A method of holding flame with no combustion instability, low pollutant emissions, least pressure drop and flame temperature in a gas turbine combustor and a gas turbine combustor to perform the method

摘要

A swirl mesh lean direct injection concept for distributed flame holding for low pollutant emissions and mitigation of combustion instability. The invention further relates to a new method for flame holding with least pressure drop and flame temperature, in gas turbine engine combustors, wherein the liner of the combustor is partially or fully replaced with a “swirl mesh”. The invention has lean direct injection for fuel distribution over several points in gas turbine combustors along with swirl arrangement for air injection which provides low pollutant emission and low combustion instability.
