  • Publication number: 20170254541
    Abstract: A burner having a pre-mixing passage delimited radially outwardly by a wall, a burner lance and a plurality of fuel injectors arranged in the pre-mixing passage, the injectors extending from the burner lance in the direction of the wall and having fuel nozzles. The fuel supply arrangement has at least one fluidic oscillator that has an interaction chamber, an inlet to the interaction chamber connected to a fuel channel of the fuel supply arrangement, a first outlet channel of the interaction chamber extending at least to a first fuel nozzle and a second outlet channel extending at least to a second fuel nozzle, the fluidic oscillator has one feedback line for each outlet channel, one end of the feedback line terminating into the respective outlet channel downstream of the at least one fuel nozzle, and the other end thereof terminating into an inlet region of the interaction chamber.

  • Publication number: 20140345282
    Abstract: A combustion chamber (1) for a gas turbine plant having a combustion chamber wall (10), through which combustion gases (G) flow in the direction of a downstream gas turbine, wherein the combustion chamber wall (10) has a dampening device (20) for dampening thermoacoustic vibrations caused by the combustion gases (G) and wherein the dampening device (20) comprises at least one Helmholtz resonator. The resonator volume (21) opens into the combustion chamber (1) with the resonator tube opening (M) in the combustion chamber. At least one supply opening (23) with which sealing air (S) for sealing the resonator tube opening (M) is introduced into the combustion chamber (1) via the resonator volume (21) and an at least one resonator tube (22, 22?, 22?) from a compressor plenum (2). The at least one resonator tube (22, 22?, 22?) from a compressor plenum (2).

  • Publication number: 20130104554
    Abstract: A burner assembly for a gas turbine is provided. The burner assembly has a combustor, a centrally arranged pilot burner and plurality of main burners surrounding the pilot burner. Each main burner has a cylindrical housing having a lance which is centrally arranged therein and has a fuel channel for liquid fuel. The lance is supported on the housing by swirl blades and an attachment is arranged on the lance in the direction of the combustor. The liquid fuel nozzle is arranged in the attachment downstream of the swirl blades and connected to the fuel channel. For the improved mixing of the fuel with the air, the liquid fuel nozzle is designed as a full jet nozzle and the full jet nozzle has a length and a diameter, the ratio of the length to the diameter is at least 1.5.
