Abstract

1372432 Thermal regenerators RN PENNY 29 March 1973 [29 Dec 1971] 60389/71 Heading F4K [Also in Division F1] In a rotary matrix type thermal regenerator for heating a combustion-supporting gas (e.g. compressed air flowing to the regenerator via a duct 28), a porous insert 32 is located in the gas path downstream of and spaced from the rotor 24, and means 34 are provided for introducing a fuel into said gas upstream of the insert 32 either upstream or downstream of the rotor, and for igniting said gas (igniter 36) downstream of the insert so that the downstream face of the insert forms a flame-holding surface for the ignited gas. In use, the burnt gases pass via a duct 30 to a gas turbine (not shown) from which the turbine exhaust flows via a duct 31 to the regenerator matrix 24. If excess fuel in the turbine exhaust gases is to be burnt, an additional porous insert 33 may be provided in the exhaust gas path downstream of the matrix 24, fuel being injected into the exhaust gases at 35 and the gases being ignited downstream of the insert 33 by an igniter 37. The matrix and the inserts may be formed of a ceramic foam material or of spaced-apart ceramic rods. The means 22, 23 for locating the matrix may be as described in Specification 1,372,433 and the rotating means for the matrix may comprise driving buckets as described in Specification 1,363,769.
