ABSTRACT:
An annular combustor having radial dilution air injection in a gas turbine is disclosed. The gas turbine includes a rotor having turbine blades and a nozzle adjacent the turbine blades which is adapted to direct hot gases at the turbine blades to cause rotation of the rotor. The annular combustor is disposed about the rotor and has an outlet to the nozzle, spaced inner and outer walls, and a generally radially extending wall connecting the inner and outer walls. The gas turbine includes a housing substantially surrounding the annular combustor in spaced relation to the inner, outer and radially extending walls to define a dilution air flow path. The dilution air flow path includes a compressed air inlet in communication with a compressor supplying dilution air at one end thereof and a compressed air outlet in communication with the annular combustor adjacent the outlet at the other end thereof. With this arrangement, the dilution air flow path extends substantially entirely about the annular combustor to cool the inner, outer and radially extending walls thereof.
