ABSTRACT:
The trend toward improving air quality has caused manufacturers of gas turbines to implement direct catalytic reaction of carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons in the gas turbine combustion path. This requires mounting a catalytic reactor directly in the combustion path of the gas turbine which subjects the reactor to shock and thermal loadings, relative thermal displacements between different materials and leakage of combustion products around the catalytic reactor. A catalytic reactor is mounted within an outer structural lines, whereas a compliant and inflatable inner liner is included to support the reactor bed in the radial direction on a cushion of air derived from the compressor discharge air through an air inlet in the outer liner.
