Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016036380A1] An acoustically dampened gas turbine engine having a gas turbine engine combustor (12) with an acoustic damping resonator system (10) is disclosed. The acoustic damping resonator system (10) may be formed from one or more resonators (16) formed from a resonator housing (18) positioned within the gas turbine engine combustor (12) at an outer housing (20) forming a combustor basket (22) and extending circumferentially within the combustor (12). In at least one embodiment, the resonator housing (18) may include one or more resonator chambers (24) that provide enhanced cooling with reduced risk of cracking and other damage. The resonator housing (18) may include resonator exhaust orifices (26) that are positioned closer to an area of maximum temperature within the combustor (12), thereby enabling the resonator (16) to reduce the temperature gradient within the combustor (12). The resonator housing (18) may be sized and configured to reduce stress found in conventional systems by increasing distances between resonator exhaust orifices (26) and between resonator inlet impingement orifices (30), among others.
