Combustion section consist of:
2 Spark Plug 4 Ultraviolet Flame Sensor Mounting Adapters
Crossfire Tubes
Back
Combustion Chamber
Construction Between Compressor &Turbine Section. Chamber must be in a through-flow position. Its design such that the air near the nozzle stays close to the front wall of the liner. Why?
Function of Air flow through Combustion Chamber: To oxidize the fuel. To cool the metal parts. To control the combustion products.
Operation A flame Sensor (gas filled detector) Sensitive to the present of Ultraviolet radiation (emitted by a Hydrocarbon flame). Failure to detect flame will inhibit further progress of the sequence.
Spark Plugs
Purpose - To provide a place for an electric spark that is hot enough to ignite the mixture of air & fuel inside the combustion chamber of gas turbine. Operation Electrode Type spark plugs. Supply High voltage current arcing across a gap on the spark plug. Received power from Ignition Transformer. Two are installed.
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Retainer
Core Assembly
Fuel Nozzle
Purpose To control the amount of fuel into combustion chamber. Fitted on each combustion chamber.
Operation Fuel get through Central Tube. Air pass through annular space. The mixing of Fuel and Air at passage K. Final mixing and atomization at circular slot L.
Fuel Nozzle
Transition Pieces
Purpose - To link the hot gas path between combustion chambers and first stage nozzle. Construction Clamped to the forward side of nozzle assembly. The Nozzle assembly sealed at both outer and inner periphery.Why?
Transition Pieces
The air entering through opposing liner holes mixes rapidly with the fuel to form a combustible mixture.
Air entering the forward section of the liner recirculate & move upstream against the fuel spray. Why?
Air entering the downstream part of the liner provides the correct mixture for combustion and creates turbulence for mixing the fuel & air.Why?
Cracks result from continuous full capacity application of gas turbine i.e. high speed equal to high temp in combustion chamber.
Blocked cooling holes result from burnt rice (dry seed).
Recap
