ANTI-FLASHBACK COMBUSTOR FOR A GAS TURBINE

A gas turbine combustor (10) comprises a base plate (12) from which protrude a plurality of lips (36) that surround respective apertures (16) into which are positioned downstream ends (19) of main swirler assemblies (18). The apertures (16) are arranged about a centrally positioned pilot cone (22) t...

Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine combustor (10) comprises a base plate (12) from which protrude a plurality of lips (36) that surround respective apertures (16) into which are positioned downstream ends (19) of main swirler assemblies (18). The apertures (16) are arranged about a centrally positioned pilot cone (22) that comprises an inner cone (23) and an outer cone (25), defining a space (31) there between. A number of laterally directed apertures (60) are disposed along the outer cone (25) so as to direct a flow of fluid toward a near portion (38) of each lip (36), thereby perturbing pockets of high fuel-to-air mixtures between the outer cone (25) and the near region (38). The provision of such laterally directed apertures (60) reduces or eliminates flashback between the outer cone (25) and the near region (38) through such action.
