In this second Assignment it is your task to analyse a so called:
Dry Low Emissions Combustion System (DLE) for the RR Aero-Derivative Trent 60-DLE
Industrial Gas Turbine Generator Set
This Type of Low Emissions Combustion System is applicable to Rolls Royce (RR) Aero-
Derivative Industrial Gas Turbines in their fleet:
1) Trent 60-DLE
This Aero-Derivative Gas Turbine generates between 25 and 55 Mwe of electric power.
This type of combustion system is actually the latest type for this type of Aero-Derivative
Industrial Gas Turbine in the RR Fleet in order to reduce the emissions of NOx, CO and
Unburned Hydrocarbons (UHC) and has been developed in the late 90s.
Since this is a stationary industrial gas turbine, the original RB211 aero engine
combustion system has been modified. Investigate this difference!

Main Group Task:
It is your group task to discover this Dry Low Emissions DLE Technology for the RR
Trent 60-DLE Aero-Derivative Industrial Gas Turbine and create a Power Point
Presentation of maximum 20 slides in which this Combustion System is described using short but clear
(Bullet) Texts, Pictures, Diagrams, Curves, Flow Charts and other options available to you.
Search Internet, books or other media to discover this Dry Low Emissions (DLE) Technology.
Use as much as possible your own words, drawings etc and attempt a clear but complete Overview /
Summary Presentation which could be used when you present this in front of a class room.
Use the supplied presentation on the standard GE diffusion combustor only as an example of a typical
combustion system of an industrial GE type Gas Turbine.
Your Group Presentation must cover all aspects of the Combustion System such as:
Typical Hardware + Geometry Layout (How has the standard Aero Combustor from the RR RB211 been
modified?)
Fuel Nozzle and Fuel Injection and Fuel + Air Distribution + Ignition
Liner / Combustor Cooling System
Fuel Control versus Gas Turbine Output / Load
Emissions Characteristics (NOx, CO, UHC and others).....+ How are Low Emissions achieved?
Process Data of this Combustion System (Design TIT, Air Flow, Fuel Flows, Pressures etc)
Operational Limitations
Any other typical information that you can find on this specific piece of hardware which is interesting to
mention.
