Patent number: 10502423Abstract: An exemplary sequential combustor arrangement includes a first burner, a first combustion chamber, a mixer for admixing a dilution gas to the hot gases leaving the first combustion chamber during operation, a second burner, and a second combustion chamber arranged sequentially in a fluid flow connection. The mixer includes at least three groups of injection tubes pointing inwards from the side walls of the mixer for admixing the dilution gas to cool the hot flue gases leaving the first combustion chamber. The first injection tubes of the first group have a first protrusion depth, the second injection tubes of the second group have a protrusion depth, and the third injection tubes of the third group have a third protrusion depth.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Xianfeng Gao, Luis Tay Wo Chong Hilares

Patent number: 10330319Abstract: The invention refers to a sequential combustor arrangement including a first burner, a first combustion chamber, a mixer for admixing a dilution gas to the hot gases leaving the first combustion chamber during operation, a second burner, and a second combustion chamber arranged sequentially in a fluid flow connection. The mixer includes a plurality of injection pipes pointing inwards from the side walls of the mixer for admixing the dilution gas to cool the hot flue gases leaving the first combustion chamber with a low pressure drop. The disclosure further refers to a method for operating a gas turbine with such a combustor arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Michael Duesing, Luis Tay Wo Chong Hilares, Mirko Ruben Bothien, Jaan Hellat, Bruno Schuermans

Patent number: 10323574Abstract: The invention refers to a combustor arrangement of a gas turbine engine or power plant, having at least one combustion chamber, at least one mixer for admixing a dilution medium or air to the hot gas flow leaving the combustion chamber. The mixer is configured to guide combustion gases in a hot gas flow path extending downstream of the combustion chamber, wherein the mixer includes a plurality of injection pipes pointing inwards from the side walls of the mixer for admixing the dilution medium or air to cool the hot gas flow leaving combustion chamber. The mixer includes at least one dilution air plenum having at least one pressure-controlled compartment which is directly or indirectly connected to at least one injection pipe.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Devis Tonon, Mirko Ruben Bothien, Luis Tay Wo Chong Hilares

Patent number: 10247420Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an axially staged mixer arrangement with dilution air or dilution gas injection in connection with a combustion arrangement of a gas turbine engine or turbo machinery, having at least one combustion chamber, at least one mixer arrangement for admixing air or gas portions to the hot gas flow leaving the combustion chamber. The mixer arrangement includes a plurality of injectors for admixing air portions to cool at least the hot gas flow leaving combustion chamber. The spacing between the last injection location of acting injectors and at least one subsequently arranged dilution air injection, inside of the mixer arrangement in the hot gas flow, where there is no node between the injection locations, corresponds to a distance equal or approximating to half of convective wave length.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Mirko Ruben Bothien, Luis Tay Wo Chong Hilares, Adnan Eroglu, Bruno Schuermans, Michael Düsing
