  • the flame tube 101 is with its outlet end 105 in a receptacle 109 of a
  • the mixing housing passes the hot gases leaving the flame tube 101 to the turbine (not shown).
  • the interior of the flame tube 101 is provided with ceramic heat shield elements, also called heat shield stones, to protect the combustion chamber wall from the corrosive hot gas.
  • ceramic heat shield elements also called heat shield stones
  • At the exit end of the flame tube 101 is the heat arranged holding plates 111 holding the stone support ring 113, of which a substantial part in the receptacle 109 of the mixing housing 107 is located.
  • the receiving section 109 and the stone supporting ring 113 are shown in enlarged detail in FIG.
  • the stone support ring 113 has an outer side 115 and an inner side 117. Both in the outside 115, and in the inside 117 grooves 119, 121 are present, which extend over the entire circumference of the stone support ring 113.
  • the outside of the stone support ring 113 is also provided with an abrasion-reducing armor 129.
  • At regular intervals distributed around the circumference of the stone support ring 113 through holes 123 are present, which connect the groove 119 in the outer side 117 (hereinafter called outer groove 119) with the formed in the inner side 117 groove 121 (hereinafter referred to as inner groove 121) fluidly connect.
  • the outer groove 119 serves as a cooling air passage, which allows the distribution of cooling air around the stone support ring 113 around.
  • the cooling air can then pass from the outer groove 119 through the through holes 123 in the inner groove 121 and from there into the combustion chamber interior.
  • the outer groove 117 and the inner groove 121 are disposed in a flange-like protrusion 122 protruding radially toward the combustion chamber interior.
  • the upper surface 124 of the projection 122 forms a support surface for the lowermost row of the heat shield elements 111 (see FIG. 3).
  • the outer groove 119 of the stone support ring 113 has an inclined groove wall 125 with respect to the radial direction of the stone support ring 113.

  • FIG. 5 A section through the stone support ring 113 along the line V-V in Figure 4 is shown in Figure 5. It can be seen in this NEN that the through holes 123 do not extend in the radial direction of the support ring 113, but are inclined in the circumferential direction and include an angle of about 60 ° with the radial direction.
  • the stone support ring 113 of the flame tube 101 is inserted into the receiving portion 109 of the mixing housing 107.
  • This receiving portion 109 is formed by pinnacles 133, which are formed in the wall 131 of the mixing housing.
  • the pinnacles 133 are in this case formed by a wall section of the mixing housing, which is penetrated by circumferentially distributed around the mixing housing recesses or recesses. These recesses or recesses extend from the edge of the peripheral wall, starting substantially in the axial direction of the flange into the peripheral wall.
  • the receiving section 109 is given an increased flexibility with respect to the wall section of the mixing housing 107 which is not provided with the recesses or recesses, so that forces occurring between the mixing housing 107 and the flame tube 101 can be compensated to a certain extent.
  • the inner sides 135 of the pinnacles 133 are planar and provided with an armor 137.

  • Figure 6 shows a section of the stone support ring 113 and the receiving portion 109 when the combustion chamber assembly has reached a certain operating time.
  • the Zinnenkranz of the mixing housing 107 grinds into the stone support ring 113 of the flame tube 101, if no previous findings and replacement or repair takes place. This condition is shown in FIG.
  • the grinding creates a projection 139 in the pinnacles 133, which protrudes into the outer groove 119, that is, into the cooling air passage.
  • this projection 139 has an oblique side 141 which is largely parallel to the oblique groove wall 125.
  • the oblique groove wall 125 and the oblique side 141 created during grinding in the projections 139 of the pinnacles thus lead to a bevelled contact surface in relation to the radial direction and the axial direction of the two components, which uses or generates the forces generated by transient movement of the components with temperature changes ., converts the components independently of each other, ie, they are pushed apart, and the forces that occur do not cause any consequential damage, such as tearing of battlements, deformation, etc.

An obstruction of thedeluftpasssage can be avoided.
  • the groove wall 127 opposite the inclined groove wall 125 is curved
  • the groove wall can be roof-shaped, that is to say with two planar wall sections which meet one another at an angle. In the simplest case, this can be realized by a rectangular in cross-section groove is introduced at an angle relative to the radial direction of the stone support ring 113 in the outside 115.
  • the angle which the groove encloses with the radial direction is in this case preferably in the range between 30 ° and 60 °. In order to avoid blockage of the cooling air passage by a deeper incorporation of the battlements (abandoned by a longer operation), they can be introduced beyond the height of the possible incorporated batt in the support ring.
  • the stone support ring is provided in the region of the groove (cooling air supply) with a slope (for example 40 °, but the slope is variable and functionally selected), which has a forced demolition of mixing housing and stone support ring result in cooling of the components.
  • a slope for example 40 °, but the slope is variable and functionally selected
