The combustion system of this gas turbine is a reverse flow type with 14

dln-1 can annular combustion chamber arranged around the periphery of

the compressor discharge casing .

combustion chambers are numbered counterclockwise as viewed looking

down stream , starting from the vertical centerline with dual fuel capability ,
this turbine burns either gas fuel or liquid fuel.

In this section the pressurized compressor discharge is directed upstream to

enter the combustion zone mixed and burned with fuel producing hot gases
which will drive the turbine.

The combustion system main components are :

Combustion rapper ,

Flame detectors.

The combustion wrapper ---is a fabricated horizontally spit casing that

encloses the combustion system . It provides a supporting surface for
combustion chamber assemblies.

The rapper forms a large plenum which receives the compressor

discharge air. This air is directed upstream to the combustion chambers.
The forward face of the wrapper is slanted @13 degrees angle from the
vertical and contains machined opening to mount the 14 combustion
covers.

The rapper is supported by the compressor discharge casing and the turbine
shell .

The combustion chamber cover function is to carry the combustion

chamber components.

The flow sleeve is mounted in the combustion chamber cover .

The flow sleeve forces the air to upstream forming a uniform air jacket
around the liner for precise combustion and cooling function among 14
chambers.

The liner is the core of the combustion system . Inside the liner the air and
fuel are burn and providing hot gases .

The liner is mounted on the flow sleeve at the forward side by three liner
stops

and supported at the aft by inserting the liner inside the transition piece.
This configuration allows the thermal expansion of the liner

spring seals are located at the aft end of the liner to prevent the compressor
discharge air from leaking into the hot gas path.

The liner consists of liner body , multi nozzle cap assembly and the venturi.
These parts are assembled together by rivets.

Combustion air flows in to liner thorough various locations primary

combustion air flows through the primary gaps tips .

Air enters metering hole for combustion functions. ( Primary premixing

zone ( premix-ss mode only).

Secondary combustion air enter through the center body. (Secondary

premixing zone).

Dilution air enters the liner from three holes at the aft side of the liner.

Due to extremely high temperature inside the liner, all surfaces which are
exposed to the flame are protected by thermal barrier coating

The combustion liner is also protected by film cooling as air flows the liner
cooling to make an air film adjacent to the liner surface . This air film keeps
the hot gases away from the liner metal.

The liner cap is protected by film cooling

All combustion chambers are interconnected by cross-fire tubes. These

tubes enable flame to propagate from one chamber to another .

cross fire tubes are couples of male and female parts.

Each is inserted into the liner crossfire tube collar

and held on position to the bracket on the flow sleeve by the cross fire
tube retainer.

All cross fire tube is surrounded by outer tubes . These tubes connect the
combustion chamber covers together.

Packing is installed to minimize leakage and held by flanges on both sides of

each tube.

as the DLN -1 system features to combustion zones,

fuel is injected to the combustion chambers through
the primary and the secondary nozzle

The primary fuel nozzle is functionally integrated with the combustion

chamber and cover and provides a flange in the center for secondary nozzle
mounting .

Fuel is injected into the primary zone through six identical nozzles.

Fuel enters the primary nozzles assembly through the fuel gas connection
flange and is routed through inernal machined passages

to the orifices located in the gas tips.

The secondary nozzle features a supply flange for secondary gas fuel
which is injected into the secondary premix zone through multiple
holes.

A small amount of the secondary gas is injected after the secondary swirler
this amount of gas is called the secondary gas sub-pilot . This amount of gas
promotes the secondary flame stability.

Transfer gas for transient transfer operation, is supplied to the relevant

supply flange and is injected before the secondary swiler Also.

Combustion means is initiated by the of two spark plugs mounted on the

11 and 12 combustion chambers.

The spark plug is mounted on the sparking ball joint. This joint allow
adjustment of the sparking plug relative to the liner

on a dln-1 combustion system . the spark plug remains inside the liner
throughout the operation for startup and primary zone readmission
functions. Once the flame is started on these chambers it propagates to the
other chambers through cross-fire tubes.

Flame is detected on combustion chamber by means of ultra violet flame

detectors mounted on four chambers. The 14th , 1st , the 2nd and the 3rd
combustion chambers.

As the DLN system features two combustion zones . Flame is detected

by four flame detectors in each zone .
