    The document discusses combustion chambers in gas turbine engines. It describes how combustion chambers contain the burning mixture of air and fuel to generate heat and accelerate gases. There is a limit to the maximum temperature of exhaust gases to prevent damage to turbine blades. Compressed air is divided into primary and secondary paths, with primary air used to support combustion and secondary air used for cooling. The document also summarizes different types of combustion chamber designs and discusses pollutant emissions.

    COMBUSTION

    CHAMBER
    LADIA, Kyle Rasty
    MALLETA, Raven Dale
    MATEO, Marion Josh
    COMBUSTOR/COMBUSTION
    CHAMBER
    Contains the burning mixture of Air which is
    being passed from the compressor and fuel
    from the fuel spray nozzles in order to
    generate the maximum heat release of a
    substantially constant pressure so that the
    turbine receives a uniformly expanded, heated
    and accelerated stream of gas.
    COMBUSTOR/COMBUSTION
    CHAMBER

    There is a limit to the maximum


    temperature of the gas exiting
    from the combustion chamber. The
    slightest excursion above that
    temperature limit will mean
    distortion of the turbine blades
    with probably catastrophic results.
    COMBUSTOR/COMBUSTION
    CHAMBER

    Lower power settings would


    require lower fuel flows and
    consequently would generate
    lower gas temperatures. Vise
    Versa.
    COMBUSTOR/COMBUSTION
    CHAMBER
    Compressed air is divided into
    primary and secondary air paths
    (Diversion duct) before going to
    the combustion process. Primary
    air is used to support combustion
    while secondary air is used for
    cooling.

    COMBUSTOR/COMBUSTION
    CHAMBER
    VARIOUS TYPES OF COMBUSTION
    CHAMBER

    • MULTIPLE CAN
    • CAN-ANNULAR
    • ANNULAR-THROUGH FLOW
    • ANNULAR-REVERSE FLOW
    MULTIPLE CAN

    • Not commonly used today


    • Multiple Outer Housing
    • Each Combustor cans has separate burner
    units that is discharged in one open area in the
    turbine nozzle inlet.
    • The combustor cans are interconnected with
    interconnection tubes that so that as
    combustion occurs in the two combustors with
    igniter plugs, the flame moves to all the cans.
    MULTIPLE CAN
    CAN-ANNULAR

    • Common to commercial airlines powered by


    Pratt and Whitney engines.
    • Multiple liners located radially about the axis
    of the engine
    • Liners take are in front and discharges at the
    back
    • Flames propagation tubes connect the liners.
    • Twi igniter plugs in the lower cans.
    CAN-ANNULAR
    ANNULAR COMBUSTOR

    • Takes air in at the front and discharges at the


    rear.
    • Has only one liner or basket.
    • Multiple fuel spray nozzles extends to the
    basket
    • Primary and secondary air paths are same as
    the other combustor designs
    ANNULAR COMBUSTOR
    ANNULAR-REVERSE FLOW

    • For Low mass flow engines


    • Same as other combustors, the only difference is
    • Air flows over the liner and enters from the rear
    with combustion gas flow being opposite in
    direction.
    • After combustion gas flows through a deflector that
    turns the gas 180 degrees to normal direction.
    ANNULAR-REVERSE FLOW
    New Designs of Combustors

    Pre-combustion Chambers

    Is a Annular combustor in which


    primary air comes first into a pre-combustion
    chamber where it mixes with fuel and ignites.
    Manufacturers’ claims that this type of
    combustors are perfect for cold weather starting,
    low emission and high resistant to flame out.
    New Designs of Combustors

    Machine Ring Liner

    Welded rings of heavy gauge metal


    that has higher mechanical strength than the
    traditional stamped sheet metal liner. Common in
    large fan engine.
    Combustor Generated Emission

    • Highly efficient
    • Produces very little atmospheric pollution
    • Combustor efficiency is over 90% when the engine is
    operation at high power setting, dropping at approx. 95%
    at idle.
    • Most of the Emissions from Hot exhaust are non-pollutants.
    Pollutants from GTEs

    Classed by Environmental Protection Agency.

    a. Smoke
    b. Unburned hydrocarbons in fuel (HC)
    c. Carbon Monoxide (Co)
    d. Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
    Pollutants from GTEs

    Cause of Pollutants

    • Inefficiency in Combustion Process


    • High Flame Temperature reaction to burning of
    Hydrocarbon Fuel in Air.
