Abstract: A burner assembly of a gas turbine comprising: a tubular body defining the flow path for the hot gas of the combustion during the turbine operation; an aperture for a fuel lance; a wearing ring of a sacrificial material configured to correspond to the edge of the aperture; a contacting leg extending from the wearing ring on the tubular body; a pre-tension system configured to contact the contacting leg in order to provide a pre-tension force on the ring.

Abstract: A combustor wall element includes a wall having a front surface and a back surface. The front surface is provided on a front side of the wall and the back surface is provided on a back side of the wall. A through opening penetrates the wall from the front surface to the back surface. A duct is provided extending from the back surface and to a back end of the combustor wall element, and the duct is in fluid communication with the through opening. At least one cooling channel is provided inside the wall, wherein the cooling channel extends between a first open end and a second open end. At least a section of the cooling channel extends at least essentially parallel to the front surface.

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: In order to provide an annular combustion chamber (3) which can be heated without thermal distortion, expands without distortion, and is reliably closed, and for repairs can be opened and permanently closed again and can be reconditioned, the inner and/or outer shell (8, 7) of an annular combustion chamber (3) is produced from a rotationally symmetrical sheet metal. For assembly, the shells are cut open along a split line (16), and the lower half of the inner and of the outer shell (8, 7) is introduced into the lower casing half of a gas turbine. After the insertion of the rotor, the two upper shell halves can likewise be inserted and be connected to the lower halves by welding. In order to improve the service life of the split line weld seam (21), film cooling of the weld seam is routed by an indentation. This may be implemented, for example, by welded-in split line elements (15) which are also suitable for retrofitting.
