Description
- The present application is a 35 U.S.C. §§371 national phase conversion of PCT/EP2013/062148, filed Jun. 12, 2013, which claims priority of German Patent Application No. 10 2012 213 637.1, filed Aug. 2, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein. The PCT International Application was published in the German language.
- The present invention relates to a gas turbine combustion chamber.
- Combustion chambers, in particular for gas turbines, are generally provided, internally, with a flow guiding body, called a liner. A combustible fluid is supplied via one or more burners provided in the combustion chamber, which fluid ignites in the combustion space of the combustion chamber and, passing through the liner, is guided towards the outlet opening. Since the walls of the combustion chamber are subjected to high thermal loads due to the combustion taking place inside the combustion chamber, these parts of the combustion chamber have to be cooled. A thermal barrier coating on the inside of the liner is generally not sufficient. Cooling is achieved e.g. by means of interstices through which is conveyed a coolant which cools the combustion chamber convectively.
- The components experience thermal expansion caused by temperature changes which occur during operation.
- The liner simultaneously represents the transition to the turbine space and is therefore conical. The cooling system must be able to cope with the axial and radial thermal expansion of the liner cone and must ensure that, even in the case of changing conditions, only a certain defined quantity of air flows along the cone.
-
FIG. 1 shows a gas turbine combustion chamber with convective cooling of the liner cone which is provided with an external sheath. - The invention has the object of providing a gas turbine combustion chamber with improved cooling.
- A gas turbine combustion chamber has an inner wall with cooling air bores circumferentially around it and an outer wall around and spaced apart from the inner wall. The outer wall also has cooling air bores. The outer wall is formed from multiple wall elements which are arranged substantially next to one another in the circumferential direction of the gas turbine combustion chamber. By substantially is here meant that the wall elements can move closer or move apart as operating temperature affects them, but are close together enough to enable a common fastener to hold neighboring opposing edges with a common fastener, if that is selected. The wall elements are arranged on the inner wall by means of a respective fixed bearing on one narrow side of each wall element and by means of a floating bearing on an opposite narrow side of each wall element, such that a cavity is formed between the inner and outer walls. The outer wall cone is cooled by an effective impingement cooling. Furthermore, the outer wall elements, which act as impingement cooling plates, are allowed to expand relative to the main body, i.e. the inner wall of the gas turbine, as a consequence of different temperatures of the main body (approx. 900-1000° C.) and of the impingement cooling plates (approx. 500-600° C.)
- In one advantageous embodiment, the wall elements are arranged on the inner wall by means of a fixed bearing on the burner side and by means of a floating bearing on the turbine side.
- It is then expedient if the inner wall is in the form of a hollow frustum and the wall elements of the outer wall are in the form of hollow frustum segments.
- In order to better compensate for the thermal expansion in the radial direction, adjacent outer wall elements are arranged such that they overlap.
- In one advantageous embodiment, for easier assembly the floating bearing is comprised of ring segments each of which has a groove for receiving in each case one narrow side of the wall elements.
- Expediently, the fixed bearing also is comprised of ring segments.
- For cooling the bearings, at least one of the bearings has cooling air bores.
- In order to prevent adjacent wall elements separating, it is advantageous if retainers are provided in the region where the edges of two neighboring wall elements overlap. It can then be expedient if the retainers are attached to the inner wall.
- In order to permit different thermal expansions in as stress-free a manner as possible, also at the retainers, the wall elements have openings for the retainers, wherein the diameters of the openings are larger than the diameters of the retainers in this region.
- In order to prevent the wall elements of the outer wall touching the cone of the inner wall because of thermal deformation, spacers (pins) are arranged between the inner wall and the outer wall. These spacers are expediently arranged, for example welded, on the inner wall opposite a central region of the respective wall element, i.e. in the middle beneath the wall elements.
- An embodiment of the cavity formed by the inner wall and the outer wall as an acoustic damper (resonator) is particularly advantageous since it is thus possible to reduce the number of resonators which would otherwise be required. On one hand, this reduces costs and, on the other hand, it saves air which would otherwise be required for flushing or cooling these resonators.
- The advantages of the proposed solution reside in the improved cooling of the liner cone by means of an effective impingement cooling, and in the avoidance of the thermal stress which results through the floating bearing. In addition, the cavity created between the liner cone and the plates, which cavity also acts as a resonator, damps medium- to high-frequency vibrations.
- The invention will be explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the drawings, which are schematic and not to scale and in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a gas turbine combustion chamber with a burner liner according to the prior art with an external sheath for convective cooling, -
FIG. 2 shows a gas turbine combustion chamber according to the invention with wall elements for impingement cooling, -
FIG. 3 shows a wall element with cooling air bores and openings for attachment, -
FIG. 4 shows a detail of a fixed bearing ring segment, -
FIG. 5 shows a section through a burner liner of a gas turbine combustion chamber according to the invention with a fixed bearing, -
FIG. 6 shows a section through a burner liner of a gas turbine combustion chamber according to the invention with a floating bearing, -
FIG. 7 shows a plan view of a ring segment of the floating bearing, -
FIG. 8 shows a gas turbine combustion chamber according to the invention without wall elements, -
FIG. 9 shows a bolt for retaining the wall elements and preventing them separating, -
FIG. 10 shows a bolt in the installed state with wall elements and -
FIG. 11 shows overlapping wall elements. -
FIG. 1 shows, schematically and by way of example, a gas turbine combustion chamber 1 according to the prior art with an inner wall 2 (burner liner) which encloses thecombustion space 3 and has, on the combustion space side, athermal protection coating 4, and a sheath 5 surrounding theinner wall 2. Between the inner wall and the sheath 5, cooling air 6 is guided for convectively cooling theinner wall 2. In the transition from thecombustion space 3 downstream to the turbine space (not shown), the gas turbine combustion chamber 1 and therefore also theinner wall 2 or theburner liner 2 are conical. This region is therefore also termed theliner cone 7. -
FIG. 2 shows a gasturbine combustion chamber 8 according to the invention with aninner wall 2 and anouter wall 9 spaced apart therefrom, which form a cavity 10 (seeFIGS. 5 and 6 ). Theouter wall 9 is formed by a plate construction, comprised of eightwall elements 11, which are configured and arranged and supported to compensate for thermal expansion of theliner cone 7. The number ofwall elements 11 can differ from that shown in the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 2 . - The
wall elements 11 are welded to theinner wall 2 on thatside 12 of theliner cone 7 which is oriented towards the burner, that is towards the base of the frustum, and are mounted in a floating manner on thatside 13 of theliner cone 7 which is oriented towards the turbine, that is towards the top of the frustum. However, the solution may also be reversed. - In that context, two
plate rows conical wall 2 theouter wall elements 11 havecooling air bores 16. Correspondingcooling air bores 17 are provided in the inner wall 2 (seeFIGS. 8 and 10 ) such that the air used for the impingement cooling can flow into thecombustion space 3. -
FIG. 3 shows anouter wall element 11 withcooling air bores 16. During operation, gaps could emerge betweensuperposed wall elements 11, through which air could penetrate uncontrolled under the plate construction. However, these gaps are avoided by means of retainers 18 (seeFIGS. 10-11 ). To that end, thewall elements 11 haveopenings 20 on two oppositeaxial sides 19. The diameter of these openings is larger than the retainer diameter in this region in order to guarantee, here too, sufficient play for thermal expansion. The two othercircumferential sides 21 together form, with thering segments FIGS. 4 to 7 , a fixedbearing 24 and a floatingbearing 25. -
FIG. 4 shows a detail of a fixedbearing 24, in particular a detail comprised of aring segment 22 for a fixedbearing 24. If thering segment 22 is welded to the inner wall 2 (seeFIG. 5 ), acavity 26 is formed which can be cooled via cooling air bores 27 in thering segment 22. -
FIG. 5 shows a section through a fixedbearing 24 of a gasturbine combustion chamber 8 according to the invention with aring segment 22 for the fixedbearing 24, which ring segment is arranged on theburner liner 2 and is connected thereto at the welding points 28, andadjacent wall elements 11 which are arranged offset in the axial direction of thecombustion chamber 8. Thewall elements 11 are connected to thering segment 22 at the welding points 29. For assembly reasons,adjacent wall elements 11 are welded to thering segments 22 offset in the axial direction. -
FIG. 6 shows a section through a floatingbearing 25 of a gasturbine combustion chamber 8 according to the invention with aring segment 23 for the floatingbearing 25, which ring segment is arranged on theburner liner 2 and is connected thereto at the welding points 30. Thering segment 23 of the floatingbearing 25 comprises agroove 31 for receiving anarrow side 21 of thewall elements 11 and bears directly against theinner wall 2 such that cooling air bores in thering segment 23 are also not necessary. -
FIG. 7 shows aring segment 23 for the floatingbearing 25. Thegroove 31, for mounting thewall elements 11 in a floating manner in thering segment 23, runs according to the overlapping arrangement of thewall elements 11 at various radii with overlappingregions 32. -
FIG. 8 shows a gasturbine combustion chamber 8 according to the invention withoutwall elements 11. It is thus possible to seebolts 33, as parts of the separation-preventingretainers 18, and also other spacers or pins 34 which are arranged on theinner wall 2 and which prevent thewall elements 11 touching the cone of theinner wall 2 because of thermal deformation. Thepins 34 are typically welded to theinner wall 2, in the middle beneath thewall elements 11. -
FIG. 9 shows abolt 33 with a further formed element for simpler assembly on theinner wall 2. Thebolt 33 is part of aretainer 18 as is used to prevent separation between twoadjacent wall elements 11. -
FIG. 10 shows such aretainer 18 in the installed state. It is welded to theinner wall 2 and may be arranged on theinner wall 2 in adepression 35 provided for that purpose. In the region of theopenings 21 of thewall elements 11, the diameter of thebolt 33 of theretainer 18 is smaller than that of theopenings 21 themselves, such that sufficient space for thermal expansion is present. Thewall elements 11 are secured by means of aperforated disk 36 welded thereto, such that essentially only axial displacements of thewall elements 11 and displacements in the circumferential direction of the gasturbine combustion chamber 8, but no radial movements, are possible.FIG. 11 shows a plan view of the region of theretainer 18. - Although a gas turbine combustion chamber with a conical surrounding inner wall has been described in the exemplary embodiments, the invention is not restricted to a conical shape. Furthermore, the function of the device according to the invention is not restricted to a cooling effect to be achieved, but can also be used as a resonance absorber.
