Abstract

The present invention relates to a burner for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine plant. The burner includes a lance for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner. A shaft of the lance has at least one nozzle for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner. A main injection direction of the respective nozzle is oriented onto a portion of a burner wall. An introduction device for a diverting fluid is provided, which is designed for introducing a diverting fluid counteracting an impingement of the fuel flow on the burner wall.

Claims (26)

1. A burner for a second combustion chamber of a gas turbine plant with sequential combustion having a first combustion chamber and the second combustion chamber, wherein the second combustion chamber has a combustion space downstream of the burner, the burner comprising:

a burner wall;

an introduction device provided on the burner wall laterally delimiting a mixing space of the burner and extending the mixing space downstream;

a lance in the mixing space for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner, the lance comprising a shaft having a longitudinal mid-axis extending parallel to a main flow direction and at least one nozzle for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner with a main injection direction towards the burner wall, wherein the lance has a base, which extends transversely with respect to the main flow direction and is fastened to the burner wall;

an outlet side of the burner through which gas flows out of the mixing space and enters the combustion space of the second combustion chamber;

wherein the introduction device introduces a diverting fluid consisting of an oxidizer gas, air, steam or an inert gas into the burner and directs the diverting fluid towards the longitudinal mid-axis of the shaft to divert the gaseous fuel injected by the at least one nozzle and counteracting an impingement of the fuel flow onto the burner wall; and

wherein the introduction device introduces the diverting fluid into the burner with a main introduction direction which is parallel and opposite to the main injection direction of the respective nozzle, wherein the introduction device comprises at least one nozzle for introducing the diverting fluid, which is arranged radially opposite to the respective nozzle of the shaft, wherein for each nozzle arranged on the shaft, one nozzle of the introduction device is arranged either in or on the burner wall.

2. The burner of claim 1 , wherein the main injection direction is radially outwards with respect to the longitudinal mid-axis.

3. The burner of claims 1 , wherein a main introduction direction with which the introduction device introduces the diverting fluid into the burner is towards the longitudinal mid-axis.

4. The burner of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of nozzles of the lance are arranged next to one another on the shaft along an annular row.

5. The burner of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of nozzles of the lance are arranged next to one another distributed in the circumferential direction of the shaft.

6. The burner of claim 1 , wherein the lance has a base which extends perpendicularly or at an inclination to the main flow direction in the burner and from which the shaft emanates and extends parallel to the main flow direction.

7. The burner of claim 1 , further including at least one nozzle for introduction of liquid fuel in the main flow direction and arranged at the downstream end of the shaft.

8. A burner for a second combustion chamber of a gas turbine plant with sequential combustion having a first combustion chamber and the second combustion chamber, wherein the second combustion chamber has a combustion space downstream of the burner, the burner comprising:

a burner wall;

an introduction device provided on the burner wall laterally delimiting a mixing space of the burner and extending the mixing space downstream;

a lance in the mixing space for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner, the lance comprising a shaft having a longitudinal mid-axis extending parallel to a main flow direction and at least one nozzle for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner with a main injection direction towards the burner wall, and wherein the lance has a base, which extends transversely with respect to the main flow direction and is fastened to the burner wall;

an outlet side of the burner through which gas flows out of the mixing space and enters the combustion space of the second combustion chamber;

wherein the introduction device introduces a diverting fluid into the burner and directs the diverting fluid consisting of an oxidizer gas, air, steam or an inert gas towards the longitudinal mid-axis of the shaft to divert the gaseous fuel injected by the at least one nozzle and counteracting an impingement of the fuel flow onto the burner wall;

wherein the base of the lance extends perpendicularly or at an inclination to the main flow direction in the burner and from which the shaft emanates and extends parallel to the main flow direction; and

wherein the introduction device introduces the diverting fluid into the burner with a main introduction direction which is parallel and opposite to the main injection direction of the respective nozzle, wherein the introduction device comprises at least one nozzle for introducing the diverting fluid, which is arranged radially opposite to the respective nozzle of the shaft, wherein for each nozzle arranged on the shaft, one nozzle of the introduction device is arranged either in or on the burner wall.

9. The burner of claim 8 , wherein the main injection direction is radially outwards with respect to the longitudinal mid-axis.

10. The burner of claims 8 , wherein a main introduction direction with which the introduction device introduces the diverting fluid into the burner is towards the longitudinal mid-axis.

11. The burner of claim 8 , comprising:

a plurality of nozzles of the lance, and wherein the plurality of the nozzles are arranged next to one another on the shaft along an annular row.

12. The burner of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of nozzles are arranged next to one another distributed in the circumferential direction of the shaft.
