Patent number: 11149947Abstract: The can combustion chamber includes a casing housing a plurality of cans. Each can includes a wall and a perforated cooling liner around the wall. Cooling liners of adjacent cans have staggered perforations.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Felix Baumgartner, Michael Thomas Maurer, Christof Graber

Patent number: 10648667Abstract: A combustion chamber includes a duct wall for guiding a hot gas flow in a hot gas flow path during operation. The duct wall is a double-walled construction including an inner face, an outer face, and a wall cavity. A sleeve at least partly encloses the duct wall for guiding a cooling gas in a cooling channel between the sleeve and the duct wall along the outer surface of the duct wall to an exit end, and the cavity opens to the cooling channel. A gas turbine is disclosing as having such a combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Michael Thomas Maurer, Felix Baumgartner

Patent number: 10253985Abstract: The invention concerns a sequential liner for a gas turbine combustor, having a sequential liner outer wall spaced apart from a sequential liner inner wall to define a sequential liner cooling channel between the sequential liner outer wall and the sequential liner inner wall. The sequential liner outer wall includes a first face, a first adjacent face and a second adjacent face, the first and second adjacent faces each being adjacent to the first face, the first face of the sequential liner outer wall having a first convective cooling hole adjacent to the first adjacent face and a second convective cooling hole adjacent to the second adjacent face, each convective cooling hole being arranged to direct a convective cooling flow into the sequential liner cooling channel adjacent to each adjacent face. The invention also concerns a method of cooling using the sequential liner and a method of retrofitting a gas turbine.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Michael Thomas Maurer, Jeffrey De Jonge, Felix Baumgartner, Patrik Meng

Patent number: 10060352Abstract: An impingement cooled wall arrangement includes a flow diverter arranged in the cooling flow path between the cooled wall and a sleeve to divert a cross flow away from a second aperture. The flow diverter extends in downstream direction of the cross flow beyond the second aperture with a first leg extending along one side of the second aperture in downstream direction of the cross flow and a second leg extending along the other side of the second aperture. No impingement cooling aperture is arranged in a first convective cooling section of the wall between the upstream end and downstream end of the flow diverter outside the section shielded by the diverter.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Michael Thomas Maurer, Urs Benz, Felix Baumgartner
