The GTE includes at least a combustor section having a combustor sleeve, also known as top hat, and a transition piece. The transition piece includes a transition duct having an upstream end, a downstream end, a outer surface and a forward end face. The transition piece also includes one or more struts selectively attached to the transition duct proximate to the upstream end. The strut extends radially upward from the outer surface, and axially outward beyond the forward end face for interfacing the strut with at least a portion of the combustor sleeve.
Description
- The present disclosure relates generally to gas turbine engines, and more particularly, to a gas turbine engine transition piece and its support assemblies.
- Gas turbine engines operate to produce mechanical work or thrust. One type of gas turbine engine is a land based engine coupled to a generator for the purposes of generating electricity. Gas turbine engines have at least a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section. The combustor section may include a plurality of combustors arranged in an annular array around a rotor. The turbine section includes alternating rows of stationary airfoils and rotating airfoils. In operation, air is drawn in through the compressor section, where it is compressed and the driven towards the combustor section. The air may then be mixed with fuel to form an air/fuel mixture. In the combustor, the mixture may be ignited to form a working gas. A transition duct may be provided for each combustor to route the working gas to the turbine section. Each transition duct includes an inlet (upstream) end, an exit (downstream) end. To support the transition duct in the gas turbine, fixed support assemblies including support brackets and various seals have been provided at both the downstream and upstream ends for attaching the same to structures in both the turbine and combustor sections, respectively. However, concerns arise as these support assemblies suffer from large thermal stresses at various locations during the gas turbines operation, thereby restricting thermal growth of hot transition ducts. Therefore, there remains a need for a means to support the transition duct that can minimize the above concerns, and allow for thermal growth.
- In one embodiment, a gas turbine engine with a thermally expandable transition piece is described, and which comprises at least a combustor section. The combustor section includes a combustor sleeve and a transition piece. The transition piece includes a transition duct having an upstream end, a downstream end, an outer surface and an end face. The transition piece further includes a strut extending radially outward from the outer surface at the upstream end for interfacing with at least a portion of the combustor sleeve.
- In another embodiment, a thermally expandable transition piece assembly for a gas turbine engine is described. The transition piece includes a transition duct having an upstream end for operatively connecting to a combustor section of a turbine, and a downstream end for operatively connecting to a turbine cylinder section of a turbine. The transition piece further includes a strut selectively attached at the upstream end, and extending radially upward from an outer surface of the transition duct, and axially outward beyond an end face at the upstream end for operatively connecting the transition piece assembly to the combustor section of a turbine.
- In yet a further embodiment, a method of manufacturing a thermally expandable transition piece is disclosed. The method includes the step of selectively attaching a strut to a surface of a transition duct at an upstream end of the transition duct, the strut extending radially upward from the surface and axially outward beyond an end face at the upstream end.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a method for assembling a gas turbine engine in accordance with the disclosure provided herein. - Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating embodiments of the subject matter herein only and not for limiting the same,
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a gas turbine engine (GTE) depicted generally at 100 with a thermallyexpandable transition piece 200. The GTE 100 generally may include at least aninlet casing section 120 operatively connected to acompressor casing section 130; thecompressor casing section 130 may be operatively connected to acombustor section 140; thecombustor section 140 may be operatively connected to aturbine cylinder section 150; theturbine cylinder section 150 may be operatively connected to anexhaust cylinder section 160; theexhaust cylinder section 160 may be operatively connected to amanifold section 170. - With reference to
FIGS. 3 , a perspective view of the thermallyexpandable transition piece 200 is shown. In one embodiment, thetransition piece 200 includes at least atransition duct 210 having a generally tubular body with a generally semi-circular shape at anupstream end 212, to receive hot gases from an associated combustor of a gas turbine (e.g., a can-annular combustor), and a generally semi-rectangular shape at adownstream end 214, to discharge the gases to an associated stage of the gas turbine. Thetransition duct 210 further includes anouter surface 216, and aforward end face 218. The thermallyexpandable transition piece 200 may further include one ormore struts 300 selectively attached to anouter surface 216 of thetransition duct 210 proximate to theupstream end 212. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3 , threestruts 300 are attached at theupstream end 212; however, it should be appreciated that more than threestruts 300 may be attached to the thermallyexpandable transition piece 200. When selectively attached to thetransition duct 210, thestrut 300 may extend radially outward (protruding upwardly) from theouter surface 216 at theupstream end 212. Additionally, at least a portion of thestrut 300 may extend axially outward beyond theforward end face 218. - With continued reference to
FIG. 3 , thestruts 300 may be spaced apart in a uniform manner around the perimeter of thetransition duct 210. For example,FIG. 3 illustrates thestruts 300 being spaced an equidistance apart from one another. However, it should be appreciated that the struts 3000 may be spaced apart in any manner chosen with sound judgment. In yet a further embodiment, thestruts 300 may be offset from one another around the perimeter of thetransition duct 210 such that the length of the portions of thestruts 300 extending beyond theforward end face 218 differs. Thestruts 300 may be selectively attached to theouter surface 216 by an attachment means (not shown), such as by bolts, fasteners, pins, and/or weld. Additional examples of the attachment means may include a nut-bolt combination, rivet, screw, nail, or other suitable mechanical fastening devices known to persons of ordinary skill in the art and capable of selectively attaching thestrut 300 to thetransition duct 210. - In a further embodiment, the
strut 300 may be integrally formed with thetransition duct 210. As used herein, integrally formed means to couple such that the pieces are relatively permanently joined. Thestrut 300 and thetransition duct 210 may also be fabricated, molded or machined as a unitary structure, as compared to being separate components mounted together, through welding, fastening mechanical engagement or any means known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. In an embodiment where thestruts 300 are not integrally formed with thetransition duct 210, thestrut 300 may include alower end face 310 adapted to selectively attach thestrut 300 to theouter surface 216 of thetransition duct 210, and anupper end face 320 adapted to interface with acombustor sleeve 400 or wear pad 410 (FIG. 4 ) of thecombustor section 140. Thelower end face 310 may have a profile adapted to interface with theouter surface 216, e.g., an arcuate profile. Additionally, theupper end face 320 may have a profile adapted to interface with thecombustor sleeve 400 orwear pad 410. The profile of thelower end face 310 and theupper end face 320 may be similar in one embodiment, or they may differ in a further embodiment such that the both profiles curve in opposed directions. - The
strut 300 may have a thickness that provides for adequate strength to support thetransition piece 200, without restricting flow during operation of the GTE 100. In one embodiment, the surface area for thelower end face 310 and theupper end face 320 may differ. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 4 , theupper end face 320 surface area is less than the surface area of thelower end face 310. Thestrut 300 may have a generally arcuate profile such that the surface area of thelower surface 330 andupper surface 340, between thelower end face 310 andupper end face 320, has no angles. In a further embodiment, the surface area of thestrut 300 may have one or more angles between thelower end face 310 andupper end face 320. Additionally, thestrut 300 may also be symmetrical or asymmetrical. - With continued reference to
FIG. 3 , and nowFIG. 4 , thecombustor sleeve 400, also referred to as “top hat” in the art, includes aninterior compartment 420 configured to house at least a portion of acombustor 500 therein, and an exterior 430 having one ormore flanges 440 protruding therefrom. Theflange 440 may be adapted for interfacing thecombustor sleeve 400 with one more components of the GTE 100, and for at least partially restricting movement of thecombustor sleeve 400. Theinterior compartment 420 may be sized such that at least a portion of thetransition piece 200, (e.g., strut 300) may be received therein. In the embodiment ofFIG. 4 , thestrut 300 extending from thetransition duct 210 is shown as being partially disposed within theinterior compartment 420 and interfacing with aninterior surface 425 of theinterior compartment 420. - The
wear pad 410 may be an adaptable plate sized to fit within theinterior compartment 420, and be made from hard materials, such as a metallic or ceramic material, e.g., nickel or cobalt, or a softer material with hard facing, e.g., chromium carbide, flame sprayed, or any other material chosen with sound judgment and capable of interfacing with theinterior compartment 420 and/or strut 300, managing contact stress, and maintaining a form of structural integrity such that thewear pad 410 or portions thereof have little to no chance of separation during operation of theGTE 100. Thewear pad 410 may be constructed from a material different from that of thestrut 300 and/or theinterior compartment 420. Thewear pad 410 may also have a low profile and be adapted to conform to the shape of theinterior compartment 420, e.g., an arcuate shape. Thewear pad 410 may be selectively attached to theinterior surface 425 by an attachment means similar to the attachment means described herein. The attachment means should allow for no separation of thewear pad 410 from theinterior compartment 420 during operation of theGTE 100. Additionally, the attachment means may further assist in facilitating the replacement of thewear pad 410 when its surface area begins to wear down or simply needs to be replaced. In a further embodiment, multiple wear pads may be stacked within the interior compartment to provide additional interfacing support, or facilitate the replacement of aworn wear pad 410. - In yet a further embodiment, the
wear pad 410 may be integral with theinterior compartment 420. Additionally, thewear pad 410 may extend to cover theinterior surface 425, or may have a defined area thereby distinguishing thewear pad 410 surface from any other surface of theinterior compartment 420. In yet a further embodiment, at least a portion of thewear pad 410 surface may be grooved, textured, or have a configuration chosen with sound judgment to allow for interfacing thewear pad 410 with thestrut 300, while maintaining the integrity of thewear pad 410. In yet a further embodiment, thewear pad 410 may be a substrate or formed from a substrate applied to theinterior surface 425 by an additive manufacturing process, the result of which manages contact stress. Thewear pad 410 may further allow for thetransition piece 200 to be frictionally fitted within theinterior compartment 420, while allowing for thermal expansion. Additionally, thewear pad 410 may be lubricious to further facilitate interfacing and thermal expansion. - With continued reference to the figures, and now
FIG. 5 , a block diagram of amethod 1000 for manufacturing a thermallyexpandable transition piece 200 in accordance with one embodiment is provided. Instep 1010, selectively attaching thestrut 300 to theouter surface 216 of atransition duct 210 at anupstream end 212 of thetransition duct 210 by the attachment means disclosed herein. In yet a further embodiment, prior to step 1010, themethod 1000 may includestep 1020 for removing an assembly for mounting thetransition duct 210. In this step, removal of the prior art assembly (FIG. 1 ), may be necessary when retrofitting thestruts 300 to thetransition duct 210. Instep 1030, selectively attaching a plurality ofstruts 300 to thetransition duct 210. - With continued reference to the figures, and now
FIG. 6 , a block diagram of amethod 2000 for assembling theGTE 100, or more particularly, thecombustor section 140 of theGTE 100 with thetransition piece 200 in accordance with one embodiment is provided. Instep 2010, operatively interfacing the thermallyexpandable transition piece 200 to a structure (e.g.,combustor sleeve 400 or wear pad 410) in the combustor section of theGTE 100. In this step, an assembler may shift thetransition piece 200 towards thecombustor sleeve 400 such that at least a portion of thetransition piece 200, e.g., thestrut 300, may be received within thecombustor sleeve 400. At this point, thestrut 300 may be interfacing with theinterior surface 425 or wearpad 410. - While specific embodiments have been described in detail, those with ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that various modifications and alternative to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. For example, elements described in association with different embodiments may be combined. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims or disclosure, which are to be given the full breadth of the appended claims, and any and all equivalents thereof. It should be noted that the term “comprising” does not exclude other elements or steps, and the use of articles “a” or “an” does not exclude a plurality.
