  • Integral Liner and Venturi for Eliminating Air Leakage
    Publication number: 20110041507
    Abstract: A combustion liner assembly for a gas turbine combustor includes a plurality of fuel nozzles disposed circumferentially about a central axis of the combustor, and a venturi section disposed downstream of the fuel nozzles and connected to a head end of the liner assembly. The venturi section defines an annular throat area downstream of the fuel nozzles. A liner sleeve is connected to and commences at a downstream end of the venturi section. At least a portion of the venturi section serves as a liner upstream of the liner sleeve.
