A burner carrier flange and a burner with such a burner carrier flange are provided. A surface of the burner carrier flange potentially comes into contact with fuel. The burner carrier element includes a base material and a corrosion-resistant material and the surface that potentially comes into contact with fuel is made of the corrosion-resistant material.

Burning element and burner with a corrosion-resistant insert

A burner incorporating a pilot cone and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone is constructed as a pilot cone assembly which is decoupled from the mounting insert. Further, an operating method for increasing the service life of a burner which incorporates a pilot cone assembly and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone assembly has a cone side and incorporates at least one further side where the further side is arranged to be essentially parallel to one of the sides of the mounting insert and spaced apart from it, so that between the further side and the side of the mounting insert there is a defined gap. In an operation of the burner, the gap is significantly reduced by the thermal expansion in at least at one point of contact between the further side and the side of the mounting insert. Finally, an assembly method is provided.

Burner, operating method and assembly method

A burner assembly having a fuel distribution ring, number of fuel nozzles which are mounted on the fuel distribution ring in the direction of low is provided. The fuel distribution ring has a ring-shaped surface in the direction of flow and wherein the fuel distribution ring center and an opposite outer outer side and wherein there is at least one slot on the surface between the fuel nozzles and the at least one slot extends on the surface from the outside to the inside. There is at least one recess arranged on the surface and the at least one recess also partially includes the outside of the fuel distributor.

A fuel nozzle including a nozzle tube and a nozzle outlet opening is provided. The nozzle tube is connected to a fuel feed line for feeding a fuel to the nozzle tube, wherein the fuel is fed from the nozzle outlet opening to an annular air stream surrounding the fuel nozzle, wherein a first nozzle tube section that extends up to the nozzle outlet opening is designed in a floral pattern in such a way that the fuel may be fed substantially coaxially into the air stream.

Fuel nozzle with flower shaped nozzle tube

A burner for a gas turbine including a main burner and a pilot burner is provided. The main burner has a supporting structure, a heat shield and a holder for the heat shield, and wherein the holder is at least partially located within the supporting structure and the heat shield is at least partially located within the holder. The heat shield is fastened to the holder by a force-fit and/or a frictional connection.

Disclosed is a gas turbine fuel injector and swirler assembly, including: a delivery tube structure arranged on a central axis of the fuel injector and swirler assembly, a first fuel supply channel arranged in the delivery tube structure, a shroud surrounding the delivery tube structure, swirl vanes arranged between the delivery tube structure and the shroud, a radial passage in each swirl vane, communicating with the first fuel supply channel, a set of apertures open between the radial passage and the exterior surface of said each swirl vane, wherein a second fuel supply channel is arranged in the delivery tube structure extending to a downstream end of the delivery tube structure and a mixer with lobes for fuel injection is arranged at the downstream end. Further disclosed is an assembly method for assembling a fuel injector and swirler assembly.

Fuel injector and swirler assembly with lobed mixer

A method of operating a multi-fuel combustion system is provided. The method includes a first phase and a second phase, wherein the first phase includes providing ignition to a combustor basket to ignite a first type of fuel, where the first type of fuel is supplied to the combustor basket through a first conduit. Also in first phase steam is also supplied to the first conduit in addition to the first type of fuel and steam is supplied to the second conduit after the ignition. In the second phase a second type of fuel is supplied to the combustor basket through the second conduit after ignition of the first fuel through the first conduit, while stopping the supply of the first fuel, and continuing to supply steam through both the first and second conduits.
