Currently, the priority for improvement of the combustion chambers of aircraft gas turbine engines and ground-based gas turbine plants is associated with a decrease in the concentration of harmful substances in the exhaust gases while ensuring fuel economy and operational efficiency. Pride of place in the design of a gas turbine power plant goes to solving the problem of organizing the combustion process, i.e. the development of a low-emission combustion system that provides high efficiency and environmental safety. Thus, ecology today determines not only the appearance of a combustion chamber, but also that of a gas turbine power plant as a whole. Below, an attempt is made to summarize the results of developing a low-emission combustion system for various types of combustion chambers of convertible gas turbine power plants and to present a unified approach to the problem of designing a conceptual structure of a low-emission combustion chamber.
