Abstract
A combustion chamber (4) for a gas turbine (1), the combustion chamber wall (24) of which is furnished on the inside with a lining formed of a number of heat shield elements (26), is to be designed for a particularly high level of operating safety. To this end, one or a number of temperature sensors (28) is/are located according to the invention between combustion chamber wall (24) and heat shield elements (26).
Claims13
A combustion chamber for a gas turbine, comprising:
- a combustion chamber wall having grooves oriented circumferentially to an axial direction of the combustion chamber;
- a lining formed from a plurality of solid heat shield elements furnished directly on the inside of the combustion chamber;
- and
- a plurality of temperature sensors that output sensor signals arranged completely between the combustion chamber wall and the plurality of heat shield elements and arranged in the circumferential grooves where each of the temperature sensors surround the heat shield elements in the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber, the sensor signals used to determine a failure of one or more of the heat shield elements.
