A drain system for a combustor of a gas turbine includes a plurality of drain tubes, a vertical header connected to an end of each drain tube to receive a fluid flow therefrom, and a horizontal header downstream of the vertical header and in fluid communication therewith. Each drain tube has another end adapted to be connected to a respective combustor can of the gas turbine to drain liquid therefrom. The vertical header is disposed at an angle between 30° and 90° with a horizontal plane.

1. A drain system for a combustor of a gas turbine, the combustor including a plurality of combustor cans, comprising: a plurality of drain tubes, each drain tube having a first end adapted to be connected to a respective combustor can of the gas turbine to drain liquid therefrom;a vertical header connected to a second end of each drain tube to receive a fluid flow therefrom;a horizontal header downstream of the vertical header and in fluid communication therewith; anda false start drain valve configured to open after a false start event, the false start drain valve being positioned downstream of the vertical header,wherein the vertical header is disposed at an angle between 30° and 90° with a horizontal plane,wherein the vertical header is disposed at an angle with respect to the horizontal header,wherein the horizontal header is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane to facilitate drainage of the liquid such that an angle of the horizontal header with respect to the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle of the vertical header with respect to the horizontal plane, andwherein the vertical header is arranged to enable hot gases from a first combustor can of the plurality of combustor cans to flow to a second combustor can of the plurality of combustor cans thereby causing the temperature in the vertical header to be higher than the temperature in the horizontal header. 2. The drain system of claim 1, wherein the drain tubes are configured to drain residual liquid fuel from the combustor cans after the false start event. 3. The drain system of claim 2, wherein the false start drain valve is connected to the horizontal header. 4. The drain system of claim 3, wherein the false start drain valve is pneumatically operated to open after the false start event to drain the residual liquid fluid. 5. The drain system of claim 1, wherein the angle is between 30° and 60°. 6. The drain system of claim 5, wherein the angle is 45°. 7. The drain system of claim 1, wherein the angle is between 60° and 90°. 8. The drain system of claim 7, wherein the angle is between 75° and 90°. 9. The drain system of claim 8, wherein the angle is 90°. 10. A system for a gas turbine, comprising: a turbine combustor including a plurality of combustor cans; anda drain system including: a plurality of drain tubes, each drain tube having a first end adapted to be connected to a respective combustor can of the plurality of combustor cans to drain liquid therefrom;a vertical header connected to a second end of each drain tube to receive a fluid flow therefrom;a horizontal header downstream of the vertical header and in fluid communication therewith; anda false start drain valve configured to open after a false start event, the false start drain valve being positioned downstream of the vertical header,wherein the vertical header is disposed at an angle between 30° and 90° with a horizontal plane,wherein the vertical header is disposed at an angle with respect to the horizontal header,wherein the horizontal header is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane to facilitate drainage of the liquid such that an angle of the horizontal header with respect to the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle of the vertical header with respect to the horizontal plane, andwherein the vertical header enables hot gases from a first combustor can of the plurality of combustor cans to flow to a second combustor can of the plurality of combustor cans thereby causing the temperature in the vertical header to be higher than the temperature in the horizontal header. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein a lower-most point of each combustor can is connected to a respective drain tube. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the drain tubes are configured to drain unburnt liquid fuel from the plurality of combustor cans after a false start event. 13. The system of claim 10, wherein the angle is between 30° and 60°. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the angle is 45°. 15. The system of claim 10, wherein the angle is between 60° and 90°. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the angle is between 75° and 90°.
