A gas turbine engine comprises bearing(s). A structure supporting the bearing defines a bearing cavity surrounding the at least one bearing, an ambient chamber and an intermediate chamber having a portion between the bearing cavity and the ambient chamber, with at least one wall forming a passage from the bearing cavity to the ambient chamber and through the portion of the intermediate chamber. A tube is received in the passage and having a first end open to the bearing cavity and a second end open to the ambient chamber, the second end adapted to be connected to a conduit for fluid communication between the bearing cavity and the through the tube, wherein a portion of or near the first end of the tube is sealingly joined to the at least one wall, and the second end of the tube contacts the at least one wall and is free to move relative to the at least one wall.

A ducting arrangement (12) for a combustion turbine engine is provided. The arrangement includes a ceramic liner (22) defining a hot gas path throughout a length of the ducting arrangement. A cooling sleeve (24) is disposed circumferentially outwardly onto the ceramic liner along the length. A metallic support frame (26) is disposed circumferentially outwardly onto the cooling sleeve along the length. The cooling sleeve may be structured with structural features along the length for biasing against the ceramic liner and the metallic support frame to resiliently accept mechanical and thermal growth induced loading that develops between the ceramic liner and the metallic support frame during operating conditions of the combustion turbine engine.

A cross-flame duct (100) for connecting adjacent combustors (1, 2) together in a gas turbine to guard against flameout conditions within the combustors (1, 2), whereby the cross-flame duct (100) may include first and second ducts (102, 106) forming a slip joint to prevent stress from developing within the cross-flame duct (100) is disclosed. The cross-flame duct (100) remains flexible during turbine operation due to the slip joint, thereby preventing damaging thermal and mechanical stresses from developing within the cross-flame duct (100) and enhancing the useful life of the cross-flame duct (100) and associated components. The first and second ducts (102, 106) may also include cooling chambers (138, 156, 174) positioned between outer sleeves (122, 140) and inner housings (128, 146) and maintained with one or more standoffs (134, 152, 170) to reduce thermal stress and gradients or prevent material loss due to overheating or burning. The cooling chambers (138, 156, 174) may be supplied with cooling fluids via one or more fluid ports (176) extending through the outer sleeves (122, 140) enabling air to flow through the cooling chambers (1138, 156, 174) and into the combustors (1, 2).

A fluid conduit may be provided comprising a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) cross-over tube and a flange. The CMC cross-over tube may comprise a first end configured to extend into a first combustor liner of a gas turbine engine, and a second end configured to extend into a second combustor liner of a gas turbine engine. The interior of the CMC cross-over tube may define a passageway. The flange may extend outwardly from an outer surface of the CMC cross-over tube. The flange may be configured to engage at least one of the first combustor liner and the second combustor liner.

An improved combustion section for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. A fuel nozzle includes new features which provide improved injection patterns of oil fuel and cooling water, resulting in better control of combustion gas temperature and NOx emissions, and eliminated impingement of cooling water on walls of the combustor. A new combustor includes a plate-fin design which provides improved cooling, while the combustor also makes more efficient use of available cooling air and has an improved component life. A new transition component has a smoother shape which reduces stagnation of combustion gas flow and impingement of combustion gas on transition component walls, improved materials and localized thickness increases for better durability, and improved cooling features for more efficient usage of cooling air.

Disclosed is a gas turbine combustor equipped with a burner constructed to fire a plurality of combustors at the same time at a fuel/air ratio suitable for gas turbine ignition. A plurality of supports mounted for fixing an air injection hole plate to the combustor are provided at substantially the same phase position as that of cross fire tubes, and combustion air allocations are adjusted. Thus, flame propagation during gas turbine ignition is accelerated and all combustor cans are fired. In addition, porous plates are disposed downstream of the supports and the combustion air allocations are readjusted. Furthermore, air injection holes proximate to the cross fire tubes are particularly reduced in diameter to further adjust the combustion air allocations.

A super-telescoping cross-fire tube includes a cross-fire tube including a first portion and a second portion in mating engagement, the cross-fire tube extending from a first end region to a second end region for fluidly connecting a combustor chamber and an adjacent combustor chamber. Also included is an outer shield spaced radially outwardly and surrounding at least a portion of the cross-fire tube. Further included is a spring extending from proximate the first end region to the second end region and disposed between the cross-fire tube and the outer shield, wherein the cross-fire tube is telescopingly moveable between a first position and a second position.

According to one aspect of the invention, a combustor assembly for a pair of adjacent combustors includes a first passage formed in a liner of a first combustor and a flow sleeve disposed outside the liner of the first combustor, wherein the flow sleeve includes a window and a second passage aligned with the first passage. The assembly also includes a cross-fire tube disposed in the first passage to provide fluid communication between the first combustor and a second combustor and a retention clip disposed through the window to urge the cross-fire tube against an outer surface of the liner to enable the cross-fire tube to receive fluid through the first passage.
