A gas turbine power plant having a combustion section defined by a casing structure divided into upper and lower semi-cylindrical casing halves along a horizontal plane. The casing halves encompass an annular array of combustion chambers equally spaced from the central axis of the turbine. The end wall of the casing structure has an annular array of equally spaced openings, at least one of the openings having a smaller diameter than the maximum diameter of the associated combustion chamber. This enables a closer clustering of the combustion chambers and a corresponding decrease in the diameter of the casing structure. |
