Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Gasturbinen. Sie betrifft eine Brennkammer für eine Gasturbine gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to the field of gas turbines. It affects a combustion chamber for a gas turbine according to the preamble of claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

In den Brennkammern, insbesondere den Sekundärbrennkammem, herkömmlicher Gasturbinen kann es im Betrieb unter bestimmten Bedingungen zu Druckschwingungen bzw. akustischen Schwingungen kommen, die frequenzmässig im Bereich von mehreren kHz, z.B. 1,8 kHz oder um 5 kHz herum liegen. Derartige Schwingungen erweisen sich als störend für den Betrieb und sind daher unerwünscht. Eine Möglichkeit zur Dämpfung oder Unterdrückung derartiger Schwingungen besteht darin, strömungstechnische Mittel in der Brennkammer vorzusehen, welche die Strömung der heissen Gase dahingehend beeinflussen, dass die akustischen Schwingungen nicht oder nur in geringem Masse angeregt werden. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, an der Brennkammer sogenannte Helmholtzresonatoren anzubringen, die als Dämpfungselemente an die Schwingungen ankoppeln und die Schwingungen dämpfen oder vollständig zum Verschwinden bringen.More conventional in the combustion chambers, especially the secondary combustion chambers Gas turbines can cause pressure vibrations during operation under certain conditions or acoustic vibrations that occur in terms of frequency Range of several kHz, e.g. 1.8 kHz or around 5 kHz. such Vibrations are disruptive to operation and are therefore undesirable. A way to dampen or suppress such vibrations consists in providing fluidic means in the combustion chamber, which influence the flow of hot gases in that the acoustic vibrations are not excited or only to a small extent. Another possibility is the so-called Helmholtz resonators on the combustion chamber attach to the vibrations as damping elements couple and dampen the vibrations or completely to disappear bring.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Beispiele für den Einsatz von Helmholtzresonatoren bekannt. In der Druckschrift US-A-5,373,695 wird eine Ringbrennkammer für eine Gasturbine beschrieben, bei welcher an der Stirnseite neben den Brennern einzelne, mit Kühlluft gespülte Helmholtzresonatoren angeordnet sind, die jeweils ein aussenliegendes Dämpfungsvolumen umfassen, das über ein Dämpfungsrohr mit der Brennkammer in Verbindung steht und zur Verhinderung einer hitzebedingten frequenzmässigen Verstimmung über ein dünnes Versorgungsrohr von aussen mit Kühlluft beaufschlagt wird.Various examples of the use of are from the prior art Helmholtz resonators known. In US-A-5,373,695 a Annular combustion chamber for a gas turbine described, in which on the front side individual Helmholtz resonators flushed with cooling air are arranged next to the burners are, each comprising an external damping volume, the is connected to the combustion chamber via a damping tube and for prevention a heat-related frequency detuning over a thin one Cooling air is applied to the supply pipe from the outside.

In der Druckschrift US-A-5,644,918 wird eine Gasturbinen-Brennkammer beschrieben, bei der innerhalb des die Brennkammer umgebenden Kühlluft führenden Doppelmantels und an der Stirnseite der Brennkammer im Bereich der Brenner durch Einziehen zusätzlicher Trennwände Helmholtzresonatoren 48 und 56 gebildet werden, die über Verengungen 50 bzw. 58 mit der Brennkammer in Verbindung stehen, im übrigen aber vollkommen abgeschlossen sind, so dass ein Durchfluss von Kühlluft durch die Resonatorräume nicht stattfindet.A gas turbine combustor is described in US Pat. No. 5,644,918, with the leading within the cooling air surrounding the combustion chamber Double jacket and on the front of the combustion chamber in the area of the burner by pulling in additional dividing walls Helmholtz resonators 48 and 56 are formed, the constrictions 50 and 58 in connection with the combustion chamber stand, but are otherwise completely completed, so that a Flow of cooling air through the resonator rooms does not take place.

Eine andere Lösung, die sich speziell auf eine Sekundärbrennkammer bezieht, ist in der Druckschrift US-A-5, 431,018 dargestellt. Ein mit Kühlluft gespülter Helmholtzresonator umgibt hier konzentrisch die radial in die Brennkammer einmündende Brennstoffleitung, durch welche der Brennstoff für die Nachverbrennung in die Brennkammer eingedüst wird.Another solution that specifically relates to a secondary combustion chamber is in US-A-5, 431,018. A Helmholtz resonator flushed with cooling air surrounds concentrically the one that opens radially into the combustion chamber Fuel line through which the fuel for afterburning in the combustion chamber is injected.

Die bekannten, mit Helmholtzresonatoren arbeitenden Lösungen sind aufwendig in der Konstruktion, lassen sich bei vorhandenen Gasturbinen nur schwer nachrüsten, nehmen, wenn sie in einer Mehrzahl eingesetzt werden, erheblichen Platz ein, und sind nicht kompatibel mit Kühlkonzepten, bei denen die Innenwand der Brennkammer durch von aussen herangeführte Kühlluft gekühlt wird. The known solutions working with Helmholtz resonators are complex in the construction, is difficult to retrofit with existing gas turbines, take up considerable space when used in a plurality a, and are not compatible with cooling concepts where the inner wall of the Combustion chamber is cooled by cooling air brought in from the outside.

Die Europäische Veröffentlichung EP-A1-0 576 717 offenbart eine Gasturbinenbrennkammer. In dieser Brennkammer ist das Flammrohr aus seiner vom Verbrennungsraum abgewandten Seite einem vom Verdichter des Gasturbine gelieferten Luftstrom ausgesetzt. Das Flammrohr setzt sich im wesentlichen aus Wandteilen zusammen, wobei die dem Verbrennungsraum abgewandten äusseren Wandteile jeweils mehrere über den Umfang verteilte Einlassöffnungen aufweisen, über die Kühlluft in einen im Flammrohr angeordneten Zwischenraum eingeleitet wird. Aus den Zwischenraum wird die Kühlluft über Austrittsbohrungen in den dem Verbrennungsraum zugewandten inneren Wandteilen in den Verbrennungsraum eingeleitet. Der Zwischenraum zwischen den Wandteilen ist zwecks Bildung eines Helmholtzresonators an ein grosses, abgeschlossenes Zusatzvolumen angekoppelt, wobei die Einlassöffnungen in den äusseren Wandteilen als Zuführrohre und die Austrittsbohrungen als Dämpfungsrohre des Helmholtzresonators, ausgebildet sind.European publication EP-A1-0 576 717 discloses a gas turbine combustor. In this combustion chamber the flame tube is located away from the combustion chamber Side exposed to an air flow supplied by the gas turbine compressor. The flame tube is essentially composed of wall parts, the combustion chamber outer wall parts facing away from each have a plurality of inlet openings distributed over the circumference have, introduced via the cooling air into an intermediate space arranged in the flame tube becomes. From the intermediate space, the cooling air is passed through outlet bores into the combustion chamber facing inner wall parts introduced into the combustion chamber. The The space between the wall parts is on to form a Helmholtz resonator large, closed additional volume coupled, with the inlet openings in the outer wall parts as feed pipes and the outlet bores as damping pipes of the Helmholtz resonator, are formed.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine durch Helmholtzresonatoren akustisch bedämpfte Brennkammer für Gasturbinen zu schaffen, welche die Nachteile der bekannten Lösungen vermeidet und sich insbesondere durch einen geringem zusätzlichen Aufwand und Platzbedarf für die integrierten Resonatoren auszeichnet, und zugleich eine effektive Kühlung der Innenwände der Brennkammer erlaubt.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an acoustically damped by Helmholtz resonators Combustion chamber for gas turbines to create the disadvantages of the known solutions avoids and especially through a small additional effort and space for the integrated resonators, and at the same time effective cooling of the Internal walls of the combustion chamber allowed.

Die Aufgabe wird bei einer Brennkammer der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die geometrischen Abmessungen der einzelnen ersten Öffnungen und/oder der Abstand zwischen Lochplatte und Innenwand im Bereich der einzelnen ersten Öffnungen und/oder der periodische Abstand der einzelnen ersten Öffnungen untereinander zur Erzeugung eines verbreiterten Dämpfungsfrequenzbandes untereinander im wesentlichen gleich oder innerhalb eines Wertebereiches unterschiedlich gewählt werden. Die Erfindung geht also von einer Ausführungsform aus, in der eine Mehrzahl von miteinander verbundenen Helmholtzresonatoren durch die Anordnung zweier parallel verlaufenden Lochplatte geschaffen werden. Die eine Lochplatte, deren relativ grosse Öffnungen zugleich die Dämpfungsrohre der Einzelresonatoren bilden, ist die Innenwand der Brennkammer selbst. Die andere, aussenliegende Lochplatte begrenzt zusammen mit der Innenwand die dazwischenliegenden, untereinander verbundenen Dämpfungsvolumina der Einzelresonatoren. Die relativ kleinen Öffnungen der aussenliegenden Lochplatte werden von Kühlluft durchströmt, die einerseits die Resonatoren thermisch und frequenzmässig stabilisiert und andererseits durch Auftreffen auf die Aussenseite der Innenwand eine hochwirksame Prallkühlung der Innenwand ermöglicht. Der zusätzliche Aufwand zur Schaffung der Resonatoren besteht dabei - wenn bei vorhandener Effusionskühlung die grossen Öffnungen in der Innenwand bereits vorhanden sind - lediglich aus dem Anbringen der äusseren Lochplatte.The object is achieved in a combustion chamber of the type mentioned in that the geometric dimensions of the individual first openings and / or the distance between Perforated plate and inner wall in the area of the individual first openings and / or the periodic spacing of the individual first openings from one another to produce a broadened damping frequency band with each other substantially the same or within of a range of values can be selected differently. The invention is therefore based on an embodiment in which a plurality of interconnected ones Helmholtz resonators by arranging two parallel ones Perforated plate can be created. The one perforated plate, the relatively large openings At the same time, the damping tubes of the individual resonators form the inner wall of the Combustion chamber itself. The other, outside perforated plate bounds together with the inner wall the intervening, interconnected damping volumes of the individual resonators. The relatively small openings on the outside Perforated plate is flowed through by cooling air, which on the one hand the resonators stabilized thermally and frequency and on the other hand by impact highly effective impingement cooling of the inner wall on the outside of the inner wall allows. The additional effort to create the resonators exists - if the large openings in the Inner wall already exist - just from attaching the outer one Perforated plate.

Die erste erfindungsgemässe Ausführungsform der Brennkammer ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die geometrischen Abmessungen der einzelnen ersten Oeffnungen und die periodischen Abstände der ersten Oeffnungen untereinander im wesentlichen gleich gewählt sind. Die einzelnen Teilresonatoren sind in diesem Fall alle auf dieselbe Dämpfungsfrequenz abgestimmt, so dass sich für die Dämpfungsanordnung insgesamt eine hohe Dämpfung in einem relativ schmalen Frequenzbereich ergibt.The first embodiment of the combustion chamber according to the invention is characterized in that the geometric dimensions of each first openings and the periodic intervals between the first openings are chosen essentially the same. The individual partial resonators are in this case, all tuned to the same damping frequency, so that for the damping arrangement overall a high damping in a relative results in a narrow frequency range.

Die zweite erfindungsgemässe Ausführungsform der Brennkammer zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die geometrischen Abmessungen der einzelnen ersten Öffnungen und/oder der Abstand zwischen Lochplatte und Innenwand im Bereich der einzelnen ersten Öffnungen und/oder der periodische Abstand der einzelnen ersten Öffnungen untereinander zur Erzeugung eines verbreiterten Dämpfungsfrequenzbandes innerhalb eines Wertebereiches unterschiedlich gewählt werden. Durch die Wertestreuung für die einzelnen Teilresonatoren wird für die Gesamtanordnung der Frequenzbereich, in welchem eine merkliche Dämpfun stattfindet, deutlich verbreitert, was vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Brennkammerschwingungen in der Frequenz stärker streuen.The second embodiment of the combustion chamber according to the invention is characterized in that the geometric dimensions of each first openings and / or the distance between the perforated plate and the inner wall in Area of the individual first openings and / or the periodic distance of the individual first openings with each other to produce a widened Damping frequency band selected differently within a range of values become. The distribution of values for the individual partial resonators means that the overall arrangement of the frequency range in which a noticeable attenuation takes place, significantly broadened, which is advantageous when the combustion chamber vibrations scatter more in frequency.

Für übliche Frequenzwerte der Brennkammerschwingungen im Bereich von mehreren kHz sind die ersten Öffnungen als Durchgangsbohrungen mit einer Länge von wenigen Millimetern und einem Durchmesser von wenigen Millimetern ausgebildet. Der periodische Abstand zwischen benachbarten ersten Öffnungen beträgt wenige Millimeter, und der Abstand der Lochplatte von der Innenwand beträgt ebenfalls wenige Millimeter.

WEGE ZUR AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGWAYS OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In Fig. 1 ist im vereinfachten Längsschnitt eine Sekundärbrennkammer wiedergegeben, die aus der EP-A1 0 669 500, bekannt ist, und die sich bevorzugt zur Verwirklichung der Erfindung eignet. Die Brennkammer 10 umfasst eine Verbrennungszone 23, welche von einer sich in axialer Richtung erstreckenden Innenwand 12 und einer radialen Innenwand 17 begrenzt ist. In die Verbrennungszone 23 treten die heissen Gase einer vorgeschalteten Verbrennungsstufe durch eine Zuströmzone 20 ein und durch einen Heissgasauslass 13 wieder aus. Die Zuströmzone 20 ist durch eine Innenwand 15 begrenzt. In die Zuströmzone 20 ragt von der Seite her eine Brennstofflanze 18 hinein, die am vorderen Ende eine Düse 19 zum Eindüsen von Brennstoff aufweist. Die Innenwände 12, 15 und 17 sind von einer sich in axialer Richtung erstreckenden Aussenwand 11 umgeben. Zwischen der Innenwand 12 und der Aussenwand 11 bleibt ein Kühlluftkanal 14 frei, durch welchen Kühlluft entgegen der Strömungsrichtung der heissen Gase in einen zwischen der Innenwand 15 und der Aussenwand 11 gebildeten erweiterten Zwischenraum 16 strömt. Die Innenwand 12 wird dabei von der Kühlluft konvektiv gekühlt. Vom Zwischenraum 16 strömt die Kühlluft durch Öffnungen 21 in der Innenwand 15 in die Zuströmzone 20, und durch Öffnungen 22 in der Innenwand 17 in die Verbrennungszone 23 ein, und bewirkt dabei eine Effusionskühlung.In Fig. 1 a secondary combustion chamber is shown in a simplified longitudinal section, which is known from EP-A1 0 669 500, and which is preferred for implementation the invention is suitable. The combustion chamber 10 includes a combustion zone 23, which of an inner wall extending in the axial direction 12 and a radial inner wall 17 is limited. In the combustion zone 23 the hot gases of an upstream combustion stage pass through a Inflow zone 20 in and out through a hot gas outlet 13. The inflow zone 20 is delimited by an inner wall 15. Protrudes into the inflow zone 20 a fuel lance 18 from the side, a nozzle at the front end 19 for fuel injection. The inner walls 12, 15 and 17 are from an outer wall 11 extending in the axial direction. Between a cooling air duct 14 remains free through the inner wall 12 and the outer wall 11 which cooling air against the flow direction of the hot gases in between the inner wall 15 and the outer wall 11 formed extended space 16 streams. The inner wall 12 is convectively cooled by the cooling air. The cooling air flows from the space 16 through openings 21 in the inner wall 15 into the inflow zone 20, and through openings 22 in the inner wall 17 into the combustion zone 23, and thereby effects an effusion cooling.

An der radialen Innenwand 17, d.h., der stufenartigen Erweiterung zwischen Zuströmzone 20 und Verbrennungszone 23 kann nun gemäss einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, wie es in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt ist, eine Helmholtzresonator-Anordnung integriert werden, die gleichzeitig eine effektive Kühlung der Innenwand 17 gewährleistet. Auf der Aussenseite der radialen Innenwand 17 wird dazu gemäss Fig. 2 in einem Abstand (A in Fig. 3) eine Lochplatte 24 parallel angeordnet, die zusammen mit der radialen Innenwand 17 ein (ringförmiges) Dämpfungsvolumen 26 einschliesst. Die Innenwand 17 weist eine Mehrzahl von mehr oder weniger regelmässig verteilten Öffnungen 27 auf, die identisch mit den Öffnungen 22 für die Effusionskühlung in der Brennkammer nach Fig. 1 sein können, aber auch abweichende geometrische Abmessungen haben können. Die als Durchgangsbohrungen mit einer Durchmesser D1 und einer Länge B (Fig. 3) ausgebildeten Öffnungen 27 wirken jede für sich als Dämpfungsrohr eines Helmholtz-Teilresonators, der aus der jeweiligen Öffnung 27 und dem dahinterliegenden Teilvolumen des Dämpfungsvolumens 26 gebildet wird. Das Dämpfungsvolumen 26 insgesamt und die Gesamtheit der Öffnungen 27 lassen sich als einzelne Helmholtzresonatoren auffassen, deren einzelne Dämpfungsvolumen untereinander zum Dämpfungsvolumen 26 verbunden sind.On the radial inner wall 17, i.e. the step-like expansion between the inflow zone 20 and combustion zone 23 can now according to a preferred Embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a Helmholtz resonator arrangement can be integrated, which is simultaneously an effective Cooling of the inner wall 17 ensured. On the outside of the radial inner wall 17 is a perforated plate according to FIG. 2 at a distance (A in FIG. 3) 24 arranged in parallel, together with the radial inner wall 17 (Ring-shaped) damping volume 26 includes. The inner wall 17 has one A plurality of more or less regularly distributed openings 27, the identical to the openings 22 for the effusion cooling in the combustion chamber 1 can be, but also different geometric dimensions can have. The as through holes with a diameter D1 and Length B (Fig. 3) trained openings 27 each act as a damping tube of a Helmholtz partial resonator, which emerges from the respective opening 27 and the underlying partial volume of the damping volume 26 is formed. The total damping volume 26 and the entirety of the openings 27 can be understood as individual Helmholtz resonators, their individual damping volumes are interconnected to form the damping volume 26.

Die Lochplatte 24 hat neben der Begrenzung des Dämpfungsvolumens zwei weitere wichtige Aufgaben. Die in der Lochplatte 24 vorgesehenen Öffnungen 25 lassen aus dem Zwischenraum 16 Kühlluft in das Dämpfungsvolumen 26 einströmen. Die einströmende Kühlluft kühlt einerseits die Helmholtzresonator-Anordnung. Dadurch wird die Geometrie und damit die Dämpfungsfrequenz der Anordnung stabil gehalten. Andererseits sind die Öffnungen 25 relativ zu den Öffnungen 27 versetzt bzw. "auf Lücke" angeordnet. Dadurch trifft die in das Dämpfungs-volumen 26 einströmende Kühlluft auf die den Öffnungen 25 gegenüberliegende Aussenseite der Innenwand 17, was zu einer effektiven Prallkühlung der Innenwand 17 führt. Der Durchmesser D2 der Öffnungen 25 (Fig. 3) ist gegenüber dem Durchmesser D1 vergleichsweise klein. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass die durchströmende Kühlluft einen ausreichenden Druckabfall erleidet.The perforated plate 24 has two more besides the limitation of the damping volume important tasks. The openings 25 provided in the perforated plate 24 allow cooling air to flow into the damping volume 26 from the space 16. The incoming cooling air cools the Helmholtz resonator arrangement. As a result, the geometry and thus the damping frequency of the arrangement kept stable. On the other hand, the openings 25 are relative to the openings 27 offset or arranged "on gap". This hits the damping volume 26 incoming cooling air on the opposite of the openings 25 Outside of the inner wall 17, resulting in an effective impingement cooling of the inner wall 17 leads. The diameter D2 of the openings 25 (FIG. 3) is opposite the diameter D1 is comparatively small. This ensures that the cooling air flowing through suffers a sufficient pressure drop.

Die Resonanzfrequenz der Resonatoranordnung bzw. der Teilresonatoren wird im wesentlichen durch den Abstand A, die Dicke B der Innenwand 17 bzw. die Länge der Öffnungen 27, den Durchmesser der Öffnungen 27 und den periodischen Abstand L (Fig. 3) der Öffnungen 27 bestimmt. Zur Dämpfung von Frequenzen im Bereich von mehreren kHz sind die Öffnungen 27 als Durchgangsbohrungen mit einer Länge B von wenigen Millimetern und einem Durchmesser D1 von wenigen Millimetern ausgebildet. Der periodische Abstand L zwischen benachbarten Öffnungen 27 beträgt wenige Millimeter, und der Abstand A der Lochplatte 24 von der Innenwand 17 beträgt ebenfalls wenige Millimeter.The resonance frequency of the resonator arrangement or the partial resonators is in the essentially by the distance A, the thickness B of the inner wall 17 or the length of the openings 27, the diameter of the openings 27 and the periodic Distance L (Fig. 3) of the openings 27 is determined. To attenuate frequencies in the range of several kHz, the openings 27 are through holes with a length B of a few millimeters and a diameter D1 of a few Millimeters. The periodic distance L between neighboring ones Openings 27 are a few millimeters, and the distance A of the perforated plate 24 of the inner wall 17 is also a few millimeters.

Für die Dämpfung höherer Frequenzen um 5,5 kHz können die in der nachfolgenden Tabelle aufgeführten beispielhaften Werte angegeben werden: Kühlluft Druck 16,6 bar Temperatur 770 K Dichte 7,51 kg/m3 Schallgeschwindigkeit 556,22 m/s kinematische Viskosität 4,71.10-6 m2/s Heissgas in der Brennkammer Temperatur 1740 K Dichte 3,32 kg/m3 Schallgeschwindigkeit 836,14 m/s Brennkammer Druckschwingungsamplitude 100 mbar Querschnittsfläche 0,0863 m2 akustische Leistung der Wanderwelle 388 W Dämpfer Resonanzfrequenz 5500 Hz Volumen eines Teilresonators 0,0005 Liter Länge (B) des Dämpfungsrohres 27 0,005 m Strömungsgeschwindigkeit im Rohr 27 4 m/s Länge der Öffnung 25 0,005 m Durchmesser D2 der Öffnung 25 0,7 mm Durchmesser D1 des Dämpfungsrohres27 4,32 mm periodischer Lochabstand L 10 mm For the attenuation of higher frequencies around 5.5 kHz, the exemplary values listed in the following table can be given: cooling air print 16.6 bar temperature 770 K density 7.51 kg / m 3 speed of sound 556.22 m / s kinematic viscosity 4.71.10 -6 m 2 / s Hot gas in the combustion chamber temperature 1740 K density 3.32 kg / m 3 speed of sound 836.14 m / s combustion chamber Pressure oscillation amplitude 100 mbar Cross sectional area .0863 m 2 acoustic power of the traveling wave 388 W damper resonant frequency 5500 Hz Volume of a partial resonator 0.0005 liter Length (B) of the damping tube 27 0.005 m Flow velocity in tube 27 4 m / s Length of opening 25 0.005 m Diameter D2 of the opening 25 0.7 mm Diameter D1 of the damping tube 27 4.32 mm periodic hole spacing L 10 mm

Das sich für die Werte aus der Tabelle ergebende Dämpfungsverhalten der einzelnen Teilresonatoren ist in den Fig. 4 und 5 wiedergegeben. Fig. 4 zeigt dabei die relative Dämpfung (relative attenuation power) über der Frequenz. Fig. 5 zeigt die Verschiebungsamplitude (displacement amplitude) in dem Dämpfungsrohr (Öffnung 27) über der Frequenz. Man erkennt, dass beide Kurven ein ausgeprägtes Maximum bei der gewünschten Frequenz von 5500 Hz aufweisen.The damping behavior of the individual for the values from the table Partial resonators is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Fig. 4 shows the relative attenuation power over frequency. Fig. 5 shows the displacement amplitude in the damping tube (Opening 27) above the frequency. It can be seen that both curves are pronounced Have maximum at the desired frequency of 5500 Hz.

Die Resonatoranordnung gemäss Fig. 2 und 3 benötigt einen Kühlluftstrom, der gross genug ist, um eine wärmebedingte Abweichung der Resonanzfrequenz vom konstruktiv festgelegten Wert zu verhindern. Ein solcher Kühlluftstrom ist in jedem Fall ausreichend für die Kühlung der Innenwand 17. Das Dämpfungsvermögen der einzelnen Öffnung 27 ist gross genug, um die Dämpfung der Gesamtanordnung auf einen breiteren Frequenzbereich auszudehnen. Dazu kann ein gewisser Streubereich für die Werte A, B, D1 und L gewählt werden, um unterschiedliche Resonanzfrequenzen der einzelnen Teilresonatoren zu realisieren. Die Länge der Öffnungen 25 ist solange nicht von Bedeutung, wie der Druckabfall über diese Öffnungen hinreichend gross ist.The resonator arrangement according to FIGS. 2 and 3 requires a cooling air flow that is large enough to withstand a heat-related deviation of the resonance frequency from the prevent constructively determined value. Such a flow of cooling air is in everyone Case sufficient for cooling the inner wall 17. The damping capacity of the single opening 27 is large enough to dampen the overall arrangement to extend to a wider frequency range. A certain amount can do this Scattering range for the values A, B, D1 and L can be chosen to be different Realize resonance frequencies of the individual partial resonators. The length of the Openings 25 are not important as long as the pressure drop across them Openings are sufficiently large.

Insgesamt ergibt sich mit der Erfindung eine Brennkammer, die bei guter akustischer Dämpfung eine effiziente Kühlung der Innenwände gewährleistet und zugleich kompakt ausgeführt werden kann. Es versteht sich dabei von selbst, dass die Helmholtzresonator-Anordnung im Rahmen der Erfindung auch an anderer Stelle der Innenwände angeordnet werden kann.Overall, the invention results in a combustion chamber which, with good acoustic Damping ensures efficient cooling of the inner walls and at the same time can be made compact. It goes without saying that the Helmholtz resonator arrangement in the context of the invention also on others Place of the inner walls can be arranged.
