  • System and method for high frequency acoustic dampers with baffles
    Patent number: 11174792
    Abstract: A rotary machine includes at least one burner including a front panel having a front side and an opposing back side. The acoustic damper includes at least one wall, at least one cooling air inlet, at least one outlet, and at least one baffle. The wall extends from the back side of the front panel and defines a dampening chamber. The cooling air inlet is defined within the back side of the front panel and is configured to channel a flow of cooling air into the dampening chamber. The outlet is defined within the back side of the front panel and is configured to channel the flow of cooling air out of the dampening chamber. The baffle extends from the back side of the front panel and is configured to reduce a velocity of the flow of cooling air within the dampening chamber.

  • Gas turbine combustor with heat exchanger between rich combustion zone and secondary combustion zone
    Patent number: 11041623
    Abstract: A combustor for a turbomachine includes a rich combustion zone and a low temperature zone downstream of the rich combustion zone. A heat exchanger is positioned downstream of the rich combustion zone and upstream of the low temperature zone. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of air passages, a plurality of air inlets in fluid communication with the plurality of air passages, and a plurality of combustion gas passages. Each of the combustion gas passages extends between a combustion gas inlet in fluid communication with the rich combustion zone and a combustion gas outlet in fluid communication with the low temperature zone. The plurality of combustion gas passages are in thermal communication with the plurality of air passages.
