Description

SPECIFICATION Gas turbine engine combustor This invention relates to combustion apparatus and, more particularly, to means for reducing the gaseous emissions from the combustor apparatus associated with a gas turbine engine.
Aircraft engines presently in operational use and those under development for future applications are designed to operate at extremely high temperatures. Combustors associated with high pressure ratio gas turbine engines not only must be compatible with the high temperature environment but also must perform satisfactorily for long periods of time before removal from the engine for repair and maintenance. Present day materials cannot operate for extended periods of time at temperatures typically found in the combustor section of high pressure ratio gas turbine engines. Efficient and reliable means for cooling the combustor components must be provided.
State of the art cooling techniques have included the provision for a moving film of cooling air between the inner surface of the liners of the combustor and the hot gases,burning inside the combustion chamber. The film of cooling air prevents the hot gases from contacting the combustor liner. Generally, the protective film is introduced into the combustion chamber from a plenum surrounding the combustor.
The technique of film cooling of combustor liners has generally met with success in the aircraft engine industry. As a result of this technique combustor life has been significantly extended thereby reducing combustor replacement frequency and time between combustor overhaul.
In order to effect improvements in the quality of the environment, various federal agencies have issued regulations controlling the amounts and concentrations of pollutants which may be discharged to the atmosphere. Gaseous emissions of aircraft gas turbine engines have been addressed by the agencies and have resulted in very stringent restrictions especially those relating to emissions of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. In some instances, these restrictions cannot be met without significant advances in the state of the art of combustion technology.
The utilization of film cooling in aircraft gas turbine engine combustors has been found to contribute significantly to the gaseous emissions of the engine particularly to those emissions of carbon monoxide when the engine is operating at ground idle conditions. More specifically, under such conditions the film of cooling air acts to upset the delicate balance of the fuel to air ratio present in the primary combustion zone of the com6ustor. Typically the amount of air introduced for film cooling of the combustor at the primary combustion zone can be approximately 10--15 per cent of the total air flow throug the combustor (this percentage also constitutes 20-40 percent of the primary zone air) resulting in the leaning of the mixture (especially at the liner walls) and a resultant increase in the emission of carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons.
Additionally, since at idle conditions the temperature of the film of cooling air is relatively cool, approximately 4000 F, while the temperature of the flame in the primary zone approximates 3000"F, local quenching of the flame occurs at its interface with the film of cooling air. Quenching of the flame lowers the temperature at which burning at the interface occurs such that burning is incomplete and eletated levels of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons emissions are encountered. The present invention addresses these problems associated with the incompatibility of the application of film cooling techniques with restriction on the gaseous emissions of a gas turbine engine.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide combustion apparatus wherein cooling air is used to cool the combustor liner without the production of significant gaseous emissions.
It is another object of the present invention to provide combustion apparatus wherein cooling air used to cool the combustor is prevented from quenching the burning fuel and air mixture in the primary combustion zone.
Briefly stated, this and other objects, which will become apparent hereinafter, are accomplished by the present invention which provides, in one form, combustor liner means defining a primary combustion zone and secondary dilution zone within a combustion chamber. First cooling means are provided for cooling a first portion of the liner means defining the primary combustion zone.
Means are provided for preventing discharge of the cooling air into the primary combustion zone.
Second cooling means are provided for cooling a second portion of the liner means defining the secondary dilution zone.
While the specification concludes with claims distinctly claiming and particularly pointing out the invention described herein, it will be more readily understood by reference to the description to follow together with the appended drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional representation of annular gas turbine engine combustor embodying the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 1 an annular combustor, shown generally at 40, is comprised of axially and circu mferentia Ily extending radially outer wall 42 spaced radially apart from axially and circumferentially extending radially inner wall 44.
Liner means, in the form of first and second radially outer and inner combustor liners 46 and 48, respectively, are disposed within the annular spacing between walls 42 and 44. Liners 46 and 48 extend circumferentially and axially and are radially spaced from each other to define a longitudinally extending generally annular combustion chamber 50. Outer liner 46 cooperates in spaced-apart relationship with outer wall 42 to form a first radially outward annular longitudinally extending plenum 52 therebetween while inner liner 48 is disposed in spaced-apart relationship with inner wall 44 to define therebetween a second radially inward annular and longitudinally extending plenum 54. Plenum 52 and 54 are in communication at their upstream ends with a source of pressurized air such as the compressor (not shown) associated with the gas turbine engine.As stated above the general configuration of combustor 40 is of the generally well-known type having an annular shape disposed symmetrically about center line x-x. For purposes of the description hereinafter to follow the terms "axially" or "longitudinally" shall mean a direction generally along the line x-x, the term "radial" shall mean a direction radial to the line x-x and the term "circumferential" shall mean a direction circumferentially about the line x-x.
A plurality of circumferentially spaced apart fuel nozzle and swirler assemblies 56 (only one of which is shown) are disposed at the upstream end of combustion chamber 50 and are mounted upon a pair of circumferentially extending flanges 58 and 60. Flanges 58 and 60 depend radially toward each other from liners 46 and 48 respectively at the upstream end of combustion chamber 50. Fuel nozzle and swirler assemblies 56 serve to introduce a mixture of compressed air and fuel into the upstream end of combustion chamber50 at a relatively high velocity. Fuel and air introduced in this manner is burned in chamber 40 and the hot gas resulting from combustion flows afterward and is expelled through exit 57 into the turbine section of a gas turbine engine.
Outer liner 46 is comprised of a generally longitudinally and circumferentially extending continuous upstream portion or segment 62 disposed immediately proximate fuel nozzle and swirler assemblies 56. Similarly, inner liner 48 includes a generally longitudinally and circumferentially extending continuous upstream portion or segment 64 disposed immediately proximate fuel nozzle and swirler assemblies 56.
It is observed that continuous, uninterrupted liner portions or segments 62 and 64 define a first or upstream portion of combustor liner means 46 and 48 and are disposed radially opposite to one another at the same general axial location.
Combustion chamber 50 includes an annular primary combustion zone 70 bounded generally on its upstream side by the discharge or exit plane 66 of fuel nozzle and swirler assembly 56; at its radially outward and inner extremities by segments 62 and 64 respectively. Primary combustion zone 70 is a zone wherein burning of the air and fuel mixture is substantially completed. To accomplish substantially complete burning, the flowing gas must reside within zone 70 for a period of time sufficient to permit the required degree of conversion of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide necessary to meet low emission requirements. Consequently, zone 70 extends downstream from exit plane 66 of assembly 56 and terminates at a distance d which has a preselected magnitude sufficient to permit the aforementioned conversion.Segments 62 and 64 extend downstream from exit plane 66 and include lip portions 68 and 69, respectively, which terminate at approximately the same distance from plane 66 as does primary zone 70. The magnitude of distance d may be preselected for various combustors in accordance with known procedures and for most, if not all, combustors will be approximately equal to radial spacing h between lines 46 and 48 proximate plane 66.
Liners 46 and 48 further define and circumscribe a secondary or dilution zone 72 within combustion chamber 50 downstream of zone 70. Secondary zone 72 comprises a zone wherein the hot gases, resulting from burning of the fuel and air in zone 70, are mixed with dilution air to improve the radial and circumferential temperature distrIbution of the gases as they exit the combustor. Accordingly, liner means 46 further comprises a circumferentially and longitudinally extending stepped wall 74 disposed immediately downstream of segments 62 and comprised of a plurality of circumferentially and axially extending segments 76 disposed consecutively one after the other in the axial direction. Each segment 76 includes downstream lip portion 78 and upstream step portion 80.Step portion 80 of each segment 76 overlaps downstream lip portion 78 of the next adjacent upstream segment 76. The step portion 80 of the segment 76 adjacent segment 62 overlaps cooling lip 68 or segment 62. Each step 80 includes cooling means in the form of a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart apertures 82 to provide for the passage of cooling air from plenum 52 into the secondary dilution zone 72 of chamber 50 forfilm cooling of the downstream segments 76 of liner 46 in the convention manner well known in the art.
Secondary dilution zone 72 is further defined by circumferentially and longitudinally extending stepped wall 84 of liner 48. Stepped wall 84 is disposed immediately downstream of segment 64 and is comprised of a plurality of circumferentially and axially extending segments 86 disposed one after the other in the axial direction. Each segment 86 include a downstream lip portion 88 and an upstream step portion 90. Step portion 90 of each segment 86 overlaps the downstream lip portion 88 of the next adjacent upstream segment 86.
The step portion 90 of the segment 86 adjacent segment 64 overlaps lip portion 69 of segment 64. Cooling means in the form of a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart apertures 92 are disposed in step portion 90 for admitting cooling air from plenum 54 into the secondary dilution zone 72 of chamber 50 for film cooling downstream segments 86 in the conventional manner well-known in the art.
It is observed that all cooling air introduced into chamber 50 is admitted at a location downstream of primary combustion zone 70. That is to say lips 68, 69, 78 and 88 each introduce cooling air into chamber 50 at a distance greater than the distance d which defines the downstream end of primary combustion zone 70. Hence cooling air discharged through apertures 82 and 92 will not quench the burning fuel/air mixture in the primary combustion zone 70 nor alter the ratio of fuel to air in zone 70. Said another way, burning of the fuel/air mixture is substantially completed upstream of the point at which the cooling air is introduced into chamber 50.
Cooling means in the form of outer and inner impingement liners 94 and 96 respectively are provided for impingement cooling upstream liner segments 62 and 64 respectively. More specifically, circumferentially and axially extending impingement liner 94 is disposed between plenum 52 and liner segment 62 and radially adjacent liner segment 62 so as to cooperate therewith to form circumferentially and axially extending cooling chamber 98. Liner 94 includes a stepped portion 100 defining the upstream end of chamber 98 while the downstream end of chamber 98 is terminated at step portion 80 associated with the first downstream segment 76.
A plurality of apertures 102 provide for the admittance of a cooling air from plenum 52 into chamber 98 and are radially directed to provide impingement of cooling air upon the radially outer surface of liner segment 62. After impingement cooling liner segment 62 in this manner, the cooling air is discharged away from the primary combustion zone 70 through cooling air discharge means, in the form of apertures 82, disposed in the first upstream segment 76 of stepped wall 74 to provide film cooling of the liner segment 76 in zone 72.
Circumferentially and axially extending impingement liner 96 is disposed between plenum 54 and liner segment 64 and radially adjacent liner segment 64 so as to defined therebetween a circumferentially and axially extending cooling chamber 104. Stepped portion 106 of liner 96 forms the upstream end of chamber 104 while the downstream end of chamber 104 is terminated at step portion 90 of downstream segment 86.
Cooling air from plenum 54 is admitted to chamber 104 through cooling means in the form of a plurality of circumferentially extending spaced-apart radially oriented apertures 107 in liner 96. Cooling air admitted to chamber 104 impinges upon the radially inner surface of liner segment 64. Impingement cooling of liner segment 64 is thereby accomplished and thence the cooling air is discharged away from primary combustion zone 70 through cooling air discharge means, in the form of apertures 92, disposed in the first upstream segment 86 of stepped wall 84 to provide film cooling of the liner segment 86 in zone 72.
It may be readily observed that the continuous construction of segments 62 and 64 precludes passage of cooling airfrom impingement chambers 98 and 104 from entering primary combustion zone 70. In this manner then - the present invention provides means for preventing cooling air used to cool segments 62 and 64 from discharge into the primary combustion zone.
It is clear that the structure hereinbefore described is well adapted to accomplish the objects of the present invnetion. More specifically, the present invention provides combustion apparatus wherein the liners associated with the combustion zone are impingment cooled proximate the primary combustion zone and film cooled proximate the secondary combustion zone. The cooling air used in impingement cooling is discharged into the combustion zone downstream of the primary combustion zone and hence does not contribute to the formation of undesirable gaseous emissions in the primary combustion zone. Elimination of film cooling in the primary combustion zone achieves reduced levels of gaseous emissions present in prior art combustors for a number of principal reasons.First, the quenching zone present in the state of the art combustors is eliminated thus increasing the volume available for primary combustion.
Secondly, since film cooling requires large quantities of air moving at substantial velocities, elimination of film cooling in the primary combustion zone increases both the average temperature of combustion and the residence time of the burning gases in the primary combustion zone. More complete combustion is therefore promoted. Thirdly, the ratio of fuel to air in the primary combustion zone is increased to provide a rich mixture of fuel and air which tends to form lower emissions of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons.
understood that- modifications or alterations of the invention may be made within the spirit of my invention or within the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
