Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a turbine combustor probe having a combustion dynamics monitoring probe configured to monitor combustion dynamics within a turbine combustor. The turbine combustor probe also has a gas sampling sleeve configured to collect a gas sample from an airflow path between a liner and a flow sleeve of the turbine combustor.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a turbine combustor;
- a combustor probe, comprising:
- a combustion dynamics monitoring probe configured to monitor combustion dynamics within the turbine combustor;
- and
- a gas sampling sleeve disposed about the combustion dynamics monitoring probe and configured to collect a gas sample from an airflow path between a liner and a flow sleeve of the turbine combustor;
- and
- a combustor probe holder configured to mount the combustor probe within a probe port of the flow sleeve;
- and
- a gas monitoring system coupled to the gas sampling sleeve, wherein the gas monitoring system is configured to receive and analyze the gas sample.
6 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a probe holder configured to mount to a flow sleeve of a turbine combustor;
- a gas sampling sleeve configured to collect a gas sample from an air flow in the turbine combustor, wherein the gas sampling sleeve is disposed within the probe holder;
- a combustion dynamics probe configured to monitor combustion dynamics in the turbine combustor, wherein the combustion dynamics probe is disposed within the gas sampling sleeve, and an annular passage is disposed between the combustion dynamics probe and the gas sampling sleeve;
- and
- a gas monitoring system coupled to the gas sampling sleeve, wherein the gas monitoring system is configured to receive and analyze the gas sample.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a combustor probe;
- a gas sampling tube operatively coupled to a gas sample cavity, wherein the gas sampling tube and the gas sample cavity are configured to receive the combustor probe and to collect a gas sample from an air flow in a turbine combustor, and wherein the gas sampling tube comprises a plurality of apertures configured to direct the gas sample from the air flow in the turbine combustor to the gas sample cavity;
- a gas monitoring system, wherein the gas monitoring system is configured to receive and analyze the gas sample;
- and
- a gas lead extending from a lead out port of the gas sample cavity to the gas monitoring system, wherein the gas lead is configured to flow the gas sample from the gas sample cavity to the gas monitoring system.
