Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided for determining the approach of the lean blow off (LBO) of a gas turbine engine having at least one combustion chamber into which a fuel is supplied and burnt generating a flame. The method includes determining a value indicative of the gas temperature in recirculation areas adjacent to the flame, and identifying the lean blow off (LBO) approach on the basis of this value. A device for determining the approach of the lean blow off (LBO) is also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining an approach of lean blow off of a gas turbine engine having at least one combustion chamber, into which a fuel is supplied and burned to generate a flame, the method comprising: measuring a gas temperature in recirculation areas inside the at least one combustion chamber adjacent to the flame such that the gas temperature is measured inside the at least one combustion chamber; and determining, by a computer system executing compute…
