Abstract
In a staged low NOx lean premix hot wall gas turbine combustor, the interior wall of the combustor is maintained at or near the flame temperature to provide stable operation over a wide range of heat release values. One or more stages of the staged combustor includes a Stirred Reactor region followed by a Plug Flow Reactor region. In one embodiment, a lean premixture of fuel and air is inducted tangentially into an annular intake manifold for inducting a cyclonic flow of the premixture into the combustion chamber. In another embodiment, the Stirred Reactor region is developed by colliding, preferably head-on, a plurality of jets of lean premixture within the combustion chamber.
