AI Technical Summary
Flame cylinders are prone to burning problems during operation of gas turbines, mainly due to the excessive wall temperature caused by high temperature airflow erosion and thermal load radiation.
A flame cylinder structure with interlaced cooling ribs is designed. By reasonably arranging the cooling ribs in a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape on the outer wall of the flame cylinder, the wall spoiler strength is increased, and the generation of standing vortex is reduced, thereby improving cooling efficiency.
This structure significantly improves the cooling efficiency of the wall of the flame barrel and extends the service life of the flame barrel. At the same time, the structure is simple, and there is no need for a hole punching process, which does not affect the combustion process.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs. Background Art
[0002] The fuel combustion process in the gas turbine combustion chamber occurs in the flame tube. The high-temperature airflow generated by the combustion washes the inner wall of the flame tube. At the same time, the combustion zone radiates a large amount of heat load to the flame tube wall, which causes the inner wall temperature of the flame tube to be relatively high. At present, the maximum wall temperature of the flame tube shall not exceed 1200 K. The maximum wall temperature is allowed to reach 1300 K in a short time. The temperature of a large area of the flame tube surface should be around 1144 K to maximize the service life. During the gas turbine experiment or the whole machine operation process, the flame tube is prone to burnout. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and provides a flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs. The structure increases the wall turbulence intensity and reduces the generation of trapped vortex by reasonably arranging the ribs on the outer wall of the flame tube, thereby greatly improving the cooling efficiency of the flame tube wall.
[0004] The above purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions: A flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs, comprising a front straight section, a contraction cone section and a rear straight section, wherein the tail of the front straight section is welded to the large diameter end of the contraction cone section, the head of the front straight section is fixed to the head of the combustion chamber, and the small diameter end of the contraction cone section is welded to the rear straight section; A plurality of circles of cooling ribs are fixed on the outer annular surface of the contraction cone section, and the plurality of circles of cooling ribs are arranged axially along the contraction cone section.
[0005] In the flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs, the cooling ribs in two adjacent circles are staggered.
[0006] The flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs is described, wherein the cooling ribs are of trapezoidal cross-section shape. Beneficial Effects
[0007] 1. The present invention increases the wall turbulence intensity and reduces the generation of trapped vortex by reasonably arranging ribs on the outer wall of the flame tube, thereby greatly improving the cooling efficiency of the flame tube wall.
[0008] 2. The present invention has a simple structure, does not require a hole punching process on the wall, and does not affect the combustion process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , a flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs, which comprises a front straight section 1, a contraction cone section 2 and a rear straight section 3, wherein the tail of the front straight section 1 is welded to the large diameter end of the contraction cone section 2, and the head thereof is fixed to the head of the combustion chamber, the small diameter end of the contraction cone section 2 is welded to the rear straight section, and the rear straight section is connected with the rear end component to fix the whole; A plurality of circles of cooling ribs 4 are fixed on the outer annular surface of the contraction cone section, and the plurality of circles of cooling ribs are arranged axially along the contraction cone section.
[0011] In the flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs, the cooling ribs in two adjacent circles are staggered. When the combustion chamber is running, the low-temperature air 5 provided by the front air supply device flows back along the outer wall of the contraction cone section 2 from the small diameter end to the large diameter end for cooling. The cooling ribs 4 are staggered, which strengthens the cooling of the low-temperature air 5, destroys the boundary layer, and increases the turbulence effect; The low temperature air 5 is mixed with the fuel and burns after flowing through the contraction cone section 2. The fuel burns at the nozzle outlet to generate a large amount of high temperature combustion gas 6, which flows along the inside of the contraction cone section 2 from the large diameter end to the small diameter end.
[0012] The flame tube structure with staggered cooling ribs is trapezoidal in cross section, which reduces the dead zone area of cooling air flow.
