Definitions
- the present invention relates to a can combustor for a gas turbine for power plants.
- the present invention relates to a can combustor provided with a damper.
- the present invention refers to a gas turbine for power plants comprising the above mentioned can combustor.
- a gas turbine for power plants comprises a rotor provided with an upstream compressor sector, a combustor sector and a downstream turbine sector.
- the terms downstream and upstream refer to the direction of the main gas flow passing through the gas turbine.
- the compressor comprises an inlet supplied with air and a plurality of blades compressing the passing air.
- the compressed air leaving the compressor flows into a plenum, i.e. a closed volume delimited by an outer casing, and from there into the combustor.
- a plenum i.e. a closed volume delimited by an outer casing
- the compressed air is mixed with at least one fuel.
- the mixture of fuel and compressed air flows into a combustion chamber inside the combustor where this mixture are combusted.
- the resulting hot gas leaves the combustor and is expanded in the turbine performing work on the rotor.
- a sequential gas turbine comprises two combustors in series wherein each combustor is provided with the relative burner and combustion chamber. Following the main gas flow direction, the upstream combustor is called “premix” combustor and is fed by the compresses air. The downstream combustor is called “sequential” or “reheat” combustor and is fed by the hot gas leaving the first combustion chamber.
- the two combustors are physically separated by a stage of turbine blades, called high pressure turbine.
- this first kind of sequential gas turbines comprises a compressor, a first combustor, a high-pressure turbine, a second combustor and a low-pressure turbine.
- the compressor and the two turbines may be connected to a common rotor rotating around an axis and surrounded by a concentric casing.
- the sequential liner and the picture frame are realized as a single piece called transition duct configured for guiding the hot gas leaving the combustor toward the turbine, in particular toward the first vane of the turbine.
- the reheat burner can be realized in form of a plurality of single or dual fuel injector fingers extending across the flow channel.
- these injector fingers can be realized in form of a streamline body having preferably a lobed trailing edge.
- pressure oscillations may be generated that could cause mechanical damages and limit the operating regime.
- gas turbines have to operate in lean mode for compliance to pollution emissions.
- the burner flame during this mode of operation is extremely sensitive to flow perturbations and can easily couple with dynamics of the combustion chamber to lead to thermo-acoustic instabilities. For this reason, usually combustion chambers are provided with damping devices, in order to damp these pressure oscillations.
- a traditional damper comprises a damper volume that acts as a resonator volume and a neck fluidly connecting the damper volume to the combustion chamber.
- US8490744 discloses an annular damper as above described.
- US8490744 discloses a can combustor for a gas turbine having a single stage of combustion wherein the can combustor comprises a burner, a liner arranged downstream the burner and defining an inner combustion chamber and a damper comprising a damper volume wrapped outside the liner and in fluidly connections with the combustion chamber.

- US2016215984 discloses a combustor assembly comprising a liner and a damper assembly provided with a damper volume and a damper neck acting as a bridge between the damper volume and the combustor. According to US2016215984 the damper neck may be alternatively integral with the combustor This document discloses the or with the damper volume. preamble of independent claim 1.

- the cooling gap between the damper body and the liner is provided with a cooling device, for instance a plurality of trip strips or turbolator elements or other different kinds of cooling device.
- This cooling device is placed on the outer surface of the liner and on the inner wall of the damper body.
- the ends of the damper neck may be in flush with the liner and/or the damper body or alternatively may protrude at least in part inside the combustion chamber and/or in the damping volume.
- inner refers to the combustor axis.
- this cooling air is the compressed air delivered in the plenum by the compressor
- the purge air passing through the damper body may be independently adjusted without impacting the liner cooling.
