Abstract: An apparatus for injecting premixed fuel and air through a center body and into the combustion zone of a gas turbine includes a fuel injector nozzle with a premix pilot nozzle having a plurality of premix passages in fluid communication with an air supply and a fuel supply that premixes air and fuel within the premix passages. The apparatus has either an active or passive fuel feed control. Fuel can be fed to the apparatus either conventionally or as a breech load circuit integrated into the oil cartridge. Fuel can be supplied passively via a fuel channel connecting the swozzle fuel plenum to the premix passages. Alternatively, fuel can be injected from the oil cartridge into the premix passages.

Abstract: A system comprises a turbine combustor cap. The turbine combustor cap includes a plurality of segments. Each segment of the plurality of segments has edges abutting at least two fuel nozzle receptacles. Moreover, each segment of the plurality of segments does not completely surrounding any one fuel nozzle receptacle.

Abstract: A resilient annular seal structure is disposed radially between an aft end portion of a combustor liner and a forward end portion of a transition piece, the resilient annular seal structure configured to form a first annular cavity radially between the forward end portion of the transition piece and the aft end portion of said combustor. At least one transfer tube radially extends from the second flow sleeve through the second flow annulus to the transition piece, and is arranged to supply compressor discharge cooling air radially from an area outside the first and second substantially axially extending flow annuli directly to the resilient annular seal structure and to the aft end of the combustor liner.

Abstract: A combustor assembly for a turbine includes a combustor and a combustor liner; a first flow sleeve surrounding the combustor liner forming a first substantially axially-extending flow annulus radially therebetween. The first flow sleeve has a first plurality of apertures formed about a circumference thereof for directing compressor discharge air as cooling air radially into said first flow annulus. A transition piece is connected to the combustor liner, the transition piece adapted to carry hot combustion gases to the turbine, and a second flow sleeve surrounds the transition piece forming a second substantially axially-extending flow annulus radially therebetween. The second flow sleeve has a second plurality of apertures for directing compressor discharge air as cooling air radially into the second flow annulus, the first substantially axially-extending flow annulus connecting with the second substantially axially-extending flow annulus.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a combustor of a turbine system may include a liner disposed inside the combustor. The lining element may include a heat shield having a mounting stud extending along an axis and a shell having an inner surface oriented towards the heat shield. The shell may include a passage configured to receive the mounting stud, and the mounting stud may include a structure configured to hold the heat shield apart from the inner surface of the shell along the axis of the mounting stud.
