Method And Apparatus For Enhancing Heat Transfer In A Combustor Liner For A Gas Turbine
US Patent:
6526756, Mar 4, 2003
Filed:
Feb 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/783704
Inventors:
Robert Alan Johnson - Simpsonville SC

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 730
US Classification:
60772, 298892, 2989002
Abstract:
A combustor liner is provided on its backside cooling surface with a braze alloy coating and cooling enhancement material, preferably metallic particles to enhance the heat transfer between the liner and the cooling medium. The surface area of the backside coated area is increased substantially by the coating and particles in relation to the uncoated surface areas. Consequently, the life of the liner is extended.

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 726
US Classification:
60800, 60 3937
Abstract:
An outer crossfire tube for attachment between adjacent combustors in a land-based gas turbine includes a substantially cylindrical bellows portion and a pair of uniform diameter free ends on opposite sides of the bellows portion, the uniform diameter free ends adapted to seat within apertures provided in the adjacent combustors. The outer crossfire tube is surrounded by a telescoping sleeve assembly, with remote ends of a pair of telescoping sleeve members fixed to respective combustor flanges.
External Dilution Air Tuning For Dry Low Nox Combustors And Methods Therefor
US Patent:
6331110, Dec 18, 2001
Filed:
May 25, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/578663
Inventors:
Charles Evan Steber - Simpsonville SC
Harmon Lindsay Morton - Simpsonville SC
Jacob Tussey McLeroy - Greenville SC

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F23D 1448, F02C 7057
US Classification:
431352
Abstract:
Dilution sleeves are provided in radially aligned openings in the combustion liner and flow sleeve of a combustor for a gas turbine. The sleeves have a flange for seating on a collar of the flow sleeve about the opening therethrough enabling the dilution sleeve to extend through the aligned openings. A cover is removably mounted on the outer casing and a spring bears between the cover and the dilution sleeve flange to maintain the dilution sleeve in the openings. Dilution sleeves having different cross-sectional flow areas may be provided in lieu of initially installed dilution sleeves upon comparing measured emission levels with desired emission levels and ascertaining the desired increase or decrease in cross-sectional flow area through the dilution sleeves.
