Sequential combustion arrangement with cooling gas for dilution

A gas turbine with a sequential combustor arrangement as disclosed includes a first combustor with a first burner for admitting a first fuel into a combustor inlet gas during operation and a first combustion chamber for burning the first fuel, a dilution gas admixer for admixing a dilution gas to the first combustor combustion products leaving the first combustion chamber, a second burner for admixing a second fuel and a second combustion chamber. To assure a temperature profile after the dilution gas admixer and to increase the gas turbine's power and efficiency a vane and/or blade of the turbine has a closed loop cooling. The outlet of the closed loop cooling is connected to the dilution gas admixer for admixing the heated cooling gas leaving the vane and/or blade into the first combustor combustion products.

Cooling apparatus for a fuel injector

An annular air swirler configured to receive a fuel injector in a central bore. The swirler has one or more annular channels, defined by radially facing channel walls and having an inlet for receiving compressed air and an axially distal outlet. The channel walls converge inwardly towards the outlet and swirl vanes extend between opposing faces of the walls. The swirler turns incoming air to create a vortex at the channel outlet. An annular cooling apparatus associated with the air swirler is arranged axially adjacently downstream of the channel outlet(s), and includes a skirt portion radially spaced from a converging portion of the outermost channel wall defining a converging portion of a bowed coolant channel. A radially outwardly extending wall connects with the outermost channel wall and, with a face of the skirt portion, defines a radially outwardly extending portion of the bowed coolant channel adapted for increased heat exchange.
