A fuel injection device includes a fuel injection unit provided with a plurality of fuel injection members. The fuel injection unit is held by a holding-and-supplying unit. The fuel injection members are connected to the holding-and-supplying unit by a connecting-and-supplying unit. A fuel is supplied to the fuel injection members through fuel supply passages formed in the holding-and-supplying unit and the connecting-and-supplying unit so as to extend from the holding-and-supplying unit through the connecting-and-supplying unit to the fuel injection members.

Fuel supply method and fuel supply system for fuel injection device

A fuel supply method for a fuel injection device including a fuel injection unit, comprising: supplying fuel to a first fuel injection member of the fuel injection unit through a first fuel supply passage internally formed in a holding-and-supplying unit holding the fuel injection unit; and supplying fuel to a second fuel injection member of the fuel injection unit through a second fuel supply passage internally formed in the holding-and-supplying unit.

A sealing structure for sealing a gap between a combustor liner having an outer surface and a surrounding structure surrounding the combustor liner, includes: an annular sealing member held on the surrounding structure so as to be in contact with the outer surface of the combustor liner. The sealing member includes a plurality of sealing segments arranged in an annular configuration. The sealing structure seals the gap around the combustor liner of the combustor and absorbs, the difference in thermal expansion between the combustor liner and the surrounding structure.

Sealing structure for combustor liner

A seal structure for sealing a gap between a combustor liner and a neighboring structure adjacent to the combustor liner, includes an annular sealing member mounted on the neighboring structure so as to be in contact with an annular outer surface of the combustor liner to seal the gap between the combustor liner and the neighboring structure. The annular sealing member includes a plurality of sealing segments which are arranged in an annular form as a whole.

Seal structure for combustor liner

The liner supporting structure for the annular combustor of the present invention has a flexible connection member of connecting a structural body constituting a part of the combustor to a liner, the connection member having a first end positioned on a side of the structural body and a second end positioned on a side of the liner, the second end being disposed on an outer surface of an end part of the liner positioned on the side of the structural body; a first fixing means of fixing the first end of the connection member to the structural body; and a second fixing means of fixing the second end of the connection member to the end part of the liner. According to the present invention, even in the case that there is a large difference in linear expansion coefficient between the materials of the liner and the structural body of the combustor for supporting the liner so that a relative displacement is generated between the two due to temperature changes, the structural body of the combustor can strongly support the liner without applying excessive stress to the liner formed by, for example, a ceramics material.
