Patent number: 6694745Abstract: A method for running up a gas turbine plant (1) is disclosed. In the method, a fuel (6) is injected into the combustion chamber (5) via a plurality of pilot burners (10) and premix burners (11). During the start-up and in a lower load range, the combustion chamber (5) is operated in the pilot mode, and, at a specific time point, the combustion chamber (5) is changed over from the pilot mode to the premix mode. The changeover time point from the pilot mode to the premix mode depends on a variable changeover temperature (TSWO), and this changeover temperature (TSWO) is determined from pulsations occurring in the flame of the combustion chamber (5).Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Alstom Technology LtdInventors: Marcel Stalder, Dieter Rebhan, Thomas Kueenzi, Hans Peter Knoepfel

Patent number: 6688111Abstract: A combustion chamber includes a mixing zone and a combustion zone within which self-ignition of a fuel and air mixture can occur. Fuel and support air are injected laterally at the sidewall of the mixing zone into hot gases passing through the mixing zone. The operating range of the combustion chamber can be increased while noxious substances are reduced by injecting differently controlled fuel/support air mixture jets into different target spaces within the mixing zone.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2001Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Alstom Technology LtdInventors: Marcel Stalder, Daniel Burri, Urs Benz
