Abstract
A method of making an aero-derivative gas turbine engine () is provided. A combustor outer casing () is removed from an existing aero gas turbine engine (). An annular combustor () is removed from the existing aero gas turbine engine. A first row of turbine vanes () is removed from the existing aero gas turbine engine. A can annular combustor assembly () is installed within the existing aero gas turbine engine. The can annular combustor assembly is configured to accelerate and orient combustion gasses directly onto a first row of turbine blades of the existing aero gas turbine engine. A can annular combustor assembly outer casing () is installed to produce the aero-derivative gas turbine engine (). The can annular combustor assembly is installed within an axial span () of the existing aero gas turbine engine vacated by the annular combustor and the first row of turbine vanes.
