing a lean-burn com- bustion. Furthermore, the flame temperature is reduced due to the lean-burn combustion.
- the wall element is formed for at least partially extending along a circumferential direction around the central axis of the combustion chamber.
- the combustion chamber is formed cylin- drically (or conically) .
- the central axis forms e.g. the sym ⁇ metry axis of the combustion chamber, for example.
- the first holes of the first hole arrangement are formed into the wall element one after another along the circumferential direction for forming at least one first row of the first holes.
- the second holes of the second hole arrangement are formed into the wall ele ⁇ ment one after another along the circumferential direction for forming at least one second row of second holes.
- the amount of first holes are equal for example to the amount of the second holes seen over the whole circumference, but the areal density for each row of holes varies between the first and second rows of holes.
- the second holes of the second hole arrangement are formed into the wall ele ⁇ ment one after another along the circumferential direction for forming at least one second row of second holes. Because the first holes in the first hole arrangement comprise a first areal density which differs from the second areal den ⁇ sity of the second holes of the second hole arrangement, the amount of first holes differs for example to the amount of the second holes.
- the amount of first rows differs from the amount of second rows. Additionally or alternatively, the amount of first holes in the first row differs from an amount of second holes of a second row. This results in a first areal density, which differs from the sec ⁇ ond areal density, and thus in a non-uniform distribution of first and second holes along the wall element.
- the first holes of the first hole arrangement are formed into the wall ele ⁇ ment one after another along a first direction. The first di- rection differs from the circumferential direction for forming at least one further first row of first holes.
- the first angle between first direction and the circumferen- tial direction is between approximately 10° and approximately 80°, in particular between approximately 30° and approxi ⁇ mately 60°.
- the first holes are arranged into the wall element such that the further first row runs in a spiral way along the respective (e.g. tubular) wall element.
- the second holes of the second hole arrangement are formed into the wall ele ⁇ ment one after another along a second direction.
- the second direction differs from the circumferential direction and/or from the first direction for forming at least one further second row of the second holes.
- the second angle between the second direction and the circum- ferential direction is between approximately 10° and approxi ⁇ mately 80°, in particular between approximately 30° and ap ⁇ proximately 60°.
- the respective first and/or second holes are formed one after another along a respective first and second directions such that the respective further first row and the respective further second row may form a helical (i.e. spi ⁇ ral) run around the centre axis along the wall element.
- an outer wall element of an outer housing is arranged with re ⁇ spect to the inner wall element such that the outer wall ele ⁇ ment at least partially envelopes the inner wall element and such that a gap between the inner wall element and the outer wall element is formed.
- a further first hole arrangement is formed into the outer wall element, wherein the further first hole arrangement comprises further first holes through which further first holes a further fluid (e.g. cooling fluid/gas) is streamable.
- the fur ⁇ ther first hole arrangement comprises a further first areal density of the further first holes.
- a further second hole arrangement which comprises further second holes is formed into the outer wall element, wherein through the further second holes a further fluid (e.g. cooling fluid/gas) is streamable, wherein the further second hole arrangement comprises the further second areal density of the second holes.
- the further first areal density differs from the fur ⁇ ther second areal density.
- the total hole area for the inner and or outer wall is dis- tributed over the wall such that bands or areas of different hole density emerges.
- the criteria for the distribution de ⁇ pend on the flow parameters which may be for example the tem ⁇ perature, the flow velocity, the flow direction and/or the turbulence of the fluid and/or a further fluid.
- the arrangement of the first holes and the second holes are designed and formed while taking into account the flow parameters of the respec ⁇ tive fluid.
- an effective hole distribution of the holes and hence an improved guidance of the fluid and the further fluid along the respective wall elements is provided.
- the efficiency of the combustion chamber due to the adapted hole arrangement is achieved.
- holes of hole arrangements in a wall element may be at the beginning of the method equally distributed and hence comprise an equal areal hole density.
- some of the holes may be removed from the existing hole arrangements, such that a non-equal distribution and a non-equal hole den ⁇ sity between the respective hole arrangements are formed.
- it is measured how the total hole area is reduced in a flow test as confirmation.
- combustion dynamics of the fluid inside the combustion chamber may be reduced.
- the inner wall elements and the outer wall elements are perforated with holes in a non-uniform and customized manner.
- the lifetime for the combustion chamber component and the downstream located turbine stage components is achieved.
- the NOx emissions are reduced, because due to the reduced combustion dynamics a lower pilot fuel split (pilot fuel/ [pilot fuel + main fuel]) may be applied.

- the sec ⁇ ond hole arrangement II comprises a second areal density of the second holes 120.
- the first areal density differs from the second areal den ⁇ sity. That is that the amount of first holes 110 per area unit differs from the amount of second holes 120 per area unit.
- the first holes 110 are distributed with a different pattern and/or with a different amount and/or with a different size (e.g. hole diameter) with re ⁇ spect to the second holes 120 in the second hole arrangement II .
- the first hole ar ⁇ rangement I, the second hole arrangement II and for example a third hole arrangement III comprise the same areal size.
- the first hole arrangement I, the second hole ar- rangement II and the third hole arrangement III may define the areal unit which may define the respective first, second and/or third areal density of the holes.
- the density of the first holes 110 within the first hole arrangement I is higher than the second areal den ⁇ sity and third areal density of the respective second hole arrangement II and third hole arrangement III, respectively.
- More holes may be arranged at the upstream front end of the wall element 101 because this is where the flame is located.

- a burner section 104 e.g. a front end section
- the combustion gas exits the combustion chamber 100 and flows further to the turbine stages of the gas turbine, for example.

- the third holes 113 of the third hole ar ⁇ rangement III are formed into the wall element 101 one after another along the circumferential direction 103 for forming at least three third rows 131 of the third holes 130.
- the amount of holes 110, 120, 130 and the amount of rows 111, 121, 131 decrease along the direction from the upstream end of the combustion chamber 100 to the downstream end of the combustion chamber 100.
- the distance between the two second rows 121 is smaller than the distance between the third rows 131, for ex ⁇ ample.
- the distance between the first rows 121 at an upstream end of the combustion chamber 100 may be half of the distance between the third rows 131 at the downstream section of the combustion chamber 100.
- the hole arrangement I, II, III as shown in Fig. 1 may be applied to an inner wall element 501 (see Fig. 5) (in ⁇ ner liner) . Due to the non-uniform hole distribution along the central axis 102 from an upstream end of the combustion chamber 100 to a downstream end of the combustion chamber 100 the areal density at the downstream part is lower than the areal density of the holes at an upstream part of the combus ⁇ tion chamber. Furthermore, also a proper effusion cooling in particular at the upstream part of the wall element 101 com ⁇ pared to a uniform arranged hole arrangement is achieved. Furthermore, by the hole distribution as shown in Fig. 1 proper damping characteristics of the combustion dynamics within the combustion chamber 100 is achieved.
