GAS TURBINE ANNULAR COMBUSTOR ARRANGEMENT

A combustor arrangement, the combustor arrangement being annular and being arranged about an axis, the axis defining an axial direction, having an annular housing to house a plurality of burners and an annular combustion chamber, the burners arranged circumferentially about the axis inside the annular housing, wherein an annular space is defined between the housing, the burners and the annular combustion chamber, the annular space arranged to guide a compressed fluid. A plurality of stiffening plates, each arranged within the annular housing, wherein two adjacent ones of the burners are separated by one of the stiffening plates. A combustor separating wall arrangement separates the annular space from the annular combustion chamber provides openings for the burners. The stiffening plates are arranged angled and connected to the combustor separating wall arrangement and two boundary walls of the housing, and further plates extend into the annular space.
