ABSTRACT:
A catalytic combustor arrangement for use with a gas turbine power plant, has independently regulatable fuel injection elements disposed upstream of a discrete array of passageways disposed between the fuel injection elements and a catalytic reaction member. The centermost fuel injection elements of each combustor may function alone which will permit efficient idling operation of the power plant. The passageways will maintain the flow of fuel and air to only the central portion of each catalytic reactor element thus providing the efficient, low speed, idling, operation of the turbine. As additional fuel injection elements are activated, additional portions of the catalytic reaction member perform the combustion function at the desired level of turbine operation. Thus a wide range of operating conditions of the gas turbine is efficiently permitted with the regulatable fuel injection arrangement therewith.
