  • Assembly of a gas turbine with combustion chamber air bypass
    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.
