  • Patent number: 8677757
    Abstract: A combustion chamber head of a gas turbine has a confinement enclosing a dampening volume (207) and including a combustion chamber-opposite confinement (206) and a combustion chamber-side confinement (210). The combustion chamber-side confinement (210) is provided as perforated wall (210). In the edge area of the combustion chamber-side confinement (210), cooling air can be routed onto the combustion chamber-side confinement (210) via recesses (203) in the confinement (206). This cooling air, which flows along the combustion chamber-side confinement (210), crosses the cooling air flow through the perforated wall (210) in the combustion chamber (101) without mixing with the latter, as both are separated by walls.

  • Publication number: 20120117973
    Abstract: A gas-turbine combustion chamber has a cooling-air supply device delivering cooling air to a combustion chamber wall 6 to be cooled. The cooling-air supply device includes at least one air-supply duct 8 which, in respect of its flow axis, is arranged vertically to the combustion chamber wall 6, with the air-supply duct 8 being flow-connected to at least one cooling duct 9. The air-supply duct 8 forms a throttle and has a smaller diameter than the cooling duct 9. The cooling duct 9 issues at a shallow angle, relative to its flow axis, to the surface of the combustion chamber wall 6 in a recess 10 of the combustion chamber wall 6, with the cooling duct 9 being designed to impart a swirl to the air flowing through it.

  • Publication number: 20100192588
    Abstract: A cooling-air opening in produced in a wall (6) of a gas-turbine combustion chamber using a laser beam. In a first operation, a recess (10c) with a first, larger cross-section is produced from the hot gas side in a partial area of the wall (6) at a shallow angle to the surface. In at least one subsequent operation, a recess (10b, 10a) with a second, smaller cross-section is produced through the entire material of the wall (6) at a shallow angle to the surface while deepening a partial area of the previous recess (10c). A step (12), which is produced between the two recesses in the two operations, is larger than a median coating thickness of a subsequently applied ceramic thermal barrier coating (14).
