Bernhard COSIC has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11435083
    Abstract: An assembly for a gas turbine having a combustion chamber, a swirler, a combustion zone in the combustion chamber, and an air feed. In a transition region from the air feed to the swirler that is flowed through by the air, a plenum is formed and the assembly adjoining the plenum has the swirler, the combustion chamber, and a cover closing the combustion chamber. The assembly has an air conduction channel designed to conduct part of the air flow flowing into the assembly into the combustion chamber, so that the air flow leading through the air feed is divided into a main flow leading through the swirler into the combustion zone and a bypass flow leading past the combustion zone.

  • Publication number: 20200124284
    Abstract: A combustion chamber of a gas turbine combusts a fuel in the presence of combustion air. The combustion chamber is configured as dual-fuel combustion chamber, wherein the combustion chamber, in a gas fuel operating mode, is supplied with a mixture of a gaseous fuel and combustion air via a main swirl body. In a liquid fuel operating mode, the combustion chamber is supplied with a liquid fuel via an atomization apparatus and combustion air via the main swirl body. The atomization apparatus has an atomization lance with an atomization nozzle centrally arranged with respect to a longitudinal center axis of a prechamber of the combustion chamber. The atomization nozzle of the central atomization lance includes a swirl chamber and, downstream of the swirl chamber, a nozzle orifice. The swirl chamber is supplied with the liquid fuel via a radial swirl generator and an axial swirl generator.

  • Publication number: 20190003712
    Abstract: A combustion chamber assembly of a gas turbine, for combusting a fuel in the presence of combustion air, includes: a combustion chamber, in which combustion of fuel occurs; a precombustion chamber upstream of the combustion chamber; an atomization device that feeds a liquid fuel to the precombustion chamber; and a swirl body that feeds combustion air and gaseous fuel to the precombustion chamber. The combustion chamber assembly is configured as a dual-fuel combustion chamber assembly, which, in a gas fuel operating mode, feeds a mixture of a gaseous fuel and combustion air to the combustion chamber via the swirl body, and which, in a liquid fuel operating mode, feeds liquid fuel to the combustion chamber via the atomization device and combustion air to the combustion chamber via the swirl body. The atomization device includes an atomization lance with a central atomization nozzle, and plural decentralized atomization nozzles.

In a gas fuel operating mode a mixture of a gaseous fuel and combustion air is supplied to the combustion chamber via a swirl body. In a liquid fuel operating mode liquid fuel is fed to the combustion chamber via a fuel lance and combustion air is fed to the combustion chamber via the swirl body. The fuel lance is surrounded by an adjoining lance cap to form a radial clearance therebetween such that the combustion chamber is feedable with combustion air via the radial clearance, bypassing the swirl body.
