Radial midframe baffle for can-annular combustor arrangement having tangentially oriented combustor cans

Title: Radial midframe baffle for can-annular combustor arrangement having tangentially oriented combustor cans

A can-annular gas turbine engine combustion arrangement (10), including: a combustor can (12) comprising a combustor inlet (38) and a combustor outlet circumferentially and axially offset from the combustor inlet; an outer casing (24) defining a plenum (22) in which the combustor can is disposed; and baffles (70) configured to divide the plenum into radial sectors (72) and configured to inhibit circumferential motion of compressed air (16) within the plenum.

Combustor having mixing tube bundle with baffle arrangement for directing fuel

Patent Hughes, Michael John ; McConnaughhay, Johnie Franklin

A combustor includes a tube bundle that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor. The tube bundle includes an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface, and a plurality of tubes extend from the upstream surface through the downstream surface to provide fluid communication through the tube bundle. A barrier extends radially inside the tube bundle between the upstream and downstream surfaces, and a baffle extends axially inside the tube bundle between the upstream surface and the barrier.

Mid-section of a can-annular gas turbine engine with a radial air flow discharged from the compressor section

Patent Little, David A. ; McQuiggan, Gerard ; Wasdell, David L.

A midframe portion (213) of a gas turbine engine (210) is presented, and includes a compressor section (212) configured to discharge an air flow (211) directed in a radial direction from an outlet of the compressor section (212). Additionally, the midframe portion (213) includes a manifold (214) to directly couple the air flow (211) from the compressor section (212) outlet to an inlet of a respective combustor head (218) of the midframe portion (213).
