Abstract: Combustor device having a twin-shell tubular casing including: an inner tubular member which extends roughly coaxial a longitudinal axis of the combustor device, delimits the combustion chamber and surrounds the burner; and an outer tubular housing which extends roughly coaxial outside of the inner tubular member. An intermediate supporting structure includes an outer annular supporting member, an inner annular supporting member, and a series of three or more oblong connecting beams angularly staggered about the longitudinal axis of combustor device in cantilever manner to stably connect the inner and outer annular supporting members.

Abstract: A combustor device for a gas turbines engines includes first and a second tubular members telescopically fitted in axially sliding manner to one another with interposition of annular centering and sealing which include at least a centering annular shoulder and a sealing ring arranged coaxial to one another. The sealing ring is axially spaced apart from the centering annular shoulder so that an axial distance between the centering annular shoulder and the sealing ring is greater than a maximum axial movement allowed between the first and said second tubular members.

Abstract: A design for an effectively cooling a liner of a gas turbine combustor by means of convective cooling is disclosed.

Abstract: A hot gas segment arrangement, especially for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine, that includes at least one hot gas segment, which is removably mounted on a carrier, and is subjected at its outside to hot gas and impingement-cooled at its inside, whereby an impingement plate with a plurality of distributed impingement holes is arranged in a distance at the inside of the impingement plate. A cooling air supply means is provided for loading the impingement plate with pressurized cooling air in order to generate through the impingement holes jets of cooling air, which impinge on the inside of the hot gas segment. The cooling efficiency and lifetime are increased by the impingement plate being part of a closed receptacle, which is supplied with the pressurized cooling air, and by the receptacle with the impingement plate being mounted on the carrier independently of the hot gas segment.

Abstract: A fuel supply arrangement for a gas turbine burner is provided. The fuel distribution arrangement includes a rear section external to the burner located between a turbine wall and a fuel distribution system interface directing fuel into fuel supply circuits. The fuel distribution system interface has four fuel connections. An intermediate section is located between the turbine wall and the backside wall of a distribution chamber; and a front section in front of the second section located between said backside wall of the distribution chamber and a burner central backside block. The fuel distribution arrangement includes pipes for gaseous fuel, liquid fuel, as well as pilot gas, and liquid pilot fuel. In the rear section the pipes for gaseous fuel and for liquid fuel are arranged concentrically, and in at least one portion of the intermediate section the pipe for gaseous fuel is arranged non-concentrically with the liquid fuel pipe.
