An improved flame tube or 'liner' () for a combustion chamber () of a gas turbine with low emission of pollutants, of the type comprising a cylindrical structure connected to the outlet of a premixing chamber () by means of a truncated conical end (), in which the premixing chamber () is supplied with air which is guided by a cavity () which is located between the flame tube () and outer walls () of the combustion chamber (), this air circulating in the opposite direction to the flow of combustion products; a first cylindrical region () of the flame tube () is surrounded by a cylindrical casing () which creates an annular chamber ().

Flame tube or 'liner' for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine with low emission of pollutants

An improved combination () of a premixing chamber () and a combustion chamber (), with low emission of pollutants, for gas turbines running on liquid and/or gas fuel, in which the combustion chamber () has a truncated conical end () and is surrounded by a cavity () for cooling air (), the cavity () carrying combustion air () to the premixing chamber (), which has at its inlet apertures or ports () which can be constricted according to the quantity of fuel used, and at its outlet a circumferential set of burners () to create a corresponding set of additional flames; gas fuel supply means () fuel and liquid fuel injection devices () are provided in the premixing chamber (), and a set of liquid fuel injectors () is present on the end ().

Combination of a premixing chamber and a combustion chamber, with low emission of pollutants, for gas turbines running on liquid and/or gas fuel

An improved liquid fuel injector ( ) for burners of gas turbines, of the type comprising a tube ( ) which supplies the liquid fuel to an injector head ( ), an external tube ( ) being provided around the tube ( ) to form an annular cavity ( ) where pressurized air is supplied, and a covering element ( ) being provided around the head ( ) to form a cavity ( ); a turbulence element ( ) comprising blading ( ) is provided before the head ( ).

Liquid fuel injector for burners of gas turbines

Combustion system with low polluting emissions for gas turbines, of the pre-mixing type, wherein a series of parallel burners, autonomously fed with additional fuel, is circumferentially arranged around the conjunction choke of the pre-mixing chamber with the combustion chamber, to create in the combustion zone immediately before the choke a corresponding series of additional flames for the stabilization of the main flame, the combustion air for the burners deriving from the cooling air of the tapered head of the combustion chamber, which is sent to the burners through twirled blades to give a substantially helicoidal movement to the air.

Perfected combustion system with low polluting emissions for gas turbines

A combustion system with low pollutant emission, of the pre-mixing type for gas turbines, in which the combustion air passes from the interspace to the pre-mixing chamber via apertures in this latter, their degree of opening being varied, in accordance with the fuel quantity used, by corresponding apertures in a rotatable drum, and in which a series of small holes fed with additional fuel is provided in the interspace. Further flame stabilization expedients and differential cooling of the combustion chamber are also provided.
