Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0870990A1] The combustion chamber (1) has at least one annular toroidal interior (8) actively connected to burners (5) around the periphery of the combustion chamber. The toroidal interior has a hot gas duct (11) branching off in a peripheral direction and positioned on the flow plane of a turbine (3) placed after the gas turbo group. The end of the hot gas duct has guide-blades (12) co-operating with the turbine. The annular toroidal interior is enclosed in a shell (13) in which flows a coolant (15) in the intermediate space (14) formed. Combustion air (7) belonging to a plenum (6) feeds the burners.
