Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gas turbine combustion chamber having a housing, a flame tube accommodated therein and a perforated plate surrounding this, which is fastened to the housing at a front end, and a gas turbine, in particular a stationary gas turbine, with such a gas turbine combustor.
  • combustion air a fluid, usually called air and therefore generalized hereinafter as combustion air, first compressed to a higher pressure level and burned as a combustion air-fuel mixture in a combustion chamber before in a turbine enthalpy of the exhaust gas is converted into mechanical energy and as useful power is available.
  • the combustion chamber experiences both high pressure and temperature loads due to the pressure level and the combustion. Therefore, it has hitherto been customary in the prior art to reinforce the housing of the combustion chamber by inner and / or outer stiffening ribs, to use highly heat-resistant materials and to provide a so-called flame tube in the housing, which limits the combustion zone and thus at least partially shields the housing against the combustion heat ,
  • an impingement cooling of the flame tube known.
  • a perforated plate surrounding the flame tube is provided. Compressed combustion air hits through holes in the perforated plate from the outside to the flame tube and cools this before it is fed by a radial swirl generator the Flammrohrinnen- or combustion chamber and burned there.
  • the US 6,134,877 shows a gas turbine combustor having a housing, a flame tube accommodated therein and a conical cylinder surrounding it, having in a downstream region openings for impingement cooling a region of decreasing diameter of the flame tube and at one front end attached to the housing.
  • a folded region By a folded region, an axial compliance of the cylinder is introduced to allow thermal expansion.
  • the cylinder opens with its other front end in the turbine outlet.
  • the US 5,784,876 shows a generic gas turbine combustor. From the JP 58 210413 A and the DE 197 51 299 A1 In each case, combustors for gas turbine burners with various wall / housing structures are disclosed.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a gas turbine or its combustion chamber.
  • a gas turbine combustion chamber according to the preamble of claim 1 is further developed by its characterizing features.
  • Claim 9 provides a gas turbine with at least one gas turbine combustor according to the invention under protection, the dependent claims relate to advantageous developments.
  • the present invention is based on the idea to reduce or replace previously required stiffening ribs of the housing by integrating or integrating the perforated plate as a support structure on both sides into the housing structure and thus increasing the structural rigidity and / or strength of the housing.
  • a gas turbine combustor for this purpose, comprises a housing with a flame tube received therein and a perforated plate surrounding it at least partially, which is fastened to the housing at an end face, wherein the perforated plate is likewise fastened to the housing at its other front end, wherein the housing is an outer casing of the combustion chamber and forms an annular chamber which is formed from a plurality of parts welded together sheets, wherein the gas turbine combustor at a End face has an annular plate of a swirl generator and at the other end a flange for attachment to a turbine housing and the perforated plate is integrally formed and is secured via welds on the one hand at both ends with an annular plate or the flange and on the other hand attached to the annular chamber, so that its two end-side end portions form integral parts of the outer housing and loads of the housing are received and transmitted by the perforated plate.
  • the perforated plate in addition to the flow guide and cooling according to the invention also used for transmitting loads of the housing and this is connected on both sides of the housing, the strength and / or rigidity of the housing can be increased without increasing its weight by excessive inner or outer ribs.
  • the perforated plate at least in a primary combustion region of the flame tube, has cooling openings, in particular bores and / or slot openings, for impingement cooling of the flame tube.
  • the cooling holes for example, an angular offset of axially adjacent cooling holes, so that the perforated plate has network structure, or axially aligned cooling holes, so that the perforated plate axially continuous webs, by slits in the axial and / or circumferential direction of the perforated plate and / or a limitation of the number and / or diameter of the cooling openings can be adjusted, in particular axial, rigidity and strength of the perforated plate.
  • the annular chamber urges the perforated plate with combustion air, so as to preferably cool this thermally highly stressed axial portion of the flame tube.
  • the annular chamber is preferably designed such that the entire supplied combustion air is supplied to the flame tube through cooling openings of the perforated plate and, for this purpose, may preferably extend substantially in the primary combustion region in the axial direction.
  • the perforated plate can define or define the annular chamber radially from the inside and extend axially on one or both sides beyond the annular chamber adjoining it from outside.
  • the annular chamber can put on the outside of the perforated plate, which is thus structurally integrated as part of the outer housing in this.
  • the perforated plate is permanently attached to both sides of welds on welds on the housing.
  • structural loads can be transferred particularly favorably between housing and perforated plate.
  • the perforated plate can have one or more sections which delimit a combustion air feed to the outside environment.
  • Such sections may be formed with a section having cooling openings in one or more parts, in particular ur- or reshaped with each other.
  • the housing at least in the region of the perforated plate, be formed largely free of ribs.
  • the swirl generator is a radial swirl generator.
  • the housing can be advantageously formed thinner walls.
  • one or more corresponding areas of the housing and the perforated plate have substantially the same wall thickness.
  • regions at the same axial height of the combustion chamber are referred to as corresponding regions.
  • the flame tube is axially fixed at its upstream front end to the housing. Due to the connection on both sides of the perforated plate, the larger clearance or the larger thermal expansions can occur in an upstream head region of the combustion chamber occur, so that it may be advantageous to now provide the fixed storage of a fixed-mounted flame tube there.
  • Fig. 1 is, as stated in the introduction, shown a gas turbine according to the prior art with two external combustion chambers, the housing 100 are reinforced with stiffening ribs 110 and thus complicate the handling by their higher weight and burden the underlying turbine housing to which they are attached.
  • Fig. 2 shows a gas turbine combustor according to an embodiment of the present invention in axial or longitudinal section to replace the in Fig. 1 shown combustion chambers.
  • a flame tube 2 In its interior, a flame tube 2 defines a combustion chamber. This is supplied by a radial swirl generator 5, a combustion air-fuel mixture B, burned substantially in a cylindrical primary combustion zone of the combustion or flame tube interior and the exhaust gas A from there to a turbine (not shown) supplied.
  • the outer housing 1 of the combustion chamber forms an annular chamber 1 which is formed in several parts from sheet-metal parts welded together.
  • the one-piece perforated plate 3 is on welds 8 on the one hand at both ends with an annular plate 6 of the swirl generator 5 and a flange for attachment of the outer combustion chamber to a turbine housing (not shown) and on the other hand attached to the annular chamber 1, so that its two end-side end portions 3.1, 3.2 form integral parts of the outer housing.
  • the perforated plate is formed axially in several parts with a central part having the cooling holes 4 and the front side in each case to the annular chamber 1 or edge strips 3.1, 3.2 of the perforated plate is welded.
  • the plate 6 of the swirl generator 5 and the flange, to which the perforated plate 3 forming part of the outer housing is welded, are connected via screw connections 7.1, 7.2 to a cover or turbine housing (not shown).
  • the perforated plate 3 for transmitting loads of the housing 1 and for this purpose at its front ends 3.1, 3.2 attached to the housing, it can in addition to its function, combustion air V to be directed to the flame tube 2 and to the swirl generator lead to reinforce the housing. This can therefore, at least in the reinforced by the tethered perforated plate area, largely free of ribs and thus easier to be formed.
  • the perforated plate can also be advantageous, especially in low-load areas 3.1, 3.2, directly form the outer housing, which makes the construction of the combustion chamber advantageously more compact and manufacturing technology cheaper. Since the perforated plate defines the annular chamber radially from the inside and subsequently defines the combustion air supply to the swirl generator in the regions 3.1, 3.2 as the outer housing, the entire combustion air serves to cool the flame tube in a structurally advantageous manner. At the same time by placing the annular chamber 1 outside of the axially projecting beyond the perforated plate. 3 this perforated plate, the front-side edge portions 3.1, 3.2 act as part of the outer housing, integrated in a structurally advantageous manner.
