Provided is a burner of double tube structure including an outer tube and an inner tube. The inner tube includes a tip-side support portion fixed on the outer tube, a base-side support portion fixed on the outer tube, a main body portion supported by the tip-side support portion, bellows interposed between the main body portion and the base-side support portion, and a bulkhead member attached at a position between the tip-side support portion and the base-side support portion. Between an outer peripheral surface of the bulkhead member and an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube, a second gap smaller than a first gap between an outermost peripheral surface of the bellows and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube is interposed.

Burner and combustor

A hydrogen content fuel can be stably ignited using a gaseous fuel that does not contain hydrogen and dispersibility of the hydrogen content fuel is enhanced. A gas turbine combustor including a burner including: a startup fuel pipe in which a startup fuel circulates; a first main fuel pipe in which a main fuel circulates, a second main fuel pipe in which the main fuel circulates; a fuel mixer to which the startup fuel pipe and the first main fuel pipe are connected; an inner fuel nozzle to which the fuel mixer is connected; a plurality of outer fuel nozzles to which the second main fuel pipe is connected; a startup fuel control valve provided in the startup fuel pipe; a first fuel control valve provided in the first main fuel pipe; and a second fuel control valve provided in the second main fuel pipe.

Gas turbine combustor and its operating method

Adhesion of particulate matters to the burner accompanying combustion in a lean-combustion gas turbine combustor is suppressed, and the structural reliability is improved. In a gas turbine combustor including: a tubular liner that forms a combustion chamber; and a burner including an air hole plate that is arranged at an inlet of the liner and includes a plurality of air holes for guiding compressed air to the combustion chamber, and a plurality of fuel nozzles that are arranged on a side opposite to the combustion chamber with the air hole plate being sandwiched therebetween, the plurality of fuel nozzles each injecting a fuel toward a corresponding air hole, the air holes and the fuel nozzles forming a plurality of concentric annular lines, a plurality of small holes having opening diameters smaller than those of the air holes are provided through the air hole plate such that the plurality of small holes are positioned in an inner area of an innermost annular line of the air holes.

Gas turbine combustor

A combustor includes: a first cylindrical body which is configured to hold a fuel nozzle extending in an axial line direction and through which air flows toward a downstream side thereof; a second cylindrical body that is connected to a downstream side of the first cylindrical body; and an outer shell that has an inner peripheral surface configured to define an air introduction channel through which air is introduced such that the air reverses course at an upstream end of the first cylindrical body and flows toward the downstream side together with an outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body. The inner peripheral surface has an outside narrowing surface that is formed to extend inward in a radial direction toward the upstream end of the first cylindrical body.

Combustor, gas turbine

The gas turbine combustor and the operation method thereof are designed to minimize visualization of exhaust gas from the gas turbine upon switching of the gas turbine fuel from the oil fuel to the gas fuel. Upon switching of the combustion by the pilot burner from the oil burning to the gas burning, the gas fuel is supplied to the main burners so as to start the gas burning. Then the gas fuel is supplied to the pilot burner to start the gas burning.

Gas turbine combustor and method of operating the same

The gas turbine combustor includes a swirler lip on the air hole plate periphery, protruding toward a chamber, and a spring seal in an area for fitting the liner and the plate/lip. The spring seal has an air hole for passage of part of the combustion air introduced in the gap between the outer periphery of the air hole plate and the liner. The swirler lip has an air hole which introduces part of the combustion air passing through the spring seal air hole into the chamber. The liner has an air hole facing the spring seal air hole, to introduce part of air from outside the liner into the gap between the outer periphery of the air hole plate and the liner. A turn guide for rectifying a combustion air flow is provided at the liner end portion on the side for fitting the liner and air hole plate.

A gas turbine combustor includes a plurality of fuel nozzles, an air hole plate, a plate lip that covers an outer circumference side of the air hole plate, and an outer channel that supplies compressed air to an outer circumferential part of a portion on the plate lip side of the combustion chamber. The outer circumferential surface of the air hole plate includes a first surface joined to the plate lip and a second surface located further on the radial direction inner side of the air hole plate than the first surface to form a space between the second surface and the inner circumferential surface of the plate lip. A communicating hole that communicates the outer channel and the space is provided in the plate lip.

Gas turbine combuster

A gas turbine combustor of the present invention includes a cylindrical combustor liner, a cylindrical combustion chamber inside the combustor liner, and a burner that includes a plurality of fuel nozzles for injecting the gas fuel into the combustion chamber and an air hole plate with a plurality of air holes for guiding the compressed air into the combustion chamber. The air hole plate joins the combustor liner and is disposed between the fuel nozzles and the combustion chamber. The junction between the air hole plate and the combustor liner is provided with an inclined component which covers the junction and has a connecting surface connecting the air hole plate and the combustor liner.

A laser beam transmission apparatus comprises a light-incidence optical system () converging and focusing a laser beam emitted from a solid-state laser apparatus (), and an optical fiber () which transmits the laser beam that has been converged and focused by the light-incidence optical system. The light-incidence optical system () has at least first and second lenses () disposed on the same optical path. A first distance (a) between an output end of the solid-state laser apparatus and the first lens or a second distance (b) between the second lens and a light-incidence end of the optical fiber is freely set according to a relational formula based on a focal distance (f, f) of each of the first and second lenses.
