Abstract
In an annular combustion chamber for a gas turbine, a combustion-chamber dome (14) is arranged upstream of an air-cooled combustion chamber (10). A first portion of an air flow (46) which comes from the compressor is admixed as combustion air to the combustion operation and cooling ducts (22; 24) feed a second portion of the air flow (46) coming from the compressor as cooling air into the combustion chamber (10). In this case, the cooling ducts (22; 24), which run at least in sections along the combustion chamber (10), have an entry (23; 25) into the combustion-chamber dome (14). The cooling ducts (22; 24) are designed for damping combustion-chamber oscillations in such a way that the acoustic impedance at the entry (23; 25) of the cooling ducts (22; 24) into the combustion-chamber dome (14) is minimized.
