CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a can combustor for a gas turbine for power plants.
In particular, the present invention relates to a can combustor provided with a damper.
Moreover, the present invention refers to a gas turbine for power plants comprising
the above mentioned can combustor.
Description of prior art
[0003] As known, a gas turbine for power plants (in the following only gas turbine) comprises
a rotor provided with an upstream compressor sector, a combustor sector and a downstream
turbine sector. The terms downstream and upstream refer to the direction of the main
gas flow passing through the gas turbine. In particular, the compressor comprises
an inlet supplied with air and a plurality of blades compressing the passing air.
The compressed air leaving the compressor flows into a plenum, i.e. a closed volume
delimited by an outer casing, and from there into the combustor. Inside the combustor
the compressed air is mixed with at least one fuel. The mixture of fuel and compressed
air flows into a combustion chamber inside the combustor where this mixture are combusted.
The resulting hot gas leaves the combustor and is expanded in the turbine performing
work on the rotor.
[0004] In order to achieve a high efficiency, a high turbine inlet temperature is required.
However, due to this high temperature, high NOx emissions are generated.
[0005] In order to reduce these emissions and to increase operational flexibility, today
is known a particular kind of gas turbines performing a sequential combustion cycle.
[0006] In general, a sequential gas turbine comprises two combustors in series wherein each
combustor is provided with the relative burner and combustion chamber. Following the
main gas flow direction, the upstream combustor is called "premix" combustor and is
fed by the compresses air. The downstream combustor is called "sequential" or "reheat"
combustor and is fed by the hot gas leaving the first combustion chamber. According
to a first kind of sequential gas turbines, the two combustors are physically separated
by a stage of turbine blades, called high pressure turbine.
[0007] Following the main gas flow, this first kind of sequential gas turbines comprises
a compressor, a first combustor, a high-pressure turbine, a second combustor and a
low-pressure turbine. The compressor and the two turbines may be connected to a common
rotor rotating around an axis and surrounded by a concentric casing.
[0008] Today a second kind of sequential gas turbines is known wherein this kind of gas
turbines is not provided with the high pressure turbine and the premix and the reheat
burner are arranged directly one downstream the other inside a common can-shaped casing.
According to this kind of sequential gas turbines, a plurality of can combustors are
provided arranged as a ring around the turbine axis. Each can-combustor is provided
with a liner, i.e. the casing limiting the inner combustion chambers, divided in two
portions respectively upstream and downstream with respect to the reheat burner. The
upstream portion of the liner is called premix liner whereas the downstream portion
is called sequential liner and is downstream connected with a flange, called picture
frame, facing the turbine. Usually, the sequential liner and the picture frame are
realized as a single piece called transition duct configured for guiding the hot gas
leaving the combustor toward the turbine, in particular toward the first vane of the
turbine. For instance, the reheat burner can be realized in form of a plurality of
single or dual fuel injector fingers extending across the flow channel. Preferably,
these injector fingers can be realized in form of a streamline body having preferably
a lobed trailing edge.
[0009] Of course, according to the prior art practice it is possible to realize a can combustor
with a single combustion stage and accordingly comprising a single burner and a single
liner defining a single combustion chamber.
[0010] The above described different kinds of gas turbines, i.e. the can combustor with
a single o two combustion stages, have been cited because the present invention can
be applied in all these two different kinds of can combustors.
[0011] During operation, inside the combustion chambers pressure oscillations may be generated
that could cause mechanical damages and limit the operating regime. Mostly gas turbines
have to operate in lean mode for compliance to pollution emissions. The burner flame
during this mode of operation is extremely sensitive to flow perturbations and can
easily couple with dynamics of the combustion chamber to lead to thermo-acoustic instabilities.
For this reason, usually combustion chambers are provided with damping devices, in
order to damp these pressure oscillations.
[0012] A traditional damper comprises a damper volume that acts as a resonator volume and
a neck fluidly connecting the damper volume to the combustion chamber.
[0013] In order to reduce the installation size of the damper, today is known to arrange
damper volume around the combustion chamber. This kind of installation is suitable
for can combustors and in view of the disposition around the can combustor, this kind
of dampers are called "annular" dampers.
[0014] US8490744 discloses an annular damper as above described. In particular,
US8490744 discloses a can combustor for a gas turbine having a single stage of combustion wherein
the can combustor comprises a burner, a liner arranged downstream the burner and defining
an inner combustion chamber and a damper comprising a damper volume wrapped outside
the liner and in fluidly connections with the combustion chamber. According to
US8490744, in order to minimize the installation size of the damper, the inner wall of the
damper volume corresponds to the liner and the damper necks collapse in a plurality
of through holes provided in the liner.
[0015] Starting from this prior art, there is today the need to improve the foregoing described
configuration of dampers wrapped around the liner.
[0016] US2016215984 discloses a combustor assembly comprising a liner and a damper assembly provided
with a damper volume and a damper neck acting as a bridge between the damper volume
and the combustor. According to
US2016215984 the damper neck may be alternatively integral with the combustor This document discloses
the or with the damper volume. preamble of independent claim 1.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0017] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a can combustor provided
with a new damper wrapped around the liner.
[0018] In order to achieve the objective mentioned above, the present invention provides
a can combustor for a gas turbine according to claim 1.
[0019] In particular, the above mentioned damper can be considered as a resonator device
or acoustic damper.
[0020] According to the above general description of the invention, the can combustor may
be provided with a single stage of combustion or two stages of combustion arranged
in series. In the first case (single combustion stage) the can combustor comprises
a burner followed downstream by a liner defining the combustion chamber and guiding
the hot gas flow toward the turbine. The term downstream refers to the hot gas main
flow direction. The cross-section of the liner defining the combustion chamber may
be circular or square/rectangular.
[0021] According to the invention, the damper body is annular and arranged spaced from the
liner, i.e. the damper body has an inner surface facing the outer surface of the liner,
in order to create a cooling gap or channel between the damper body and the liner.
In this cooling gap between the liner and the damper body at least a damper neck is
present acting as a bridge for fluidly connecting the damping volume with the combustion
chamber. Moreover, in order to increase the cooling effect of the cooling air passing
through the cooling channel, according to the invention, the cooling gap between the
damper body and the liner is provided with a cooling device, for instance a plurality
of trip strips or turbolator elements or other different kinds of cooling device.
This cooling device is placed on the outer surface of the liner and on the inner wall
of the damper body. The ends of the damper neck may be in flush with the liner and/or
the damper body or alternatively may protrude at least in part inside the combustion
chamber and/or in the damping volume. The term "inner" refers to the combustor axis.
[0022] Advantageously, according to the above technical features it is possible to create
a controlled convective cooling air flow (in the following will be described that
this cooling air is the compressed air delivered in the plenum by the compressor)
between the damper body and the liner and therefore the purge air passing through
the damper body may be independently adjusted without impacting the liner cooling.
In this way, a dumper purge air reduction, for instance applied for optimizing the
damping effect, does not involve any detrimental effect on the liner cooling.
[0023] According to alternative embodiments, the damper body may wrap the liner completely
or only in part. Preferably, the damper body wraps the liner completely and the damping
volume can be divided in a plurality of sub-volumes.
[0024] Of course, the damper may comprises a plurality of damper necks connecting the combustion
chamber with the damping volume.
[0025] As foregoing mentioned, the damper comprises at least a purge air inlet configured
for entering purge air in the damping volume. According to alternative embodiments,
the purge air inlet may be located on the outer wall of the damper body or on the
inner wall of the damper body facing the liner. Preferably, in this last embodiment
the purge air inlet may be located between the damper neck and the damper body. In
this case, part of the cooling air passing through the cooling gap enters into the
damping volume acting as purge air. According to the present invention it also possible
to provide the damper with two purge air inlets wherein a first purge air inlet is
located between the damper neck and the damper body and the second purge air inlet
is located on the outer wall of the damper body.
[0026] Preferably, the can combustor is a sequential can combustor and comprises in series
a first burner, a first liner defining a first combustion chamber, a subsequent burner
and a subsequent liner defining a subsequent combustion chamber. In this configuration
the damper is associated at least to the subsequent liner.
[0027] The invention has been foregoing described as referring to the can combustor. However,
the present invention refers also to a gas turbine for power plants comprising such
a can combustor wherein preferably this can combustor is a sequential can combustor.

of the present invention are described thereinafter according to preferable embodiments,
being not used to limit its executing scope. Any equivalent variation and modification
made according to appended claims is all covered by the claims claimed by the present
invention.
[0033] Reference will now be made to the enclosed drawings to describe the present invention
in detail.
[0034] Reference is now made to Fig. 1 that is a schematic view of a gas turbine for power
plants that can be provided with a can combustor according to the present invention.
In particular, figure 1 discloses a gas turbine 1 having an axis 9 and comprising
a compressor 2, a combustor sector 4 and a turbine 3. As known, ambient air 10 enters
the compressor 2 and compressed air leaves the compressor 2 and enters in a plenum
16, i.e. a volume defined by an outer casing 17. From the plenum 16, the compressed
air 37 enters in the combustor that comprises a plurality of can combustors 4 annularly
arranged as ring around the axis 9. In the description of figure 1, the terms annular,
radial, axial, inner and outer refer to the axis 9 whereas the terms downstream and
upstream refer to the gas main flow. Each can combustor 4 involves a single stage
of combustion and comprises a burner 5 where the compressed air 37 is mixed with at
least a fuel. This mixture is then combusted in a combustion chamber 6 and the resulting
hot gas flows toward a downstream turbine 3. The combustion chamber 6 is limited by
a liner 7. The turbine 3 comprises a plurality of vanes 12, i.e. stator blades, supported
by a vane carrier 14, and a plurality of blades 13, i.e. rotor blades, supported by
a rotor 8. In the turbine 3, the hot gas expands performing work on the rotor 8 and
leaves the turbine 3 in form of exhaust gas 11.
[0035] Reference is now made to figure 2 that is schematic view of a different kind of can
combustor that can be improved according the present invention. In particular, figure
2 disclose a can combustor 4 having two stages of combustion in series and housed
in a relative portal hole of an outer casing 17 defining the plenum 16 where the compresses
air are delivered by the compressor 2. The can combustor 4 has an axis 24 and comprises
in series along the gas flow M a first combustor, or premix combustor 18, and a second
combustor, or sequential combustor 19. In particular, the first combustor 18 comprises
a first or premix burner 20 and a first combustion chamber 21. The sequential combustor
19 comprises a sequential burner 22 and a second combustion chamber 23. The burner
axis 24 is parallel to the gas flow direction M and the sequential burner 22 may comprise
a plurality of fuel injectors, in particular dual fuel and carrying air injectors.
According to the embodiment of figure 2, the fuel is fed to the sequential burner
22 by a fuel lance 25 axially extending outside the first combustion chamber 21 up
to the sequential burner 22. The combustion chambers 21 23 are delimited by a liner
7. In particular, the premix combustion chamber 21 is limited by an upstream portion
of the liner 7 and the sequential combustion chambers 21 by a sequential liner 26
that is part of a transition duct 27 for guiding the hot gas toward the turbine.
[0036] Reference is now made to figures 3-7 that are schematic views of two alternative
embodiments of the present invention. In these figures, the reference number 7 refers
to a liner in general and therefore may correspond to the single liner 7 of the can
combustor 4 of figure 1 but also to the sequential liner 26 of figure 2. In the same
way, in the figures 3-7 the reference number 6 refers to a combustion chamber in general
and therefore may correspond to the combustion chamber 6 of the can combustor 4 of
figure 1 but also to the sequential combustion chamber 23 of figure 2. Figures 3-7
disclose an annular damper 28 comprising a damper body 29 defining a damping volume
30 that is wrapped outside around the liner 7. The damper body 28 is spaced from the
liner 7 in order to form a cooling gap 31 between the damper body 29 and the liner
7. The reference C in figures 3-7 refers to a cooling air, i.e. the compressed air
delivered by the compressor in the plenum, passing in the cooling gap 31. A damper
neck 32 connects the damping volume 30 with the combustion chamber 6 and acts as a
bridge in the cooling gap 31 between the liner 7 and the damper body 29.
[0037] As disclosed, the damper neck 32 may be welded to the liner 7 and the damper body
29 is connected or integral with the damper neck 32.
[0038] According to the embodiment of figures 3-4, the damper purge air P enters the damping
volume 30 passing through a purge air inlet 33 realized on the outer wall of the damper
body 29. Therefore, in this embodiment the purge air flow P is decoupled from the
cooling air C passing through the cooling gap 31.
[0039] According to the embodiment of figures 5-6, the purge air inlet is realized in form
of a gap 34 realized between the damper neck 32 and the damper body 29. In this embodiment,
part of the cooling air C passing through the cooling gap 31 enters the damping volume
30 becomes the purge air P. Therefore, in this embodiment part of cooling air C passing
through the cooling gap 31 enters the damping volume 30 acting as purge air flow P.

embodiments of figures 4 and 6. Indeed, the embodiment of figure 7 is provided with
two purge air inlets 33, 34 wherein the first purge air inlet 34 is located between
the damper neck 32 and the damper body 29 and the second purge air inlet 33 is located
on the outer wall of the damper body 29.
